Gold design on wood | Blender

Hello, in this article, you will learn a technique that will help you a lot. I am showing gold design on wood in this article. You can use any material instead of wood for example you can use cloth textures or stone textures. By practicing and applying the textures you will get more ideas and you can increase your creativity.

Let’ start..

Step: 1 – Take a plane, and unwrap the UV. Add a material. Click on the ‘Material Preview’ mode.

Step: 2 – Go to the ‘Shader Editor’. Add the ‘Mix Shader’ node. Connect the ‘Shader’ of the ‘Mix Shader’ to ‘Surface’ of the ‘Material Output’ node. Add two ‘Principled BSDF’ nodes. Connect the ‘BSDF’ of two ‘Principled BSDF’ nodes to the two ‘Shader’s of the ‘Mix Shader’ node as shown in the below image. Add a ‘Color Ramp’ node.  Connect the ‘Color’ of the ‘Color Ramp’ node to the ‘Fac’ of the ‘Mix Shader’ node as shown in the below image node.

Step: 3 – Drag and drop the image which you want the design as gold coated to the ‘Shader Editor’. Connect the ‘Color’ of the image to the ‘Fac’ of the ‘Color Ramp’. Set the ‘Non-Color’ in the ‘Color Space’ in the image texture as shown in the below image.
