I remember making a commitment right then and there that I was going to learn how to use this software “Blender” until I could make my own car. I went to a few sites before stumbling upon , and saw this render: So I went online and searched for “free 3d software”.

The goal of this site is to help you understand Blender, and create amazing results you can be proud of. I have also updated the information to incluse a preview of the material i am experiemnting with.I started using Blender in 2004, as a hobby but now use it everyday, creating explosions, space ships and other cool stuff as my day job 🙂 Using Blender 3.4.1 and Blender 3.5īelow is a screen shot of my node setup after appending the node group form Blender Guru's file( link is further down below)īlender Guru's file which can be downloded from linked here below:Īm not sure if i missed as step or something need to be done to the respective mesh to get the puddles to show.
