That first Voronoi tile-breaking trick is so simple and quick yet so clever! Really nice to see people come up with neat little tricks like these

[ChippWalters]

That voronoi trick is special. Thanks for sharing.

[blenderdiscord]

The video contains some incredibly underrated information, particularly the use of the voronoi texture to break up seamless repetition and the change in texture based on distance.

[phischphood]

I like to add a bit of noise to the dirt / ambient occlusion, if you don't then you get a very uniform edge which looks a bit fake. You can also use it with a mix node and a mould/moss pbr texture for added interest

[fabriziolorito]

Super video. After several years using Blender I couldn't imagine to meet such simple and effective solutions to common problems!

[rileybd]

Just wanted to let you know I’m about two minutes into the video and my mind is already blown. I’ve seen a lot of different breakup methods in blender over the years, but I’ve never thought to use a single node.

[cekuhnen]

The bevel for self intersecting geometry tip is great!

[raskzak]

that were the most useful 14 minutes of my day, those are great tips, I would love to see more videos like this

[MrWoundedalien]

Amazing! I need to start using that bevel node, and good tip to join the objects if they aren't already! I like the dirt too. I tried that before on my own and it turned out meh. Gonna make me that node to use! Thanks for your knowledge!

[lizoozil]

This tutorial taught me a lot of useful skills. thank you for your teaching.

[arjanrobert]

Wait wait wait The beveled normal on the intersecting geometry. What kind of sorcery is this 😮

[Saas_]

Please do a second one of these if you find more tips. I feel like this have just been the most useful 14 minutes I ever spent watching a blender tutorial. I'll apply these concepts to all of my materials from now on, be it in Blender or game engines :)

[aliebrahim]

Ok done, bought both of your courses, gotta take it to the next level

[h]

This was really helpful, especially the method for blending two material borders

[Myzelfa]

Wow, I've done a lot of experiments with plugging texture nodes into vectors, but I never hit on that setup. Brilliant

[skypc]

i would say all the tricks are really helpful to achieve realism.
Thank you for this tutorial.
I need more tutorial like this

[johan]

great tips, i saw the voronoi trick recently from Ryan King Art but the others i didnt know!

[unit]

The seamless merging trick is incredible. Sharp corners always drove me crazy

[ollied]

Great tips. I was wondering if there is a geometry nodes or grease pencil method of putting dust in corners for the whole scene at once
