Quick erratum: In this video, I wrongly said that displacement only fakes surface relief where, in actuality, it does auto-modify your mesh and increase its geometry a bit. So although it makes for a very realistic result, it can also be more costly than playing with normal or bump maps.
Sorry for the confusion! :)

Great Tutorial !! Results were a bit different for me working in 4.1.1!!! Did not get the same shade...trying to tweak to achieve same results.

You might want to edit this to mention what version of blender you are using. Transparency works fundamentally different in 4.0 onward (since the old method was kind of a hack).

Good point! I've updated the title+description with this info, and I'll be sure to include it in the follow-up videos - thanks a lot for pointing this out :)

yes is true -_-

[@neerajbhatt3368]

Same point with me too!!
