Blender 4.3 Deep Dive: Exploring Diffuse Roughness & Physical Conductor
In this video, we explore two new render features in Blender 4.3 dealing with improved physical accuracy. This is the new Oren-Nayar Diffuse Roughness slider in the Principled BSDF; and the new Metallic BSDF node that has a new Physical Conductor option for laboratory measured reflectance data of metals. Here's a link to many physical metals using the Metallic BSDF in Physical Conductor mode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jnEwtAzEyUQi3dvL8K26thMqqazolD9s/view?usp=sharing Support this channel's efforts to produce high quality content for the Blender community with a one time donation: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/T9T49LELSXL6A Support this channel: patreon.com/Christopher3D 00:00 Introduction 01:18 Energy conservation & preservation 02:00 Oren-Nayar diffuse roughness 03:44 Diffuse BSDF node in 4.2 vs 4.3 05:08 Basic diffuse roughness examples 10:56 Part II, Metallic BSDF & Physical Conductor 11:12 Basics of metals 12:28 F82 Tint mode 13:29 Physical Conductor mode
