[Solved] 2.8 shader editor vs texture editor

Artistic Support Materials and Textures

Hi there. i’m new to Blender, but i’m starting to slowly master the basics. i’m coming from 2.79, and i’m a bit confused about the texture, and shader nodes. when i try to create a new material like i did in 2.79, nothing appears in the texture node editor. while it appears in the shader node editor. does that mean that i should now use the shader editor.
i’m just doing some basing texturing right now. diffuse + normal. what’s exactly the difference between the 2. ty

Hi, yep you should use the shader editor. The texture nodes are going to be phased out soon, they’re a remnant from the Blender Internal days.
