Blender PBR Material Shading (Material Series Part 2)

This Blender tutorial is all about PBR textures and PBR materials in Blender. I'll show you where to download free PBR materials, how to set up material nodes in the Blender node editor, some node wrangler shortcuts and more. In Cycles, PBR materials provide the most realistic renders for Blender. The nodes can be confusing, but I'm going to explain PBR materials in Blender for absolute beginners.

It's surprising how few people have watched such a great video; it really covers everything comprehensively. Thanks, Brandon!

hi from 2024, thank you for this amazing series of video about nodes ! I'm starting my adventure in 3D also I never comment that often but i must say it really motivated me ;) This video clearly deserves more views, I wanna see it rise in 2024

I have been working with Blender for over a year and a half. You gave me a better understanding of PBR Material Shading in this video. Thanks for sharing.

The Shader in Blender was a complete mystery to me until I viewed both of your material series videos. It has given me enough understanding to start playing with the Shader. Thank you very much, Brandon.

[AhmedHan]

I don't know which one to admire more. Blender's features or how you explain them.

[shaunrichardson-wvoh]

Came to say a massive thanks, like most of the other people here. These videos were an amazing help, I don’t know why most tutorials ‘gloss’ over most of this information.

[Solarz_vr]

This series is amazing, it will help me so so much when texturing, a monster, or map for my unity games.

[MrKiraBR]

Just watched part 1, it was amazing...now part 2. Again, thank you so much!

[angry]

It helped a lot
Thank you so much for making this kind of video for free

[rasmusgredeskog]

These videos have been such a lifesaver for me! Thank you so much!

[abv]

Thanks for saving CTRL Shift T to the end. Going through by hand gave me a better grasp of how the various setting influence the whole. Your explanations are precise and clear. Big thumbs up!

[Johnnyj]

Great video, short, concise, good pacing, no filler, examples of uses and it just makes sense.

[CeceMelchor]

OMG THIS HELPS SO MUCH. I've been thinking UV stood for something related ultra Violet (or some weird alpha channel thing that no one talked about) not simply a U and V coordinate plane.... I feel so dumb, but also so relieved because after a couple weeks of playing around it completely makes sense.
