Making a procedural zipper shader
Hans Chiu shared a stream about making a procedural animated zipper material.
Nodevember
Nodevember is a monthly challenge you invited to make procedural objects for Blender every day. It can be a material, a shader, an object, anything, if only it would be procedural. “If you can call it nodes, you can call it Nodevember!”

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:
Circuit board
Radial Lightning
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.

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.

OpenGl – DirectX norma map converter node group in Blender
Normal maps are usually saved in one of the two most common formats: OpenGL or DirectX. Blender uses OpenGL specification. Trying to use normal maps saved in another format will result in the wrong visual effect. To convert normal maps to the desired format the “OpenGL – DirectX Normal Map Converter” node group from the BIS material library can be used.
The samples of use:
