Video Contents:
00:16 Setup described.
01:32 Noise Texture added.
02:27 Subtract math nodes added. This converts the noise texture to black and white and centers it around zero.
03:24 Maximum node added. This produces black lines that can be used for the cracks.
03:59 Minimum node added. This filters out everything except the black lines.
04:24 Multiply node added. This lightens things up.
04:43 Emission shader is deleted and Mix shader is reconnected.
04:53 Multiply node connected to Displacement input to produce cracks on the sphere.
05:11 Noise Texture Detail value adjusted to produce jagged edges.
05:25 Nodes added to give cracks a diffuse material.
07:05 Node adjustments explained.
07:46 Positioning of cracks explained.
