[@funnynoob-minecraft5657]

will it be possible to do this with any texture?😮

[@ComfeeMug]

@funnynoob-minecraft5657 Yes, with a few exceptions like glass and other transparent/translucent materials. But I tried to outline the steps as clearly as possible so that you can use this for nearly every hard surface material and get a good result. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful! 😆

[@chiweyufortune]

Yeessssss finally 🎉❤

[@sumicmusic]

Something that is worth noting is that many anime actually already use photorealistic textures as they are in backgrounds, and depending on the style you're going for it might not always be necessary at all to stylize your textures :)

[@ComfeeMug]

@sumicmusic Oh hey, Sumi! Glad to see you here 😁 Very true, a lot of anime use realistic textures. Though I would say that they usually have painted touchups over the realistic textures to give them the painted look. Either way, there are plenty of styles within the anime artform 😄

[@endrebaklund7497]

The "noise" you see in (at least older) anime is the paper grain from the paper the images were drawn on, so if you want to reflect that you could use a paper texture rather than noise for the final step.

[@qwqwerertyty]

5:40 - When making light falloffs with color ramp, instead of stretching node, it's often much easier to multiply input color by some value greater than 1 (e.g. using mix color node set to multiply). There will be 1 node more in your node setup, but it will drastically simplify gradient fine-tuning. Make sure not to multiply by extreme values, because it affects how much light is needed to get nice highlights.

[@ComfeeMug]

@qwqwerertyty Oh very interesting! I can't wait to try this!! Would you get the same level of control over the specific placement of the color stops with this method?

[@qwqwerertyty]

​@@ComfeeMug yes, this method allows you to use whole color ramp instead of tiny portion, when using dark textures. Value that you need to set as multiplier is different every time, so you can use math node set to 'greater than' with multiplied color connected to value, and factor set to 1. Than you can start adjusting multiplication, and make sure, that you don't get any white spots from math node (it means that you're clipping). Also you should disable color clip in mix color node.

[@justduckyart]

@@qwqwerertyty is there a benefit to using a color mix node set to multiply rather than just a math node set to multiply on the Brightness/Contrast node output?

[@qwqwerertyty]

@justduckyart Actually yes, there is. Let's for example take coloured image texture that's dark, or dimly lit (makes sense when using color ramp or anything else). We need to 'map' our colors to take whole 0-1 spectrum (because in video example it's dimly lit, you have to work with tiny portion of color ramp 0 - ~0.15 instead of full 0-1). Best way to 'map' colors is multiplication, because it 'stretches' linearly. B/C node can do the work, but it will distort our spectrum. The problem with Math node - is that it can only process one value (it will work as 'RGB to BW' node). You can split color in channels, multiply values separately, and combine it back. But it's VERY unpractical in MOST cases. So the best solution is to use color multiplication, which can be done by connecting Value node to one of Mix Color input sockets, or by changing that socket's color directly (increase value in HSV, or set all values in RGB). You can set values greater than 1 if you click on value and type it on KB.

[@justduckyart]

@@qwqwerertyty Thanks for the explanation. Just to make sure I have this straight, the B/C output goes into one of the mix color (multiply) sockets. I can then adjust the value of the other mix color socket directly or use a math node connected to the socket to adjust the 'value', yes? (I have the factor of mix color set to 0.5)

Very nice 👍🙂 I usually just threw the color image into a Mix color set to multiply with the [Diffuse>Shader to RGB>Color Ramp] into the factor, and some shading color in the left over socket. This looks a lot better in terms of results, nice work 🤗

[@ceejey1586]

I had the same feeling with the noise, especially with 80s and 90s anime sometimes even having chromatic aberration, so I added it all in the compositor, but that white noise tip is great for more control!

[@StriderWolf]

thanks again magic mug man

[@ComfeeMug]

@StriderWolf Of course! I'm so glad you like it 😆

[@AwkwardPain]

I have floundered around trying a bunch of different ways to do this in the past, this is just a lot more simple than anything I came up with that actually looked good. Also, If you didn't want to change all of your shaders to add the noise, you get almost the same effect if you do this in the compositor. BUT, depending on how you are mixing 2d vs 3d that might not be the best way of doing it!

[@ComfeeMug]

@AwkwardPain I'm so glad I could help you out with this tutorial! That's what I'm hearing; that you can use the compositor for a really good noise result, as well as do many other things. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you for sharing, and for your support!!

