Ghibli Stylized Grass Tutorial (Overview & Step-by-step)

[@vlustrousv]

[7:49] if you can't find the hair area, it's actually now called "Curves". Hope it helped :)

[@jasmindarvish]

Omg thank you ive been looking everywere for an answer haha

[@ohitsmjb]

For anyone stuck at 14:30 Separate HSV is in the Separate Color now

[@ohitsmjb]

ALSO HAIR CHANGED TO CURVES

Add-ons Node: Node Wrangler to enable crtl-shift left click to create a viewer at 3:46.

[@tonyh9102]

This is the best grass shader that I found on KZbin, you explained everything in detail while being concise, awesome work dude!

[@astrobeef8231]

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful to you

[@anodyne-4736]

Thank you for the in depth tutorial, I added TextCoord/Mapping in my Noise Texture and Combine XYZ for vector values so I can simulate wind/clouds from afar, especially with an isometric view

[@sunny_lie]

Hotkey for notes is: CTRL + J . Just select the node(s) you want to add a frame around. Enjoy everyone ^^

[@ciao5197]

If you want to use any other object (grass model) as particle , just use the same material for the grass model , use texture coordinate from object and use and empty object . so the plane and the particles will blend together and if you scale move or rotate the empty object , it will change the texture. also dont forget to connect the mapping to both musgrave and noise Nice tutorial dude , finally made the stylized grass

[@astrobeef8231]

Thanks, I didn't know about that. I tried using a model before but couldn't get it to work, I'll try your method

[@ciao5197]

@@astrobeef8231 it's the same thing what pierrick picaut uses in his stylized grass video , just check it out once I will link it here

This is the comment i was looking for! Im gonna try replicate in Unity using grass patches, hopefully its achiveable

[@LawsofPaul]

Incredible tutorial. I love your ability to succinctly describe the reasoning and function behind each step.

[@flakmoppen]

Amazing tutorial. I love how you explained every step without dragging on.

[@iCookMe]

Love that you explain the /why/ to the best of ur ability, not just what to do. Thanks, this is really cool!

[@Gadalac]

4d on textures basically acts as a seed to randomize it

[@astrobeef8231]

That's awesome, I looked into it more after I read your comment, and it seems like a better solution to the method I used to randomize the texture

[@leukk_]

If anybody is struggling to find the "Hair" strip setting in render tab, its still there but renamed under "Curves"

[@nightingale8178]

You are a life saver. Thx very much for that

[@LawrenceAaronLuther]

thank you very much. Worked just as well with geometry nodes.

[@jesusaulloa1653]

This is truly the best tutorial ive seen on toon shader in general haha feels so neat with frames and then the whole "group input" none of the videos I've seen mentioned it so pretty cool to know what its for and how to use. Thank you !

[@Gadalac]

This is a gorgeous shader! Thanks for sharing!

[@whteve788]

mate ur grass work really well in my laptop, thank mate

[@OsuperSorvete]

You sir. Deserve all the subscribers in the whole world. This was a TOP NOTCH tutorial. Keep up the good work!

[@ahmetomercicek5848]

short and to the point, thanks

[@jtpitaro6196]

Quite epic, this would look cool on some trees

[@astrobeef8231]

Epic idea, I'll mess around with some leaves

[@JacobHalton]

This is really cool, I just have one issue with the grass overlapping other shapes, or going through them, since when it's set to "Children: Simple" it seems like they don't stay contained to the emitter very well when you increase the radius. If Children are set to "Interpolated", it gives you more control, but the noise color doesn't show in the grass as nicely. Any ideas on how to handle that?

[@cloudy9755]

The most recent version of Blender does not have a viewer, but there is another node that does the same thing. The (Emission) node

[@alan-db3oc]

nice tut. keep it up. i like your method. explain everything firts, for experience users. then expalin step by step for beginner users. the best.

[@calendulaprox2155]

Thank you for this. I really tried to replicate this in Unity Shadergraph with no success.. Shame it really was what i was going for

[@Brinco-tv]

Thanks for this tutorial! Everything great till I get to "shadow mode : none", for whatever reason has no effect and shadows continue to cast between blades.

[@WhiteLionProd15]

I had the same issue. Make sure you're using EEVE and not cycles as your render engine! Hope this was helpful!

[@net5978]

Thanks for this. Quick, to the point and amazing. Awesome.

Wow, this is actually amazing!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you sir.

[@binht8746]

Thank you very much! You saved my life!

[@milocero]

awesome stuff man

[@kookiespace]

Do you have any advice on how to make larger grassy areas? Your settings work really well for small patches. My guess would be that I should bake/ apply the modifier and distribute multiple planes around with mirrors or something?

