Blender is not great at converting so there will need to be manual changes, the smoother the faces the easier it will be

It basically stores the images (texture) locally within the blender project instead of relying on grabbing the pictures from the file they are stored in, as this link can be broken if they are moved or the file is (images or the blender project), but embedding them means that the link will always be there as it knows that they are in the blender file. Hope this makes sense and helps you understand what its doing.

Yes I'm working on an update. In the mean time a work around I've suggested is downloading an older version of blender and then opening it up in a newer version once done. Working hard at trying to get the video out but difficult to do so with my full time job

@@AaronPalmer yeah no pressure dude thanks for the videos. It kinda sucks when the blender team moves little things around like that, but I guess it's necessary.

Glad I could help

Go into edit mode and right click and then select subdivide

I am a maya user in maya it looks ok. But it’s a blender project that I working on it looks dark in the eye

Which render engine are you using? Eevee or cycles?

Thanks you for subbing

You can mirror the object then apply the modifier and then make the changes to one side

You're very welcome!

Glad I could help. I’ve lost hours of work, I know the feeling.

I apologise that you feel that way. What would you suggest I do differently to help make it easier to follow. If you provide valid criticism I’ll be able to build upon that so I can help you rather than make you feel this negatively.

@@AaronPalmer I do like this tutorial, but it was a bit hard to follow. I think the problem for me was that you showed a finished product, with all the nodes and values already setup. This can only help people make the same exact thing you made. I think it may be more helpful if we got to see the node setup being built from scratch, with explanations about what advantage certain nodes give, what look we are aiming to achieve, what problems we may face, and how to solve them.

@@NekoSamaIru Thanks for the constructive help. I will keep that in mind for future videos.

You could theoretically create the quad sphere and delete the bottom half, then extrude the edge down to create your cylinder shape.

@@AaronPalmer but if I make like a curvy pipe out of different sizes of its rings where it doesn’t involve the half of a sphere like modeling a nose with a sphere tip.

I will have a look for you over the next week and make it a priority to release an updated video on this. I will reply to your message again when I have completed such video. It can be difficult when blender make big changes like this. Sorry for any inconvenience

@@AaronPalmer all good thank you so much!

@@sneilson11 apologies i have been really busy over this past few weeks. I had an idea, could you download an older version of blender (so version 3) and make the material in there, then save the file an open it in the new version of blender

Don’t worry give me 20 years and I’ll finally have something impressive to show on my channel

@@AaronPalmer be seeing you then dude wish you goodluck and health

Apologies this video is likely no longer true for the new version of blender. I will look at updating the videos so that it’s no longer the case

@@AaronPalmer It still works for me on the newest version, thank you !

Glad it worked out. Im planning on releasing more Star Wars Models eventually (LAAT Variants) so keep creating!

Sorry for the late reply. I think you can make them bigger but it requires to have cycles on not eevee. Go into the material tab and go into the settings>surface and then change the displacement to displacement only. I think you then need to subdivide the object. Sorry if I’m wrong but I hope this helps

@@AaronPalmer aaah thank you very much for the help! I'm doing NPR shaders so i am limited to eevee but i'll try and find if i can work around it. Thank you for making practically the only youtube tutorial for procedural metal plating!

Sorry for the extremely late reply. This is meant to happen if I’m correct and by adding scratches and dirt/grunge you are able to help it look visible.

You'll see it in Iray render.

@@I3ra i appreciate that you took your time to help people out when i was unable to. Thanks

You're welcome!!

And helpful :)
