Hi, I'm SouthernShotty and I endorse this message.

So good, I thought I was stuck with unrealistic emitters or insane noise from running an emitter through a glass material. Thanks for this!

I always forget useful nodes like layer weight exist sometimes. Thanks ducky. That was really really helpful 😊

2:10 _"Now Layer Weight is my favorite way of adding detail into your materials"_ I knew it, I just knew it that there's someone who is doing stuff to my materials while I'm not there to watch over them. Now I finally found out who's that someone. Layer Weight? Lawyer wait? P.S. Thank you for another great tutorial. Cheers.

This is actually amazing. I have worked with Blender3D for a long time now, but you still show me things about Blender I did not know yet. Great job

Layer weight is so underrated! Allows for a ton of subtle details and shifts in color/texture while all staying inside the same texture tree. Great tutorial! Definitely will include some neon/glass in my work from here on out :D

I cannot tell you how incredibly CLUTCH this tip is. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to get nice detailed results using emission and this video completely solved the issue. Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you haha

Dropped this right when I was looking for a solution to flat-looking emissions on my logo. Thank you!

I’m glad you made this tutorial Ducky. I made some emission materials in Blender years ago, and I always thought it looked flat - you couldn’t see details of the object through the emission. Being a Transformers fan, I made an Energon cube in Blender. Because of the flatness, I put in some edge loops and another emission material with a slightly different color on that model.

This is crazy it's like you knew what I been struggling with 🤣🤣 trying out blender there's a lot of times I wanted to use emission but when I did it would always look boring and flat I knew it needed something! can't wait to try this out

Great little video. Always handy to find out about these nodes

This is great! Run the layer weight into a MixRGB node, hook up a blackbody node on the top slot and black on the bottom and you can get away from the "neon" vibe of things.

i clicked so fast i don’t even know what i’m bout to watch XD

This is the best type of tip! Simple and effective!

Great tutorial! This really helps a lot to make things look much more realistic. 👍

leveling up my materials knowledge with your videos, thanks man!

Used to do something similar by using emission as principled volume on spherical lights/ tubelights but those were awfully noisy (since volumetrics are costly) this is something way better and quick thanks Ducky !

This is awesome tutorial. That's the thing that I was missing in my projects. Thank you so much^^

Fantastic little tip, thank you

This is perfect for making Diffused Lighting. Thanks Ducky. :)

ThNk you so much ducky! This is just what I needed for my project

Just what I was after...great advice and content as always...thank you

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing it.

Very helpful tips thanks!

You can also get some better control over the blend on the layer weight by plugging in a Map Range node, set as From Min - 0, From Max - 10, To Min - 0.9, To Max 1. From there you can adjust the Value on the Map Range node. What is interesting here is that the higher blend values (less light) will cause the emission to take patterns from the faces, just as an actual glass sconce would.

Superb! This is what I've been looking for.

Thank you Ducky!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks ducky! Really helpful.

Thanks for the later weight!

Just what i needed, thanks!

Right on time!! Thank you

I learned something here. Thanks man!

Seriously Thank you! This is one I needed

Ooh what a wonderful video, loved it

Great tip, thanks!!

I don't even use Blender but this is a trick I can easily see myself using in my renders!! Nice

Nice Lightsaber / Fluorescent Tube Shader Tutorial :) .. Thanks!

Super useful, thanks for sharing

Awesome!! Thank you so much!

Nice topic to cover, and a great way yo do it.

Thank you. super program!

Thanks for this. 👍

Very helpful tips thanks

Pretty neat! I'm wondering would you be able to show how to make some glowing outside pots with plants, like nowodvorski outdoor pot?

This. Is. AWESOME!

@Ducky 3D I have learning alot from you channel and I saw all of the tutorials and I like them and I have learned alot from you I said to myself if I want a career I have to begin that is why I decide to open my KZfaq channel and begin making video I would be happy to get all the feedback from all of you thanks again for all these beautiful tutorials and I hope you have a great day

Thank you for this!! :)

Thank you!

Amazing, even though it was small detail.

keep up the good workGood job.

The fresnel/layer weight method is NOT good unless you are showing the emissive cylinders from a flat, front-on perspective. Fresnel works based off the camera position in relation to the geometry.

i’m definitely getting that realtime shaders,

Love your intro

thank you so much

love this

Muchisimas gracias

The Color Ramp node would be the most important thing that happened to Blender's shader editor, like... ever. Yes, I still remember about Principled BSDF. :D

Thank you! I also like to know how you create the haze around the glowing text?

