Have you ever wanted to be able to make your own materials from scratch or composite your renders so they stand out but were always overwhelmed by nodes? Well no problem!In this course we will learn every single node and ALL of their options. Not only will we learn what each node does but how to use it practically for materials or compositing.

What is covered in this course

In this course we will cover ALL shader nodes and ALLcompositing nodes. If you are not familiar with nodes at all, no worries as we will cover everything from the beginning! This course is best done in order as each video builds on the last but if you want to learn a particular node for a project you are working on you can just search for a node as we go over one node per video and each node can be learned independently from other videos! With every node that we learn, we will use it in a practical way to create a material or composition!
