Helpful Hint for using the different files that you will download off of Poliigon; Battered_basecolor.tif is the same as MetalCorrodedHeavy001_COL file. (Color) Battered_height.tif is the saem as MetalCorrodedHeavy001_DISP file. (Displacement) Battered_metallic.tif is the same as MetalCorrodedHeavy001_METALNESS file. Roughness is Roughness. The Normal map that he is using is the same one that we made in the previous episode, and if you did not have it applied when you closed Blender, you wont be able to find it in your drop-down and you'll have to recreate the Normal map following the previous video. Hope this saves you guys some headache.

For those in 2.9 (possibly 2.8): The 'Texture Node Editor' is for all model textures, the colours, Principled BDSF, diffuse, normal maps etc. The 'Shader Editor' is used for HDRs and the environment. When you are on it, click the button in the top left corner of the editor panel that, by default, will say 'Object'. Change it to 'World' and then you can add in your environment texture and HDR.

There's a quick fix to get rid of the stone-like appearance of the anvil and make it more metallic in colour on Blender 2.82. 1. Finish the tutorial and on the final node setup add a mixRGB node (color>mixRGB) between the first Image Texture Node and the Principled BSDF node 2. Connect "color" on the Image Texture node to "color 1" on the mixRGB node, then change "color 2" to a grey colour. 3. Adjust the "fac" value till you think the anvil looks metallic enough. After considering some advice in the comments, I adjusted other values as well to make the anvil more metallic. 1. In the mapping node, I changed the scale to 6. (Edit: After finishing the series, scale value 2 worked for me better) 2. Reduced the strength in the bump node to 0.15. 3. Added a math node in-between the Metallic Image Texture node and the metallic parameter in the Principled BDSF node, changed the operation to multiply and set the value to 4. 4. For the math node affecting "Roughness", I set the value to 0.9.

Hey friends, if you're coming straight from the Anvil Normal Map tutorial, I'd recommend skipping the step at @5:10 of creating a new material. just use your existing material (with the normal map) from the previous tutorial and ADD all the nodes to the existing layout. For some reason I really screwed things up when trying to follow this video exactly and creating a whole new material. The only difference if you stick with the original material is that you will be changing the output of the normal map node, from going into the Principled BSDF node (from the last video) into the new Bump node via its normal input (created in this video). Hope that helps someone!

When downloading the textures for the anvil make sure you select Metalness under the workflow tab. It's auto selected to Specular. The reason from what I understand is because he is using the Principled Shader. This will give you the correct maps. (Roughness, Metalness) Also for base color it is called Diffuse. And it is a free download.

So I decided to copy the anvil and paste it into a new blender file and when I loaded it back in it showed. When dl the Metal corroded heavy I had chosen specular then I was completely lost of which one to choose. Then I decided to look into the comments and I found yours, and thanks to your advise I was able to get through this part of Andrews tutorial.

2:57 When I switched the Node Editor to World data, it was empty. It turned out - as with any material when using Cycles Render - you can do almost nothing to the surface material and see no properties of it until you activate node usage. There is a button in the Surface section of the World tab in the Properties pane, called Use Nodes. Click on it, and you’ll immediately see the nodes just like in the tutorial. Hope this helps somebody.

Couple tips for anyone reading: First: Switch to perspective mode (NUM 5) to see environment textures. You also need to click 'use nodes' in the properties panel > world before you can add them. Second: the linked textures are not the ones he's using, but they are free if you make an account. Third: the names are wonky. Here's what I found to be correct. COL: basecolor. METALNESS: metallic. ROUGHNESS: roughness. DISP: heightmap. and the bumpmap was created in an earlier video.

@UnauthorizedExpression 6 жыл бұрын

Great tut as always Andrew. I'd love to see a video on how to make albedo textures. I think they are images with all the lighting properties of a texture baked into the different channels of the image AND then a second texture for the diffuse and another for the normal map. I think that's how it works. Eve Online uses them and I have a program that extracts their models and textures. They look like no texture I've ever seen anywhere else, though I think it has become the new standard in video games.

@MegaVek 6 жыл бұрын

Albedo maps are just like diffuse maps, but without any additional light information baked in, so think of it as a neutral, flat color information of the object. Then you have Occlusion, normal, metallic, smoothness/roughness, emission, height, and whatever else you might want. The idea here is to pack as many of those maps into as few files as you can, so you can save on loading textures into memory, and then on texture lookups in the shader. So, if you have 1 file, you have 4 channels available for you (R, G, B, A), and what maps you put where depends entirely on your needs. so you can have RGB be color (albedo), A can then be transparency, or occlusion, or smoothness/roughness, or anything else entirely, like a map of how sticky the surface at this point should be to particles ( I don't know, I just made it up) So there's really no standard way of packing maps into textures - that entirely depends on what you need in your game, how your shaders are authored, and what your engine can do. Each channel in a texture is a map of values between 0 and 1, and how those values are used changes a lot. If you need transparency, you might use your albedo texture's A channel for that, if you don't, then you have a free spot for a greyscale map that you can use for something else. I don't know what EVE does these days, but they used to use a 3 texture system: texture 1 had albedo (color) information in RGB channels, and Roughness in the A channel, texture 2 had Normals (just two of the 3 directions actually) in G and A channels, and Occlusion in B while R was unused, and texture 3 had stuff like emission, dirt, and some other stuff packed in there.

@UnauthorizedExpression 6 жыл бұрын

Rafal, thanks for the info. Yeah I don't really know much about these kinds of images.

