Nodevember 2020

“Nodevember 2020” – the next challenge is coming from November 1 to 30  for amateurs and fans of procedural (node-) modeling and creation. The rules of the challenge are very simple – each participant creates one procedural material/object on a given topic each day with Blender exclusively using nodes. You can create whatever you want – models, meshes, materials, shaders, and even music, as long as they are procedural. Next, publish your created object on social networks with the #nodevember hashtag.

But if you need to use these transparency blending modes in Blender 2.83, you can get them with nodes.

Global materials override for the Blender EEVEE render engine

Some times we need to make a render of the scene with the single material, for example, for clay or wireframe renders. Blender has the global materials override option for the Cycles render engine in the “View Layer Properties” – “Override” but not for the EEVEE render engine.

Quick materials override for the EEVEE rendering engine can be made with a small script, as shown in the following video:

Texture pixelization

The simplest way to pixelate texture, procedural or not – get the color from the single pixel and fill the region with required width and height (resolution) with this color.

Here is the gradient texture with red – green – blue colors:

To pixelate it with the first step of resolution we can make some vectors manipulations.
