Introduction to materials and procedural shaders in blender

Requirements

• blender 2.8 and above
• just basic understanding of the blender interface

every model, every render you make will fill incomplete with out materials, after all have you ever seen any object in real like without materials.

this is going to be a continuing series as blender keeps on changing so should the training materials and thats what this will be, i will constantly update the course material where necessary or on your request, especially because i made this course because it was constantly requested on my live streams.