Brilliant as always. Can you make a tutorial on how to light low light scene in Cycles with bulbs or any other way... like a bar with no windows? I tried doing something... where the entire place is enclosed and only lit with bulbs... but it doesn't feel right... I know I am missing something, but I am not able to place it. It's just not feeling... "atmospheric" to make it look real, if you know what I mean.

Nice tip, but it works for static camera, when you look from up or down emissive surface is changing on tubes

Tutorial starts 1:40

Getting close.. now if you can make it work with converters like Color Temperature and Wavelength, we can make things like heating elements very realistic.

Better off using a grayscale gradient map multiplied with a blackbody node set to 2700-3000 for most household decorative lighting. Lookup what's a common lower limit in the area; here it is 2700, some countries further south use 3000. That facing trick on tubes works fine looking straight at it, but may not work as good as expected when looking from other angles. I might use it in a scene if it fits, but not as a reusable asset.

Works best when the material is facing you directly tho, if you had the first example at an angle it would fade the further away it gets

OK, this is cool and all, but what really matters is, what font is that text tho?

GOOD!!!:-)

works gj

need the ground shader for this

This is the second time I ask. Is the motiong graphic course for Evee or Cycles?

hey man! im on the free version of soft soft and the plugins list on the left side of the screen is not showing up and i can not bring it up.

Me: it might be a model inside a glass, ez The video: its a whole texture, not a model inside a glass Oof

how would I use this on a bulb that is circular or spherical like a ring light ?

THANK YOU!!!!! When is the end of 50% off? still trying to save some money.

ao is also useful

Can you make a tutorial how to make old camera screens glitches and noise in blender? Please I need for my FNAF animations

Great. Im struggeling with the glarenode. If i have some values that i want to glow with fogglow there is always some values like shiny material that also get affected. Is there a way to limit the glow effect in cycles to only the colors you want to effect. Example red lights in a scene with some strong shine on some corners.

What HDRI do you use?

Hmmm, showing three different methods? Number one and three are both using the Layer Weight node on the emission, the first on emission in the Principled BSDF and the third on the standard Emission shader. Technically regarding the emission that's just one and the same method 😉 Of course you have the glass effect on the first objects, but usually I would do that on the spheres in the end as well... if I would go for realism, because glowing spheres cannot consist of "emission" alone. If I don't care for realism I wouldn't need the glass effect on the tubes at the beginning either. But nevertheless, although sounding negative I like the video, these are the kind of little details that usually help me a lot, too.

I feel the title is wrong, this is a good way to fake a translucent material with an emissive material inside, but the emissive material is correct (it does flatten out as 2D in pictures), you are just using it incorrectly if you expect to put that on a shade instead of on the emissive object like a filament.

Is the first project file available on Patreon?

What's the name of the font used for the text?

How do I make a floor like that!? I’ve been trying for days now to make or look for something that can give me a deep, dark, black floor whilst looking slightly wet that doesn’t look grey and flat against a warehouse style room with white walls and a huge ceiling light

how do you make emission material in blender?

maybe its super simple and I just missed it, but cant figure out where to change the strength of the emission, any help?

Hello Ducky, I have one question I don't have an emission strength option in my Principled BSDF, do you know the solution to this. Thanks in advance.

The first part only works at a fixed head on angle.... notice how the viewport is never rotated

Intro!!!!!

short variant of all video : " there is Layer_Weight node exist" the end.

Beans 247 facts

Can you make a tutorial on applying textures to models you bought? I just bought a crapload of palm tree models on BF and of course they aren't textured at all. Some of the models have 80 texture maps and I'm losing my mind. I don't know what to do. There's gotta be a better way???!

The Color-Ramp/Layer Weight thingy didn't work for me because i had a 2D Form as a light-plane, basically i wanted the glow fade out around the edges, but i guess that'S quite more complicated

name font pls..

Please bring more NFT materials ,

Blender can do anything, you just have to know how to achieve it

Most likely than not, lights are going to be(E) place in an angle in relation to the camera, which makes this shader using Facing/Fresnel, aside from the use case shown, completely useless. Dunno where all this positive feedback is coming from.

Is it cycles ? My pc is crying for help ! 😢😢😢

Im the 1000th person to like this lol

I wonder when you not be forced to fake effects in cycles cause it fuck up caustics this much.....

First

lightings easy for cycles but emission for evee still nothing. people are making animation not only photos like you. so blender has to improve evee part too.