[@robertkorhonen9417]

Very cool! Any chance you could also share tips/tricks how you made the grass in the thumbnail?

[@astrobeef8231]

Yeah, I just played around with the particle settings described in the video (diameter, height, etc.). Sorry I don't have more advice than that. If you're not able to get a similar effect I can post an image of the settings in this description or something

[@thomazsardinha25]

Hey man, thanks for the tutorial, really great! Subscribed already! I had a problem while making this, the shadow stopped working at some point, I don't know what I did wrong. The nodes look exactly the same.

[@astrobeef8231]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It's hard to say without seeing your nodes. Did you switch from Eevee to Cycles?

[@DommoDommo]

This is great, would this be something you'd import into Godot? Or is that not how this works?

[@animatorwisko442]

ya i saw the shauder i always ask my self how is there cloth moving sot this is it nice one

[@BarbarosTheBarbarian]

Dudeee...! How come you have so few subs? There are many stylized grass tutorials on youtube. They mostly just tell you what to do and leave out the "why". You've explained what to do, how to do, how to keep it organized and neat, how to tweak to our liking and how to re-use a complex shading method on other scenes with just a few clicks. You've got a new sub! I look forward to more stylized/toon/anime style environment and modelling tutorials. If anything, I'd turn the mic volume up while recording. I had to turn the volume up quite a bit to hear you. Other than that, this is an awesome tutorial.

[@astrobeef8231]

I appreciate it, my goal was to go a bit further into the “why” and polish it as if I was going to use it in my own project. I agree with the mic, it’s my one regret after publishing. One of these days I’ll have another tutorial for you lol

[@earlyriser79]

@@astrobeef8231 I agree, the depth of this tut is great.

[@JacobIsACheese]

thats really good!! thank you!!!

[@stormyRust]

Thank you so much for the amazing grass tutorial! I wanted to use a version of this in a Unity project but I wasn't sure how to get about trasnfering Blender shaders to Unity since i'm a beginner. Can you lmk if there's any way for me to do that? Thanks and great video :)

[@pejv7903]

I'm having the same issue, I don't think you can transfer (bake) shaders done in Eevee.

[@Anaiv777]

I think there's a way. You have to export the texture in the UV Layout as an image. Then, you import those images in your unity project and put them in their correct channels (normal, albedo, metallic, etc). I hope this help you! It's difficult to explain it in a comment

[@SATOhara3173]

You're a fucking legend mate.

[@MaxVinopalDev]

Hey man, any chance you could share nodes for the rocks?

Anyone know how to get this into UE5? Mine just becomes a white plane when exporting it.

[@saiadin100]

Hello! Fantastic tutorial! The emission of hairs is no longer making shapes like grams in the most current versions, is that right?

[@Sugmer.]

does anyone know a way to make this shader scale correctly when changing the planes size? Great tutorial btw

[@teamaster3164]

Thank you Subcribed, i hope you'll make another stylized shading tutorial

[@astrobeef8231]

Thanks, I'll definitely make more in the future

[@albertsodor4651]

Is it possible to do a stylized grass like this in cycles? great video btw 🙌

[@fleaspoon]

how do you get the round shape in the tip? I tried changing the params but I can't get them like you do

[@MrGuyweinstein]

can you apply wind and a line art effect on the grass?

Thank so much for this! Is there a way to make the grass like in the thumbail? I can't achieve it

[@astrobeef8231]

The three tones of grass was just done in photoshop, but you could do the same by dividing a mesh between three materials. If you mean the grass style, I got there by experimenting with the hair properties. I don't have it saved so I don't know the specific values

[@Hello-wn2dr]

Im trying to make a picnic scene with these grass tutorial but how do i make it so that the grass doesnt stab through my picnic cloth

[@astrobeef8231]

There's probably a better way to do it, but the first way that comes to mind is to use vertex groups. It's a cheap and easy way to get the result. There's plenty of tutorials on vertex groups, but essentially: assign a vertex group on the grass object beneath the picnic cloth. Then invert the selection and make that a new group as well. In the particle system, there's an option to change properties by vertex group. Assign the 'length' to the inverted group (the group not under the cloth). Hope that helps

what would i have to do to add more colors to the musgrave texture

[@astrobeef8231]

A ton of ways to add more color, but the first method that comes to mind: Rather than plugging the factor into a 'MixRGB' of two colors, you could plug into a 'Color Ramp' with as many colors as you like

[@doro8274]

@@astrobeef8231 interestingly enough it seems to be having some trouble with the lighting data. to describe, it's casting a shadow independent to any light i try and add which causes a sort of double shadow effect where one shadow is stylized and the other seems to be normal. thank you for responding!
