5 Awesome Procedural Texturing Tricks in Blender

In this tutorial I'll show you 5 awesome procedural texturing tricks that'll really come in handy for various situations. These tricks include rounding off tile corners, using linear light to distort textures without moving them out of place, directional and full blur effects for any texture node, and how to automatically round off angular beveled edges.

Awesome video, you cannot go wrong when buying CG Masters courses, I starting buying there courses sense there Chevrolet Camaro courses and ever sense I learn so much buying there courses, definitely recommend it. 👍

oh my gosh, THANK YOU! the normal/displacement sharpness was killing me and I had no idea it was because of the linear step, you saved me from insanity with that last tip! And I never knew about using uvs to distort textures either, that's super handy as well.

I've been looking for a way to blur images in nodes forever. Greatly appreciated

[JaredOwen]

Great tips! I'll check out your course

[therpglario]

Fantastic video, ive been texturing for years and trying to improve in my spare time and this helped with an issue I was having with textures feeling flat. You deserve more subs

[alexmcfly]

I have literally no idea what you are talking about and yet it's still amazing

[MarkBTomlinson]

This is the best explaination of dither bluring I have seen, well done!

[linkedwinters]

Neat little optical illusion on those tiles, I can see green circles hahah

[paulbirkpowlly]

This course will be my Christmas present to me, thanks CG Masters and friends.

Already loving the blender encyclopedia by you, once I finished that, I'll have to check out this one as well!

Watched 10 seconds and it was enough to make me subscribe!

[amyshaw]

That smooth minimum might just save my life

[thomasleemans]

Wow this is very good tricks. Very well explained :D. Thanks for this good video

[rdyin]

That dithering trick works preety well while rendering volumes with eevee... but it requires a lot of samples to get clean results..

[ShortyD]

cant wait to sign up next month for the course :D

[pimikameaw]

You're a god, tysm for this <3

[guilhermerizzo]

Chris Plush is a great instructor!
I have done the Corvette tutorial as my second one (just after the Blender Guru's donut)... I will for sure buy this course on procedural materials!

I hadn't thought of blurring textures with a white noise texture, that's really smart! If only there was an actual blur node that could sufficiently smooth out hard edges

[JPJosefPictures]

Very nice video! Thank you for posting! :D

[benjaminroman]

Thanks for sharing these tips, the white noise bluring is working great, I think I'll try to add blur pattenrs in it !
I'd like to add that actually the mix blending mode is totally fine for distortion as long as the distortion values are centered around 0, so to make a distortion with a noise texture and a mixrgb you only have to add a -0.5 vector math node just before the mix. Both techniques are working perfectly fine though.
