Get Specular reflections from IOR
The official Blender documentation provides a method to get the “Specular” value for the PBR-material reflections if the “IOR” value is known. To get the “Specular” value from the “IOR” value, we can use the following equation:
It is not difficult to create it with nodes:
EEVEE Shadow Catcher
There is a convenient opportunity in the Cycles render engine to render an object with shadows on a transparent background using material with the “shadow catcher” option. There is no such material in EEVEE render engine, however, in EEVEE we can make our own “shadow catcher” based only on nodes.
Completed “EEVEE Shadow Catcher” material you can get from the BIS library.
Bloom effect in EEVEE on transparent background
The “Bloom” effect in the EEVEE rendering engine looks very impressive but does not visible when rendering on a transparent background.
But this can be fixed.
How to render only the object’s shadow in Eevee
To render only the shadow of the object in Blender Eevee:
- Assign to the object the default material with the Principled BSDF shader and set its Alpha value to 0.
- In material properties switch the Blend Mode to “Additive” or “Alpha Clip”.
Procedural gradients
Except for the “Gradient Texture” node, we can obtain a gradient factor by using some simple equations. Look for the mathematics with a spherical gradient sample.
- Uniform gradient
Can be created based on a downward-facing cone equation.
