TIPS & TRICKS: Krita, procedural planks and adding IES lights to make your renders more realistic!
I love Blender...
I think I have made that pretty clear in the last 22 videos. But I also love Krita, a free open source painting application that some amazing tools in it.
So today we're starting with a a very quick fix of Krita, where I show you how to use it to make a texture tile using the wrap-around feature and a clone brush. Like Photoshop, but the tools got there first in Krita!

Unsplash is a free-to-use, attribution required website that allows photographers to get there photos out in the world so people can use them on projects for free. It's superb.

Following this we load this into Blender and add it to the floor shader and go through the motions of making a plank shader procedurally, albeit with a texture to work with first.
Lastly we get to talk about IES lights. These are mathematical models of actual lights, giving accurate falloffs and light looks perfect for Archvis work.
For a massive amount of IES profiles, go to:
