All language subtitles for 11-RandomBevel

So far, our wall has been looking pretty stylized
and cartoony, but now we're at the turning point

where we'll start pushing the realism more
and more with each chapter. We already added

some variation, but this is where we start
texturing the wall, and randomizing more stuff.

Another thing that we can randomize,
is the bevel distance of the bricks.

This is great for making
the edge look old and worn.

We can control the bevel with the
From Max value in this Map Range.

The closer it is to From
Min, the sharper the edge.

We already have a Noise Texture here, that we can
reuse. The Noise parameters for the corner radii

are not really that critical, so we can always
tweak this Noise to fit our needs for the bevel.

Let's add a Separate RGB node, so that we
can use another random channel for the bevel.

And let's plug the R channel into our
existing Map Range, just for clarity,

as the R channel is the same as the Factor output.

Now we can duplicate the Map Range, and
connect it to the next available channel.

Let's initialize both output values to
15, which is our current bevel distance.

Plugging it in, nothing changes, but now
we can start playing with the output range,

to get some interesting distortion.

We can also adjust the input
range, to increase the contrast.

We can push it very far, to the point that
it really starts eating into our bricks.

But if we clamp the input range too
much, we get these sharp corners where

the bevel transitions from the
lowest value to a higher value.

To fix this, we can change the interpolation to
smooth step, which creates a nicer transition.

To get some more realistic texture, let's make
this a bit more rough, by increasing the detail.

Bricks often have a streaky horizontal
texture, so let's reproduce that,

by adding a Vector Math node before the
Noise Texture, and setting it to multiply.

Let's set X to one, so that the
horizontal scale doesn't change,

but now we can increase Y, to control how much
we want to compress the texture vertically.

Let's also check how it looks in Cycles, to make
sure everything is still working properly there.

The displacement seems fine, but
now that we're adding more detail,

it's starting to look a bit blocky,
so let's go over to the modifiers tab,

and increase our viewport
subdivision level. That's better!

Lastly, let's not forget to
re-enable the distortion.
