In this episode, we dive into the most commonly used Arnold nodes I use for procedural shading and texturing. We'll explore Arnold AI standard surface, AI ramp, AI noise, cell noise, multiply, add, layer RGB, curvature, triplanar, color correction, and image nodes. These nodes are essential for manipulating and adjusting shaders to achieve realistic textures. Additionally, we'll discuss the utility of layering shaders, and extracting alphas for more detailed effects. Check out how to use these tools for creating stunning visual effects and artworks.
