PPS: If you're looking for a crazy in-depth book that covers absolutely everything to do with Cycles, check out BlenderDiplom's Cycles Encyclopedia. Blender Guru is looking for new authors!

I hope you have a clearer understanding of what Cycles Shaders do now. adding red, green and blue glass shaders to create dispersion. Where you know for sure that energy is being conserved - e.g.For two shaders that are emitting light, like the Emission and Background Shaders. Sunday, AugBlender transparent glass Rodney Zamora When it comes to creating transparent glass with Blender, there are two key factors to keep in mind: first, how you set up your render layers and materials, and second, how you use the Cycles Render Settings to control the amount of light that passes through the glass.To colour your Volume Scatter by adding a Volume Absorption of the same colour.Some places where you should use the Add Shader: When Opacity is 0, the surface allows all light to pass through. When Opacity is 1, the surface is fully opaque, meaning it blocks 100 of the light that hits it. It can be used in some places, but only where you know that you're supposed to (or if you intentionally want to break the rules for artistic freedom). Foliage Transparency and Opacity In Unreal Engine, transparency works by assigning each pixel an Opacity value between 0 and 1. So if this Add Shader is so evil, why does it even exist? Well, it's not that evil, it's just a misunderstood villain :) The strands are pretty terrible if you look at them up-close, and don't even think about using it on normal geometry (ok, do, it's pretty cool), but when used on actual hair, it works really well. So instead, this shader takes a shortcut and does some very clever approximations of what each strand looks like from afar. Yes, you could create a pretty good material for hair using diffuse, glossy and translucency or SSS, but that would take a really long time to render. So this shader takes advantage of the fact that we don't care what each strand looks like, we only want our awesome fluffy character to look good. Make your paper drawing or photo transparent for use in 2D or 3D animation This can be done in several ways. That's because hair is basically an enormous amount of tiny geometry which has to look right as a whole. Not only is it hard to create and groom in an attractive way, but it's extremely taxing on rendering, both in simulation and rendering. This interesting shader is like a mix of the diffuse, translucent and anisotropic shader. What it does: Absorbs and reflects light - but specifically for hair.
