Сreating a donut and a cup of coffee onlys with shader nodes timelaps
Detailed time-lapse about creating a procedural cup of coffee with a donut in Blender using the only Shader Editor nodes. The three-dimensionality of objects is achieved through the use of vector displacement.

A shader pack by Erindale Woodford from the Nodevember 2020 event
Erindale Woodford, the creator of very complex and advanced shaders, has released all of his shaders from the Nodevember 2020 event.
A pack of 30 shaders can be downloaded from Gumroad.
All shaders are available for free for personal and commercial use.

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.

How to get the render pixels coordinates in compositing
When fine-tuning the finished render in “Compositing”, sometimes it is necessary to refer to the pixels coordinates of the processed image, for example, to apply effects distributed over the entire width or height of the image.
We can get the distribution factor of coordinates along with the height or width of the rendered image using texture nodes.

How to show all available nodes
We can get a list of all available shader nodes by their type.
To start, add any object to the scene, for example, a cube, create material for it, and delete all nodes. Here, in this material, we will display all the shader nodes available in Blender.
Blender EEVEE transparency blend modes – Multiply and Additive
In Blender 2.83 in the EEVEE render engine the “Additive” and “Multiply” modes that were present in Blender 2.80 were removed from the possible transparency blending modes.
But if you need to use these transparency blending modes in Blender 2.83, you can get them with nodes.
