I love the way Ben starts every video like it's a children's story 😂 "Today children, we are going to learn how Mr Rabbit programmed his own shader using C++ and a raspberry pi!"

You are outstanding teacher, your videos are very valuable for me, thank you!

Ben, Thank You! I am an artist, and these technical setup videos with clear explanation and thorough setup examples really help me make my work come to life in an efficient way. Again, Thank You!

You're doing god's work

Thank you so much for the continued shader tutorials. I will always say this. You are one of the best teachers on youtube and your tutorials are absolutely amazing. I have been watching your videos for a few years now and everything I know about shaders and most of what I know about texturing I have learned from you. Thank you for helping me learn how to use unity and unreal engine to create shaders to help build beautiful worlds I can use to express my creative side.

Thank you for your outstanding work.

Mr. Cloward, sir you did great videos, I can tell it will be very useful even for a starter of CG like me, thanks for selfless sharing!

good job dude!

Ben, Thank You!

Great video! Thank you!

Great video! Getting organized and having a better understanding of what what the node systems can do is really powerful. I would be interested to also hear about how you manage vertex/interpolator operations in shader graph, and what some good uses might be.

Thank you for sharing ! your knowledge, I wish you the best in your life !.

thanks, grate explanation grate tutorial

I watched 1-13 of the basic shader graph tutorials, as well others, and I haven't seen any on the GUI side of things. I'm having a little trouble adding inputs within Unity so that I can change things on the material in the inspector. If you could make a basic to in depth tutorial or series on adding GUI to the shaders, that'd be great! I might be able figure out how to add a albedo map value for the user to select a texture for, but what if I want to have a button on the Material that automatically adds all the other associated texture maps with a similar name. So for example, I add my "Rocks_diffuse" and then click a button and it auto adds all the other maps into their slots "Rocks_normal", "Rocks_height", "Rocks_metalic", and "Rocks_ao". Sometimes, it's a pain to add all the maps every time... and I wish I knew how to create better GUIs for shaders. I'm a big fan of your tutorials! I've learned so much in such a short time. I just recreated your parallax shader in Unity's URP; it's so neat to see and understand how it works! Thank you so much!

Hey I love your vids, I wonder what would be your take on a Bottle Liquid VFX ? Best wishes.

Brilliant as always. How about material layers and materials blends after this? :)

Hey Ben I was wondering if you're interested in going over UE5.2's new material functionality with their Substrate system? It essentially lets you author shader models in the material graph, I'd love to hear your input on it given the amount of hidden gems of info you know.

Ive been using Functions for some time but I wanted to know your thoughts on when to choose what input? I see you use Color as V3, but DetailTex is a T2d. Is it because there might be something packed into the alpha of the Detail Texture so it's better to use T2d input? If you end up plugging a texture that only uses RGB, is it more performant to put a V3 input instead? doesn't it matter because the same texture is sampled regardless?

Any way to add modifiable 'details' in our Unreal material functions ? , many Ue5 native nodes have them , but i cant seem to expose properties within my Material functions (like a simple switch to toogle betwwen default colors).

Do subgraphs allow more sampled textures? We have a system that allows multiple textures to be combined and output a single texture that is then applied to the material's base color. We've had to restrict the number of textures to be combined as there are errors when we go above 11-ish sampled textures in the shader. This is easily breached when you add in the multiple other textures that are required. If we can do the combining in a subgraph and free up textures in the shader it would be good. Or is there another way?

When will the boss talk more about the UESubstrate new material system...

Please do a grass shader 🥺🔥
