3D Artists, let’s start the week with this new tutorial, on how to create simple and beautiful materials with the Principled shader in Blender. In this video, we will take a shoe model made from the past tutorial “Concept Shoe Modeling in Blender“, a tutorial where we saw how to model a shoe, a tutorial released by Derek Elliott.