[@tciddados]

5:35 a useful tip here to have color stops not quite as bunched up in situations like this is using the Map Range node before the color ramp. Then you can convert the 0-0.2 range you're actually using to 0-1, and get use out of more of the color ramp's range without having to stretch the node.

[@keyofvoid1787]

How do I use the map range in this case, what number should I use? And what about the color ramp? How should I change it to match?

[@tciddados]

@@keyofvoid1787 From top to bottom, map range takes in 5 values: the value to transform, the min/max "From" range, and the min/max "To" range. For this specific use case, you want to put Map Range directly before the color ramp node, and then use values: Value: Connect the value which you were going to connect to the color ramp fac input originally From min: 0 From max: In this example it's approx 0.2, but this would be whatever value your topmost colorstop exists at To min: 0 To max: 1 Output: Connect this to the color ramp Fac input Color ramp node itself: move each color stop to its position times 5 (because this mapping enlarges the used space by 5), which should put the uppermost color stop near the .9-1 area, but this would be up to personal preference/tweaking. Basically, what map range does is it takes the "From" range, checks where the Value rests within it percent-wise, and then converts that to a number that's that percent along the "To" range. Because the Factor input of Color Ramp expects a 0-1 value, but all the color stops in this example exist in the 0-0.2 range of that input, if you do this it basically "enlarges" the small range to fit the whole actually-used value space of the color ramp factor.

[@keyofvoid1787]

@@tciddados I more or less, got it, thanks! The hardest part to understand is the conversion from numbers to colors, like, 0.9-1 would be almost white, yeah?

[@tciddados]

@@keyofvoid1787 Pretty much, black=0 and white=1. I don't know the *exact* conversion rate for dark/light (it's not just (R+G+B)/3, it takes into account color lightness) though, but 0.9 would be slightly off-white, yeah. But importantly for this example it doesn't actually matter, because in the example used in this vid, the BrightnessContrast->Color Ramp node setup is already doing a color-to-number conversion (because ColorRamp's input is a 0-1 numerical value, not a color). So Map Range is just intercepting that conversion that's already happening, and modifying it.

[@ComfeeMug]

@tciddados I love your input on these kinds of things, as you give an alternate way of getting a similar result if people want to try a different way. Thank you for sharing this! 😄

[@ComfeeMug]

@uiteh7036 I'm so glad you liked it! Yes, great question; all you would need to do is make an image texture for the color output of the shader, and one for the bump map. Then plug those into a diffuse and bump map equivalent in the gaming engine of your choice 😄 You may need to skip the first diffuse and shader to RGB in the process to get an image texture for those 👍

[@GraveUypo]

anime backgrounds aren't that saturated. they're usually compressed to at most 40% saturation so they don't clash with the characters, which are usually more saturated. it's the little things. the look comes from low contrast and a high black level that's usually tinted, and of course, removal of detail. in photoshop i like giving one or two passes of "remove noise" filter cranked up to max but with sharpening tuned to make it look good. then tweak the colors and it doesn't take much to make any scenery scene look anime.

[@oniplexCarbon]

Oooo, i only used Color ramp and just tweak some option, this is so much more better... Also Any idea on how to add Reflection to diffuse node? 🤔 i only used your Metal Cel shader to add Glows. Also love your Channel, You're a God ❤❤❤❤

[@Marco-mg1yn]

Thank you so much! It is literally what I was looking for but I have a question. Does it work with textures with base color and emission, like lava? I am tryin but I cant connect them properly

[@ComfeeMug]

@Marco-mg1yn Ooo, you have a very good question! You would do everything the same way I showed in this tutorial, specifically for the smooth texture option so that you can retain the difference in solid rock and lava (if you can) and then you would need to make a black and white mask to separate what would be emitting light (like the lava) and what wouldn't. But if the whole shader is lava and no rock, yes, just replace the final diffuse with an emission. Lava is still able to catch some shadows, so leaving the first diffuse should be good if you just change the color of the shadows with the color ramp or mix color the way you see fit. I hope this helps 😄

[@Marco-mg1yn]

Thank you for the help. Yeah in the end i managed to do it by making one shader for rocks with the diffuse like in the tutorial and one other with the emission for the lava. And then connected both to a mix shader with Bw mask connected to the factor of the mix shader. It worked pretty well the only problem is that you should find 2 different materials,one for molten lava and one for rocks, to make it look good and then mix them with a bw map.