@MegaVek 6 жыл бұрын

Not a problem. One more thing, in case that isn't clear: The reason why those images look really weird sometimes, is just because whatever is in the R, G, and B channels, when you open the image, is interpreted as how much red, green and blue there should be. If whatever is in those channels has nothing to do with those colors and/or with one another , it's going to look weird. In Blender you can bake any map you want by just routing the nodes so that the output you want (for example, let's say stickiness) goes straight to a diffuse shader color, and then baking the Diffuse, selecting only the "Color" option. You end up with a (for example) greyscale image, that then you can put into whatever channel you want using Photoshop, or Gimp or some other software. I know it's a roundabout way of doing it, and there are other ways (such as baking directly glossiness, emission or some other mode if it's directly available in Blender) , but this was easy to explain briefly just to give an idea.

@888Manatsu 5 жыл бұрын

If you're having trouble using the .exr file for the environment texture (for me it was a solid color), then in Blender, on the bottom left, go to File>External Data, and pack it in Blender automatically (check the checkbox), and/or check for missing files in File>External Data. That did the trick for me.

I've been following the tutorials from the beginning of the donut tutorial, right through to this one, and enjoying them very much. this is the only tutorial of the entire series where I have been consistently lost. I think this is down to two things: 1) the textures from Poliigon simply do not align to the files that are used in the videos. I have tried multiple variations of "best guesses" in matching up the files I have to what are used, and I can't get the same effect. 2) Andrew is speeding through this tutorial and due to the tiny details of the nodes, some of it just isn't easily followed. I am getting dramatically different results than Andrew, and after watching the videos through several times and trying to follow, cannot seem to fix them. Frustrating.

To all people who are not able to see the rendered environment take it's effect immediately in latest blender version, after you have connected environment texture node , with the environment node selected or no node selected go to properties and enable "view as render" by checking the empty box.

If you want this setup even fast, add the new material with Principled BSDF shader, highlight that node, and with node wrangler enabled hit CTRL+SHIFT+T and select all the files used(color, metalness, roughness, normal/displacement) and node wrangler will set everything up for you. Just make sure the files are in the correct image texture node afterwards as the naming of the file can get things out of whack.

I am fairly new to blender, probably 2-3 weeks or so and i have been following your tutorial series, but the new blender has been released(2.8) and since upgrading it is basically a new program.. I am finding it very difficult to follow along (Also the files you have placed in the description do not match the ones in the video)....You have been a wonderful instructor/ teacher thus far. It would be nice for you to link some "updates" for some sections of the tutorial OR a new series.This may be a lot to ask.... annddd probably should've been emailed or something. Hope you see this and thanks again i really do appreciate it.. I will be putting this tutorial series on "pause" and try to find another one I can follow until this gets updated. Hope you see this. ( Im mainly interested in architectural scenes hopefully i have reached a place to follow along now)

@shamanik1320 6 жыл бұрын

What is the reason for using two normal maps? And what is the effect of a bump and normal map? And not related to this video but I've seen videos where people mentioning using a displacement texture and a normal map. If displacement makes real geometry, what is the reason for faking depth with shading? Am I missing a aspect of cg graphics? I'm a little confused on that topic specifically.

Ive been following along since the start of the donut series, and I really enjoy them. I started using blender approx 9 days ago, and about 7 days ago I started with the donut. There is a lot of info going in very quickly, and the risk is that something basic falls out when new stuff goes in ;) One of the more frustrating things is that the guide is so old that the blender version ui looks totally different many times. Right now I cant seem to figure out how to insert the reference image like Andrew does. I can just use a free floating reference image in my scene, but that isn't how he does it. Any tips?

would love for you to do a updated anvil tutorial after watching the donut and chair and the earth videos I have found this one to be the most helpful but also the most complicated and stressful mostly due to the fact I'm watching this 6 years later still its super helpful there's just a good amount of stuff that has changed making it progressively harder to follow with each video I spent two days trying to get the normal map to work and the sculpting to function in the same manner and now I cant find the HDRI's or the textures there's just a lot of functions that no longer work the same and the UI has changed quite a bit so it would be great to get a updated version of this tutorial

With the poliigon texture, if you think the metal is too corroded, try to actually scale down the textures instead of up, and put a math node with multiply by about 0.3 after the height texture node.

The transition between this tutorial and the perfect normals doesn't make much sense, at the end of the normals tutorial we were getting the principal shader and such and our normals map set up and suddenly the nodes for the anvil are gone on this one, almost as if this were to come before the other one, I'm so confused.

If your anvil texture looks like white stone with some red highlight etc: - simply change the color space from SRGB to LINEAR. This will put it much closer to andrews texture. - Also tick Clamp in the math node of the world for some hdri lighting likeness.

@anarchycypher Жыл бұрын

could you please explin the logic behind that for a noob

@Deehn Жыл бұрын

@@anarchycypher not that experienced either, simply a quick fix I found for the linear color ^^ so I can’t explain why exactly for this one. For the clamp, as I understand it, it limits the value range on the object to be between 0 & 1 meaning that while your hdri can be at 4.6 like he put his to get that extra light and brightness, if you tick clamp, the object will retain a maximum value of 1. The result is a brigher hdri and lights with an object that is not over-exposed. For instance, if you had a value of 0.8 for the hdri and you click clamp, nothing would change since 0.8 is already between 0 & 1. Hope that’s clear ;)

1. you should install add on on your blenders. 2. install the Poliigon converter on there (use rar file to activate installation, dont extract it). you can download it on here :help.poliigon.com/en/articles/2540839-poliigon-material-converter-addon-for-blender 3. Extract your Poliigon texture file and make the folder with this name: (the name did you wanna use)_COL_4K or (the name did you wanna use)_COL_3K 4. if done, click the object than load and apply the materials. problem solved maybe you can more easily to understand it with this video explanation. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9VlZbGCvLLNgJs.html
