Nice!

Your videos are what got me into cg and modelling. And thanks to your array of tutorials and advice ive gone from wanting to do maths at college to now going to one especially for cg. Yet again thanks for your videos which i hope will keep coming :)

Render animations in evee next time. It will take you less time.

@@patek2385 hell naw

Bah, who the hell cares about PBR cheat sheets anyway? 😟It's a problem on BlenderKit as well - likely all/most other asset repositories too - "look, I'm using PBR, but I'm not following the rules of PBR". Also sets the light strength completely arbitrary. If not using mathematically correct scaling, at least scale it to complement sky only Nishita but not really competing with sun & sky Nishita in an indoor setting. Nishita and background (with no HDR) at strength 1, and adjust CM exposure. The idea should be to create re-usable assets scaled to real world scales incl emission strengths. Also, for a light that is based solely on indirect lighting from a LED source, I'd examine how the indirect actually looks on the lamp shade itself, and then try to fake it within the material so that it provides direct illumination instead. This to limit an obvious source for noise.

Totally agree. Any recommendations?

@@DerekElliott look at Blender Guru's 20-minutes kitchen tutorial. It doesn't cover all the process but point to the important ones

@@DerekElliott why don't you upload ff every friday

@@rdtrmb.8782 KZfaq is still not my main focus but I am trying to upload more! Still happy to hear ideas of furniture/light/home pieces you like!

Will have to make a video on this

You should render out all the frames individually in a sequence and then you can, in a new blender project, string them all together and export a video file. Some of my videos cover this but probably best to find a short one that shows the process!

You may need to reorganize or reapply materials. Also if you are done with that piece you can just apply the solidify and apply the materials to the right parts the normal way

Yes you could use an obj

I had the same issue. what I did, was assign the white colour to the shade as being the main one. i.e. select the model in edit mode, select the white colour and hit assign. then, I moved the white material above the black one. you should have the correct colour scheme now when hitting 1 in the material offset.

@@georges6591 I found another solution: Solidify modifier > Normal > Flip. that will make it work, And thanks for the reply btw man.

@@aymenterea That's a good point. I completely forgot about the normals

@@aymenterea Thank you!!

Hi, you can try modifier properties>Solidify>Materials>Material offset 1 and Rim set to 1. That solved the problem for me as I didn't want to change the Normals position. It would also be good to experiment with Edge data to define the relationship between the two materials. I also removed the current materials from the object (part) I'm working on and installed new ones. I wish you all the best and keep going. Congratulations Derek on another useful tutorial.

I had the same issue. Just invert the normals. Either by using the usual way or in the solidify modifier tab under "normals".

Turn on subtitles if english is not your first language. He goes into xray mode (Alt-z) and adds 3 more extrudes - with each extrude also moved and scaled. Then an edge loop is added (Crtl -r) between the last two edge loops, and slid up close to the loop above it. That is to keep that corner sharp. If you press e then s (like he did) you get the extrude & get to scale it immediately. Follow the keypress indicator at the bottom left if you dont know what he has done.

Thank you Neil! Sorry I didn't call out as many hotkeys on this one as normal

@@DerekElliott Glad to help.

are you talking about the material offset @33:39?

Oh gosh did I say numpad

@@DerekElliott 😂😂 it's ok btw, Love your work
