Honestly, this kind of game art style is so relaxing to look at. I would totally play a game like this one where you character can relax under a tree with this art style. Amazing video man!

the ni no kuni series! the art style is ghibli inspired and the game's animated cutscenes were made by ghibli themselves. you can't relax under a tree though i don't think, it's an rpg game :)

they could have went for a heavily stylized 3d, but instead they went for bland, boring, flat, lifeless 3d

[@CreativeSteve69]

lets not forgeet mysaki did not make that movie. His son took a chance at movie making but failed at it. hope someday he can learn from this mistake and have a redeeming chapter with a 2D film.

[@antimewpropaganda9503]

you cant really blame them, they followed the direction of his son, with his father not helping, to you know, try to get him to create his own work, also it was one of their first time creating 3d only, probably in a new way. The father since came out of retirement after this was released, probably due to shame no doubt, and hes working on a new anime. You can probably imagine the emotions the father felt after towards his company.

[@maggyfrog]

@@antimewpropaganda9503 miyazaki has been working on his new stuff way before they released the 3d movie by his son. he was supposed to have finished before tokyo olympics but i suppose the pandemic affected the schedules.

[@mayankprasoontirkey369]

I can see my job flashing before my eyes. but to be honest, even though I'm 2d artist I use 3d time to time and this will improve my workflow for sure. Thank you

[@StylizedStation]

Procedural textures will NEVER be able to replace a great 2d artist in my opinion. Your job is safe :D

[@peevee5588]

Or you can see this as an oppertunity to speed up your workflow quite a bit. Take it to 90% in 3d + finishing touches by you. Win!

[@ShiroCh_ID]

@@peevee5588 agreed uses 3d for repetitive thing and use manual modes or your usual 2d to finish it or re detail it

Hi, I am starting my 3D artist's Journey recently.. I have been learning Blender, SP, Zbrush with UnrealEngine and I figured out it is never easy to use those tools without basic knowledge. So here is my question. Do you recommend to take the 3D Coloring book course before the 3d environment artist's survival kit ? or can I learn some basic things(like textuering) from the Environment artist's survival kit class as well?

[@OrcinusDrake]

I haven't painted, drawn, textured, coloured, sketched or done anything like that in decades. I wasn't good at it then, and so I never had interest in learning and it's all been a mystery to me. But you're really tempting me to give it a shot.

[@fredmarquis1105]

great job !

[@EASTSIDEDELI]

for some reason, I thought of Dono's 3d demo reel when I was watching this and what his updated demo reel might look like!

[@StylizedStation]

I can only hope to rise to that level of skill someday

[@Melarancida]

Let's be honest though.. Dono is on it's own level, no one can compete

[@markbay9275]

This was very helpful. Thank you.

[@StylizedStation]

Glad it was helpful!

[@goblinphreak2132]

I would love an actual anime style mmorpg (with skill systems like "you were hit x times with poison, now have level 1 poison resist" style, etc) and you can't learn everything and you can't be the master of every skill, you end up unique based on your own playstyle and story. Along with having the art style of studio ghibli, fuck yeha. that would be dope.

[@obshussion8401]

yessss I've been wishing for something like this and so have my friends

[@R-SXX]

Would you ever consider create materials in designer? Or do you use substance since you don't need/use normals?

[@gamzeemakara7409]

35 seconds in, instant sub

[@SxitGtwitch]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I would also love to see a step by step tutorial about creating a full stylized (Ghibli) environment in Unreal Engine. Is something like this maybe comeing in the next weeks?

[@StylizedStation]

I have a stylized environment course in UE4 coming out in the next few months.

[@bumpbomb2512]

great job

[@RogerHazelwood]

would you prefer substance painter or designer for those texture creations? i cant see the benefits using painter for this

[@evil3dsponge580]

Do you have a step by step video that show how you get the final result in 7:22? Thanks

[@kaizze8777]

Thanks to substance I customized my own smart textures. All I need to do to get "my style" is to slap it ok the layer. Add some gradients and mask some bits and voila! Hand painting is now more of a case of "designing" of what textures go where. If you come from 2D like me. Do NOT get married to the idea of hand painting. Do as much via PBR shaders and you'll be surprised how fast you can create stuff.

[@garywilkerson6395]

Why do all my seams show so badly when applying generators but yours do not?

[@bdhanes]

Who knew Edward Norton does 3D texture tutorials? "I am Jack's complete lack of surprise" Fight Club 😂

[@gaschneidr]

Really cool video! I love ghibli style for 3d stuff. I have a question though. The material created with this process would be a procedural one, like there would be no tilling and etc in a large mesh, or is it a regular 2d tillable texture? Don't know if it's a stupid question but I'm new to this.

[@TheToppings]

It's made with generators that apply to the whole uv space so there wouldn't be any tiling unless scaled and defined to tile. At the end where he makes this a smart material you can drag it to any mesh. you can look at the default smart materials and see how they work. hope that helps

[@gaschneidr]

@@TheToppings Thanks for the explanation. I'll definitely look more into it

[@philippmaluta978]

woooooww!

[@KlassAnimated]

Is it highly recommended to create these textures in substance painter? Or can I still do the same thing in photoshop? Thinking critically about getting this course.

[@SuperGari2]

Nice tutorial, but I am missing in 2:55 after you dropped tiny bit of height. How did you get half white and black? i am feeling that you skip the position gradient under mask editor setting generation??? please help.

[@Master_Cornchip]

All you gotta do to replicate that is create a new fill layer, add black mask, add position generator, and add a blur slope filter. then just mess with the colors and sliders to get the look you are going for.

Does anyone the name of the music he used in this video?

[@RipperD1]

Just a tip, press alt + left click on your black mask under layers to change your view mode to mask. It's much easier than selecting mask from the Material dropdown.

[@StylizedStation]

I had no idea about this, great tip!

[@ThePress00]

Hi, thanks for the amazing video Can you share your computer specs? I'd like to move to 3D but my laptop is absolute crap. And I'd like to know what specs i should look for.

[@jamesrush64]

This looks great. I have a question, I wanted to get your coloring book and see that it comes with Ghibli Smart Materials. What are the smart materials? would they allow me to convert any texture to ghibli style like this?

[@granny5473]

Smart Materials can be used to just drag and drop on your object/the part you want it to be on with help of a black mask. For example a metal smart material would already provide you with the right properties which you can adapt to your liking for example Colour, Roughness etc. Hope that helped :)

[@Keshely]

[@RipperD1]

There's a cut in your video at 2:56, skipping the position gradient under mask editor setting generation.

[@Tchouston706]

I noticed this! I can't figure it out ... how do you achieve that?

[@windowsxpeu]

you need to bake a position map on your mesh. for that, you can go to bake mesh maps, check box the position map, and check "use low poly as high poly mesh" (unless you have a high poly mesh)

[@Master_Cornchip]

All you gotta do to replicate that is create a new fill layer, add black mask, add position generator, and add a blur slope filter. then just mess with the colors and sliders to get the look you are going for.

[@philosophyfrog2653]

If you really want to use 3d for your 2d environments the best way is to just use projection masking. Then again the Ghibli style is actually a pretty damn easy style to imitate because of the flat cell shaded colouring it mostly just requires stamp brushes so you might as well just paint it entirely in Photoshop, it's actually faster.

[@philosophyfrog2653]

@N0D3 Yeah well it depends a lot on your own painting skills of course but it's still a lot faster to paint these type of backgrounds than model them and create cell shaded materials. The only reason to do this is if you have a complex camera movement in your shot which is rarely the case. Would mostly occur in an action scene.
