EASIEST Way to Make Painterly Animations in Blender 3D (Procedural Shader)

[@AndroChimera]

tutorial for anyone having a hard time finding the textures, open Crafty Asset Pack blend file than go to file>external data>unpack resources than i think its the first option they will give you, a folder will be created where that blend file is called "textures" and that's it enjoy.

If you can't click "unpack resources" just click on the ✔ in box next to "Automatically pack ressources" right above.

[@virgilhawkins3390]

For Eevee users: in the Outline material, you don't need the second Mix Shader that uses the Geometry: Backfacing as the factor. You do have to go to the Material tab, Settings drop down at the bottom, and check Backface Culling, then set Blend Mode to Alpha Blend, and Shadow Mode to None.

[@Mono-Toon]

That helped me so much, thank you! for me it was under "viewport display" then do what you said (and idk if it was checked at the beginning but uncheck "show backface" if you can suddenly look through your model)

[@faimenDev]

You are the best!

[@ritpop]

it took me months to figure out how to do this, and now everyone is doing tutorials. even the blender studios is doing it.

[@IGarrettI]

Ikr 😂 same here. must be the influence of arcane , spiderverse and all that

[@kenneth_romero]

I remember using blender in middle school but holy shit has it upgraded so much. jeez, that's so fucking cool how well developed it got.

[@evilotis01]

this looks fantastic. thank you.

[@evilotis01]

wow, i particularly like how you generate the outline using a second material and solidify modifier to shade the flipped normals. i've never seen anyone use a technique like that before. it's *really* clever.

[@theawesomerazz]

thank you so much for this tutorial, it was a big help and very easy to follow

[@AlienXtream1]

3 mins in and i may have a tip for you. if you want to keep the positions of the voronoi and just affect the edges the "linear light" blend mode works quite well

Hi, awesome video! I´ve got a cool result here, thanks for teaching it! I just couldn´t find those free png files, they aren´t included on the zip, but i could use the tips on the other videos you-ve linked and it wnt great as well. Thank You so Much, that painterly was fun!!

[@143a69]

I thought the same at first, to get those pngs, link the asset browser to the blend file and import the 4k paint brush texture (it was pink ig) and then you will have the files imported in your model too. Hope this helps

[@zaneberry]

the outline nodes step at the end just made my whole model black

[@mikaylaaaas]

me too. did u end up finding a solution?

[@tttttttttttttttp12]

are you in cycles?

[@fanjames8185]

me too. have u guys found any solution?

[@processandbeing]

I'm struggling with this too. Well, it hasn't made the WHOLE model black but I definitely have black outlines and the Base Color doesn't affect anything. Anybody find a solution? [EDIT] OK, I switched from EEVEE to Cycles and that helped. Then I messed with the black/white Color Ramp connected to the Principaled BSDF's Alpha slot. It's not black anymore but the material applied after Solidify is visible on top of my base mesh, meaning that while I have the outlines I also have a red Noise map projected on top of my object. I have Backface Culling turned on in both the primary and outline materials' Viewport Display > Settings and have selected Flip under the Normals section of the Solidify modifier. I dunno... this tutorial definitely didn't work for me.

[@justindewangga6292]

I had the same problem as well, seems like I didn't realize that I am using the translucent BSDF instead of the transparent BSDF, so I changed it and it worked. Since sometimes when we try to search for transparent BSDF, we write "trans..." and directly press enter, and turns out we accidentally pressed the translucent one. Try to check yours. Hope that's the problem for you.

Incredible channel! you have a new follower and a like.

[@HorridCrow]

This doesn't work for animations. When you start animating (even simple rotation), the normal map gets tangled up. The problem stems from the position socket in the voronoi texture. Does anyone know a fix or workaround?

[@KYRAP17]

Same here... Normal map does not work well when objects starts rotating. Hoping there's way to fix it...

[@dirtiestharry6551]

@@KYRAP17 I ended up baking textures, still looks great imo

[@jimmyjones3200]

@@dirtiestharry6551 Hey! Sorry i know its been a while but i noticed you baked the textures and I am having an issue. The baked results looks quite different to the shader. Did you find this too? I am baking the correctly way but maybe this shader setup needs something extra to work

[@Zeis]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial, thank you so much for making this! I've been looking for a tutorial like this for a long time. Very minor side note: It's pronounced "voro-NOY" not "voro-NEE"

Love the tutorial! :D Is there a place where we can download this file so we can understand better the whole process? I´d love to have it. Thanks for this amazing tutorial!

