Materials Deep Dive with Blender (Skillshare)

Have you ever wondered how to make your models look more realistic? The key is usually that the model looks unrealistically perfect. Real-life things have wear and tear on them. That's where this class comes in. You're going to take a deep dive into learning how to use procedurally generated materials for rust and wear. By Procedurally, we mean that it's all created within blender without using externally taken photographs.

Specifically, we're going to use Blender's noise generator (which is a Perlin noise generator) to do this. If that sounds like Greek to you, don't worry I explain everything in this class.
In this class, the students will learn everything they need to know to use the noise texture node in the material shader in Blender.
In this course, you're going to create rust and wear on a sphere. We're going to touch a lot of different aspects of Blender materials and Blender's node editor. By the end of the course, you'll be able to add rust, scuffs, and scratches to any material you like. This is not a complete beginner course, some rudimentary knowledge of Blender is useful, but if your patient with yourself you should be able to follow along even if you're new to the software.
