Learn the BASICS of Material Shading in BLENDER (Part 1)

Blender Material Texture Shading Introduction Tutorial: Blender material nodes are used for material shading. They can be confusing, so this is a basic Blender materials tutorial for absolute beginners. We will cover adding materials to objects, the Principled BSDF shader, the Color Ramp, mix shaders, transparent materials and more. I have some Blender shading tips at the end of the video that will save you time. In part two, I'm going to cover PBR materials in Blender which are photorealistic texture materials you can add to objects. Materials are what make an object in Blender look the way they do. Blender materials have three channels: surface, volume and displacement. Using a variety of nodes, you can mix and match textures and map your materials to your object. Before you start watching other Blender tutorials on material shading, watch this so you understand the basics. THANK YOU! These are some of my FAVORITE products related to Blender and digital art.
