Procedural Shading: Fundamentals and Beyond

Procedural shading is one of the less explored applications of Blender that holds a lot of potential and power if utilized correctly. In this comprehensive training series we will build a solid foundation of the concepts and techniques that we will use to thoroughly explore procedural shading with Blender's node-based shader editor.

The core part of this course is structured in a series of short 5-10 min videos that focus on important concepts and techniques and are supported by visualization tools and simple examples. Supporting the course as a showcase example is an isometric cube scene that is created using exclusively procedural shaders and only basic modelling techniques.
