Blenderart Special Project: Material Node set-up ‘Cookbook’

Posted on by

blenderartThe crew of Blenderart magazine is organizing a special project, about the Blender material node system. They want to create a material node set-up “cookbook”. If you have a cool node set-up, this may be your chance to publish a tutorial at Blenderart!

If you want to know more about the project, and learn how to submit a node set-up, visit this thread at the Blenderartists forums.

      That’s a great Idea! One can’t have enough documentation or tutorials.

      Very nice idea.
      Would also be good to have one for composite node setups.

      That wouldn’t be a problem. But I would need some help writing up descriptions/how to’s for compositing nodes as I haven’t yet used them.

      Yes, a compositioning node section would be excellent!

      Maybe a separate issue on compositing later? Anyway, I think this is a great idea.

      Fantastic idea.

      This is a great idea. How about requiring submitters to use a template .blend file? That would eliminate a lot of work on your part of having to “standardize” each submission. Maybe a setup similar to the CGSphere project with Suzanne as the main subject would work.

      Very good idea… This will be very, very precious… (To my big shame, I still don’t use much the nodes)

      I wish I had something to add, but I’m just discovering the power of nodes myself. This is an excellent idea for those of us who are rather ambiguous about nodes. Looking forward to it.

      I’m not really an expert, but I’d be more happy to contribute to a (future) compositing nodes article.

      ack! use the blender wiki!! and make it a project @ wiki.blender.org

      maybe use en.wikiversity.org and make it a research/learning project

      wikis are so dynamic it would be so flexible!

      Haha! That’s so awesome. I wish I had that kind of time and knowledge of making
      molds from Blender and legos for chocolate creations.
