Blender procedurally generated circuit board...

I saw this today on BlenderNation.

A very easy to follow demonstration of setting up nodes in Blender 2.8 to create a circuit board texture from Leroy Xie.

Blender Beyond Beta - 2.80rc1



Blender 2.80 Release Candidate 1 is out today.



It's looking mighty fine and the UI has been redesigned to work the way users of most commercial software packages expect. 






Give it a try! 

Download it from www.blender.org.
Extract the downloaded file, then run Blender straight from the extracteed folder.
