Blender materials and rendering tutorial, introducing material allocation, shaders and nodes, rendering still images, setting the background, and rendering animations. This video follows on from my episode “Blender Modeling Introduction”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsufneMOvWA The Blender Principled BSDF shader web page is here: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/shader_nodes/shader/principled.html Blender can be freely downloaded from: https://www.blender.org/ You can also obtain the free GIMP photo editor from: https://www.gimp.org/ And the free DaVinci Resolve video editor from: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve Note that I have several DaVinci Resolve videos, most recently including this review of DaVinci Resolve 18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyzO2MTKwY0 In this video, I used the following Blender keyboard shortcuts: Render -- F12 Maximize area -- Ctrl-spacebar Toggle wireframe display -- Shift-z Duplicate object -- Shift-d After duplicating an object, press x, y or z to constrain movement to that axis. View select -- press the key below Esc (which is the tilde on a US keyboard). Insert keyframe in the timeline -- press i To scroll a menu bar, press the mouse wheel (middle mouse button) and drag.
