We'll guide you through the process of setting up procedural shaders in Blender, showing you how to manipulate nodes to achieve a dynamic, painterly effect that automatically applies across your entire animation. This method not only simplifies the creation process but also allows for incredible flexibility in adjusting the style and colors of your animation on the fly.

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!

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

[@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"

[@jncobayb]

You rock!

[@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.

[@agent_8167]

Excellent tutorial! Can't wait to use it in the future (but like, sir... it's vo-ro-noy, not vo-ro-nee)

[@artinacart8035]

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?

[@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

can you add this filter to objects with more then one color?

[@Thebassjunk]

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?

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.

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

[@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 !

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.

[@Monshterlight]

First of all thank you for making this, the materials look amazing! I have a problem with the outline material. It's going over all of my model, it's like the material offset on the solidify modifier isn't working. 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!

[@dragoncraft010]

I use backface culling and alpha blend on mine

[@Monshterlight]

@@dragoncraft010 I ended up removing the material slot for the outline mat and assigning it again. I had remade it a few times, but it didn't occur to me at first that I should probably remove the whole thing. Not sure why, but it worked for me after doing that!

The transparency on the outline material isn't working for me? It just makes the whole object completely black. How do I fix this?

[@dirtiestharry6551]

You really need to watch basic tutorials first. Hit "Z" and either choose "material preview(7)" or "rendered(9)". You can also do this by clicking on viewport shading buttons that are on top right by default. Also, this tutorial is targeted for cycles, so make sure your render option is set to cycles

great tutorial to follow 1on1 but for a newbie like me i started using blender mainly for this effect but i have no idea what each of these nodes do. I you could make a longer version with examples of each nodes and how they work with each other, I would love that. basically a beginner friendly tutorial. I would love to use these effects on robots or background stuff for my 2d animations but blender is so much to learn and stuff idk what it does