[@ChristopherHemsworthCreative]

Hi thanks for this interesting tutorial. What's your lighting setup here and where did you get that model? I'm trying to matchup what I'm seeing with what I'm getting and having trouble. Do you have this test scene as a download somewhere?

[@paulinaestrada2511]

If I have a character, with different materials, the body, the eye, ears, etc., and I want to add that painting effect, do I have to do it with each part of the material? Like the body, ears, etc., or does that effect apply to everything?

[@spetauskas]

not really understand what happend from 9:45 ... :D how you can apply material to modifier or fliped normals.. where is magic?

Does this also make the cast shadow painterly as well?

[@Dragonia-firiva]

i wonder how do you do it with a drawn texture

[@galvanizedecofriendlysteel]

THANK YOU !!!!

[@GrandeGio95]

Where can I find the Paint-Brush Normal map ?

[@lutzilutz9123]

Very nice ! One limitation : doesn't work for flat surfaces. In my case for a cylinder, you only get variations along the rotation, and no variations along the height of the cylinder. Plus both ends of the cylinder. I think it's because the voronoi texture is based on the initial normal, which only changes along the rotation and not the height. Any thought how to have voronoi cell on flat surfaces, or on 1-dimensional curvature ?

[@SouthernShotty]

If you uv unwrap and change to uv input it could work better

[@lutzilutz9123]

@@SouthernShotty I'm not fond of uv unwrapping, but thanks a lot for the tip :) I appreciate it !

[@cavebirb]

What I've found is you can set the object with flat surfaces to shade smooth but it could seems a little janky

[@IridiumZero]

"We're gonna go ahead"x800000

[@gordonbrinkmann]

Instead of using two Mix Shader nodes for the outline, you could simply take the Is Shadow Ray and Backfacing outputs and combine them in a Math node either set to Add or Maximum and use the result as factor for a single Mix Shader.

VERY NICE, I LIKE. Is there a way to make this work in realtime in Eevee? I notice that when you plug the normal map and voronoi texture into the mix, the result doesn't move with the light. Is there a way to put the normal map node after the mix to make it behave more realistically?

to do this in unreal, is it easier to make this shader in blender and bake, then export, or just do the shader in unreal engine?

[@kimtae858]

I'd just use unreal. Their node-based shader editor is miles ahead of blender's.

[@dathedix3951]

While you could do it in their material editor baking down everything that's done before the outline / displacement step would be more performant.

is it normal for objects to become darker after outline?

[@alperenctk1398]

Is it possible to directly use a shader with a toon effect created in Blender within Unity, or do I need to recreate it entirely in Unity? For example, if I achieve a good look in Blender, can I convert it to a texture and expect it to look the same in Unity?

[@federicofelici9703]

Excelente

[@mootion]

As an Unreal user my question is, would this texture work outside of blender when we export the model?

[@CrazyLikeChris]

At the start if the tutorial when i plug in the voronoi texture to the bsdf nothing on my model changes? No faceted look nothing any help here?

[@chrislindholm4200]

If I wanted to use my own brush textures, how do you create the normal map of the brush like you have done? I wanted to take some brushes I use in procreate.

[@elstinopacino]

There's websites like SmartNormal or NormalMapOnline that automate this process which isn't always as accurate as you'd want but they do a pretty good job

[@rekov]

I don't know what's going on, but the moment I rotate my object I start seeing a weird flat-shaded effect on my mesh even though it is set to smooth shading. Has something to do with directly using the position data out of the voronoi node.

[@pepziifroztgamer6102]

I have absoloutly no idea why mine is not working, I am assuming the object's shape is an issue, but I can't figure out why. I'm using a pillow shaped object and its really not complicated, its medium topology with super simple smooth shapes. I used the mirror modifier but I applied it long before all of this and recaclc normals, apply all transforms and resmoothed, i am so confused why it breaks where the mirror sat and why the brush strokes aren't being applied and why i can't preview it like you do. Mine has no color when I preview it and the image textures are non existant. I rewatched three times and its identical setup to yours. I am using cycles, I am in rendered mode and in material preview mode, I have used nodes before a lot so I'm not a beginner either. I really think its some bug or I'm being stupid! I am using blender 4.2 if that has anything to do with it :'D

I am using Blender 4.1, Cycles, I'm in rendered display, and have checked many times that my materials are the same as his. I have the two materials where Outline is the second one and material offset on Solidify is set to 1, same as in the video. I've tried to change that number as well, but it changes nothing for me. If anyone has an idea to what is wrong I would love to know!
