Creating good materials doesn’t have to be too complicated, but it also isn’t a topic to breeze past because, if it’s done wrong, it can make a render look fake or boring.
I’ve seen hundreds of exercise submissions for the Fundamentals of Materials and Shading course and many more beginner renders from my time as a teacher, and to be honest, I can sometimes copy and paste feedback because so many people miss the exact same things. So, in this video, I’ll show you what mistakes to avoid so that even if you are a beginner, you can improve your renders right away.
