I've been trying to understand these things for a while, at last, a decent tutorial which clarifies things

[AshaBaasha]

This video is pretty much unique. Great Job :x Not even my Professors could teach me that so simple.

I've been looking for an explanation about textures and this is the best I've found!

[P.Gillett]

an amazing high level explanation, I would love to see more of these for other aspects of blender

[andersdenkend]

Great video. Simple and understandable explanation with good examples.

[fred.b]

Yes! Another video on how to use nodes for textures!

[TheFlyJunky]

one of the highest quality blender tutorial channels out there. great work keep it up!

[TheRedeyes]

This was so well done. Thank you, helps a lot.

Do "How to paint PBR textures" next!

[rayoli]

finally understood about the difference between materials and textures thanks :)

[shamanik]

With your textures combined, I am Captain Material!

So glad you've made all this stuff. As someone who ONLY uses 2.77 Blender I appreciate you. It's hard finding tutorials, everything is brand new version of blender. However I refuse trying to learn the new blender cause it feels so weird, all the controls, etc.

Grant, you are a great pedagogue (you don't forget to explain the what and why, each time), and in that, you're pretty unique in the blender tutorial community.

Thanks Grant, great video as ever concise and to the point. Could you please produce a video explaining the link between texture baking size ie. 1024x1024, the samples setting and the final output resolution. If baking complex procedural textures to speed up render times. There seems to be a lack of tutorials covering this. Would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers 😀

Just what I need. Attempting some Jade buttons.

[NebraskaJimmy]

Awesome very straight forward and to the point thank you so much hope you make Amsterdam in the fall

[Verywamermen]

You really know how to explain a thing!!
Thank you!!

Great video Grant. For a long time I thought PBR meant the lighting was baked into the textures - you often seen this in 3D model websites where they'll say it's a PBR textured model and actually it has the lighting baked into it (making it useless whenever I've needed it) - so it's a misnomer?

[JezzGT]

Really interesting as a beginner, thank you!

[joetylerdale]

If I hang around you long enough, I just might pick up on some of this. Thank you!
