THIS VIDEO IS A LIFE SAVER! I'm new to Blender. I have a lot of gratitude. been struggling for 4 hours trying to understand Blender's material basics.

[heints]

You go through the information quickly, without wasting time, but very thoroughly. I appreciate your work.

[doodledoocg]

i thought i allready knew a lot about materials, this tutorial is 10 out of 10

[murnoth]

Thank you for your insight! Learning this stuff hasn't been so intuitive for me, as there are so many tabs, windows and options, but this really helps

[MoctorDac]

lovely rundown of how blender handles materials, as someone coming from maya I absolutely love tutorials like these, a lot more digestable than digging through forums and documentation :^)

[bestmomentchannel]

You are a good teacher. Thanks for the video. You are my first teacher to teach nodes for create texture and material . Thank you very much.

[axisd]

Great tutorial. Thanks for the explanation of the fake user and how you would use it for materials.

[kennmacintosh]

Thank you for the 1440 HD version.
That alone deserves 5 thumbs up!

I just got dual 4K monitors.

This is the best Material Intro Tutorial ever

[gayatribongarala]

Thank you so much for teaching how to drag and drop material on object, i was struggling to find that option. @2:39 you are my savior !!

[rodjohnson]

Very well done tutorial! Everything demonstrated was thoroughly explained, and I like how different ways of doing the same thing are shown. Otherwise, someone might use the same method all the time, when there are instances where another method might be a better option. This video was enough to get me to subscribe, now I'm curious to see what else is offered on the channel.

[IndulaMeegodaAssociates]

Everything is very clear! Thank you very much!❤

[cofiecoffcoff]

this was very helpful, now I understand the interface! Thank you so much!

[timedriverable]

Nicely like that if you go into wire mode on your object or cube you can do more complex colors that have been subdivided into alot more faces.

[kwalsk]

Bro thank you for this wonderfully clear video.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS RYAN!!! I'm using several of your videos to create a female character named Sara for a book I'm writing. Now I know how to add color to Sara's lips and fingernails after having added her skin color. of I think I'm going to shout you out in the acknowledgements of my book... Once I publish it, that is! Anywho... Thank you for these tutorials!

[Tiki_Media]

Thank you! You clarified a number of confusing interface things. I now feel like I have more control over my materials.
I always wondered: Is there a way of cleaning up unused materials in a Blender file, rather than saving and reopening the file?

[Carlos-dixj]

Love your tutorials, they're way too easy to understand. Could you make a tutorial to improve fps on viewport animations? I got this problem that plays animations at 2 fps and is kinda difficult to see how is it going

[smcfadden]

Yes this lol ive watched hours and hours of videos for you to show me in the first 10 seconds why my materials were not visible thank you great video

[DarkNoggin]

Excellent tutorial, thank you so much! I just received my first Maya "Engineering" file of a vehicle for a client, and I've never had to organize soooo many meshes and materials before (prepping for car rigging) and this was a huge help!! Any other tips you can offer on optimizing a mesh in my case? Even on a RTX4090 this 7GB FBX file from the manufacturer is HEAVY. lol I'm trying to learn more about mesh optimization for making this engineering model into a media-ready asset. I primarily do previs and concept art- so this is a first for managing HUGE meshes like this. THANKS again!
