In this video, we're going to take a look at how to make procedural moss in Blender. This moss node is a part of my pack of procedural nodes that I released as my fifth Blender Creative Package for the month of July.

how did you make the moss node group though, how to get those 4 inputs and outputs, you didnt explain much of how it all comes together very well, especially for newbies... Any help?

@collinfarrell9718 Жыл бұрын

If we combine the invert node of the mask with the less than node of the color, then we are bypassing the color addition all together. How to actually apply the color to the mask was skipped unless I'm missing something. Anyone able to clarify how to mask the color?

@adandaher115 2 жыл бұрын

are you sure your veiwer node is connected with the material ? and are you sure you added the colourramp that is connected to noise texture thn texture coordinate ?

@RenderRides 2 жыл бұрын

2:15 is where I display the entire node setup. I also go over how to use the output parameters before that. You don't need to make a NodeGroup in order to use this setup, but it's done by selecting everything and pressing Ctrl+G. I go over the input parameters at 7:57. Hope this makes it a bit clearer, thanks for watching! :D

Hi i might be missing something but my final result just looks like moss colorured noise. If i reduce the value it just looks ive got mould on my asset (the base colour stays black) also the texture is just flat, i am unsure where i went wrong.

@somerital Жыл бұрын

Great info, but too many jump cuts where you don't show where you plugged certain nodes ie 4:20 , "Let's add a noise node" and then cuts to the node already plugged into something but can't see which input it is.

@BoomShaqaLaqa 3 жыл бұрын

So one thign i cannot get a grip on, do you need a crazy dense mesh to do moss like this? I even copied what you did, and i cannot get the same result , with the moss looking nice and 3D esq.. I cant see it requiring that dense mesh to be a viable way , but i cant see any other way to get that result , idk what im doing wrong :/

@RenderRides 2 жыл бұрын

It does require a lot of geometry to get that 3D look, so you'd need an adaptive subdivision surface modifier on the mesh to tesselate the surface according to the distance from the camera. This is not something that I'd recommend for background objects far from the camera, as there's no way all that geometry will actually appear in the final render. Hence, you can get away with less geometry on those objects. An alternate way to create moss would be to just model the moss separately, and then scatter it using particle systems or geometry nodes. But that's beyond the scope of this video.

@BoomShaqaLaqa 2 жыл бұрын

@@RenderRides ah completely forgot about adaptive subdivisions, yeah that changed it COMPLETELY. Since you know more about this method than I do, obviously, Would you say that the tessalation method is better than particle? Are there any particular situations you would rather go wtih thsi method over particle or the other way around? No worries if you can't answer, just figured i'd ask. Ive been looking into doing nice high quality 3D moss for a while now, and im so happy i remembered getting that package!

I learned through experimenting mostly, which might not be the most efficient way to learn. There are channels dedicated to nodes, or which mostly create content related to nodes and maths in Blender. A few I know personally and can recommend are- just 3d things and Erindale. They're new KZfaqrs who make highly informative content.

It's the base color texture of the model. You can use your own model's base color texture, an RGB node, etc. in place of that.

@pavanbhadaja8859 4 жыл бұрын

Awesome work. Love it. but i just want to point out some stuff that might be helpful to you. Firstly thumbs up on using maximum detail of noise to 6.00, because above that it does not provide any(visually noticable) value on grayscale level-useful for normal map but only on close up shot(imo). Other thing is you are using 4d noise on top of AO node. both are quite computational expensive so if one is not planing to make loop or animate it 4d noise should not be used. It is ok if used on couple of objects but on a large scene it might increase render times - this is my personal opinion. if you want to different noise seed then maybe use 1d noise to drive location and rotation of main noise.

No doubt some great information here, shame it was all rushed through as if you had someplace else to be. I'm not really interested in just copying what someone does, I want to learn why they do it and what makes it work. The rushed drawings and pointless imagery that flashes up momentarily is meant to convey information and fails utterly because you barely stop speaking to take breath, making the entire thing a breathless exercise in how not to teach.

I had the same problem then I figured it out, when you group the nodes ( Carl +G) you have to press the arrow button on the right side ( next to the element that looks like a magnet ) so the screen changes to the grouped nodes node ( with the dark green color) where you can add the nodes you need and connect it to them
