How Did You Get That Toon Shader To Look So Crisp In Your Most Recent Blender Work?

how did you get that toon shader to look so crisp in your most recent blender work?

it’s not actually a proper shader material, it’s just flats with added bells and whistles, rendered out using the Workbench renderer rather than cycles or eevee!

here’s some setup to show you what i mean:

How Did You Get That Toon Shader To Look So Crisp In Your Most Recent Blender Work?

if your object has a texture map you can select ‘texture’ under Color rather than material, but in this case the colors are purely material-based, and goes by the ‘viewport display’ color property in each different material

also the the outlines are hard to see here but they are drawn both along the silhouette and along where each separate object meets (for example, there’s outlines are drawn around the base of the horns) and that adds a subtle hand-drawn effect

next step is to check shadow and cavity

shadows and cavity are looking nice so far. in cavity settings you can tweak the strength of ridge (peaks highlight) and valley (cavity darkness) as needed for your object, as well as shadow darkness for your preferred effect. the edges of the shadows are softer by default and i want it toony so that’s here this tweak comes in:

that handy little settings gear on the right of the shadow slider is where you can harden the shadows and tweak the light direction if you want/need to

and rendering takes like 1 freaking second even at high res so that’s another plus to this method

hope this helps!

Hello peeps of the Animation Community! It is officially the new year, which means we’ve got a whole new batch of promising television animation to look forward to in 2019 including

The Owl House created by Dana Terrace coming to Disney Channel

Villainous created by Alan Ituriel coming to Cartoon Network

Hazbin Hotel created by Vivienne Medrano coming to YouTube

Infinity Train created by Owen Dennis coming to Cartoon Network

And Amphibia created by Matt Braly coming to Disney Channel!

And in addition to these new series, we also have new seasons of old favorites such as Steven Universe and Star vs. the Forces of Evil coming this new year! So I believe it is safe to say this is looking to be a fantastic year for animation!

Upgrade:

The pumpkin lady has a hand and I want to draw an owl.

My Jack o lantern drawing

Okay, so, in art class we have been doing charcoal all this time, practising drawing statues.

Like this gorgeous first attempt of drawing with charcoal. Beautiful.

The man and the “I’m judging you” face woman. (The light is there too, I’m too sassy, I couldn’t resist)

The awesome abstract drawing withe the “cube face”. I swear, it’s supposed to be a face there in the right.

“The man who used to not have half of his face” is there too. He seems a little sad, I wonder why.

And, so, the time passed. The teacher said we could draw anything we wanted.

Anything .

I present you MISS PUMPKIN. I’M NOT GIVING UP HALLOWEEN UNTIL IT’S DECEMBER. It’s not finished yet. I started a few days ago, I don’t want to give up, I have to finish it. Oh, and yes, she has not hand.

…

Halloween never diessss yaaaaaayy!!!