[@XINN1X]

Great video! Could you make one about different methods for making shadows look good on characters? The biggest issue with animating 3D models in a 2D style is the shadows the on the character. Theres many methods like custom normals with the abnormal addon, the geometry nodes custom normal setup the dillon goo studio uses and also masking textures to decide where shadows should be but theres no tutorial covering them and easy setup

[@ComfeeMug]

@XINN1X Thank you so much, and absolutely!! I plan on making a whole anime character tutorial series in the future, and the different ways of changing the normals for anime accurate shading will be a very high priority in that tutorial series 👍

Great video! Im just curious, how do you go about making a texture group node? Im doing my own texture so would I have to do my image texture to hue/saturation then connect to the principal bsdf then group it and then follow along with 2:28? I never made my own texture group node before.

[@azure8247]

Unless you plan on just rendering still images i wouldnt use so many nodes to modify the look of the original texture (since you will most likely have dozens if not more of these active on a single scene at the same time). The more complex your shader is, the longer your animations will take to render (assuming you render anything longer than a minute). For an animation studio i think it would make more sense to open up an image editor and spend less than a minute posterizing the image to reduce detail and adjust the levels to fix contrast. You could even automate this with a script to do this operation on loads of diffuse textures in an instant. Of course i would still add the noise and other generated effects with the shader nodes since that fine detail gets lost with bitmaps once you zoom in.

[@MangaGamified]

Thanks, I always forgot the taxes in render times. Somewhere along the way, I found baked textures + on low poly/PS1 models was my fave project. I always get tempted on Blender art styles / animation. I'm curious about this posterizing the image, I've looked up examples and they look so CG(I mean the literal computer generated). Also I render in game engines so I wont have to rerender every animation.

[@azure8247]

@@MangaGamified Posterizing is just reducing the number of colors, the same as he did with the color ramp to make the colors banded and more cartoony looking. Also if you use game engines then yeah you dont have to worry too much about shader complexity because your objects will share the same one so its more efficient.

[@ComfeeMug]

@azure8247 Very true, you do need to look out for render time and processing power if you're planning on having more dynamic camera movements. But this does give a greater level of control over specific objects in a given scene. I really like your suggestion to posterize a scene! I've never heard of that before and am definitely going to look into that more 😄 Thank you for sharing!

[@shadowxb202]

Can you make a video on texture tiling if possible? I think it would go really well with this tutorial. Because, when you have a model that circles around and joins at a certain point, if the borders of UV Map's are not extended to the end of the island, the texture on the models seems like a cut, which is awful. And when you do extend them, most of the times, you won't be able to pack UV's inside and island! And thanks for this wonderful tutorial!

[@tuantran-sb6ic]

thankyou for the video, i learn alot from you. Can i ask if this possible to do in cycle? i know the " shader to RBG" , in cycle dont have this node, i've been use the toon shader node, but i wont der if that was the correct way to do it, all i did is plug the image testure to the toon shader...

[@ComfeeMug]

@tuantran-sb6ic That is a really good question! If you are able to use the toon shader instead of the shader to rgb then I think that is an excellent option!

The NPR materials you created are the coolest I've seen, but I'm wondering.. would they work on humanoid models?

[@ComfeeMug]

@sechs6 Thank you so much, I'm so happy you liked them!! Hmm... That's a really good question, and to be honest with you, I didn't actually think about how this would affect skin-like materials. The smooth texture method would be your best bet if you wanted to try it for skin, but I do think a character would benefit from a dedicated tutorial for skin and other shaders and materials. Which is why I plan on making a full anime/stylized character creation course from scratch in blender in the future. It may be a little bit before I do that, but I hope you stick around for the ride 😁

I thought getting *90000* Assets from Hisanimation was the most important video I've ever seen 😳 Nah, this is unreal

@nkanyisoinnocentkhwane3752 Wow, 90000??? That's insane!!! I have no idea how my tutorial could ever live up to that, but I will endeavor to try 😅 Thank you so much!

@ComfeeMug I'm a horder when it comes to assets so being able to kitbash different things is such a time saver you have no idea 💚🙌🏾 Patreon worth every penny

[@mrblonde7688]

the only problem i see with this is how would you bake it :(

[@ComfeeMug]

@mrblonde7688 I am a little unfamiliar with the baking process. Would making image textures be easier? You could just take out the diffuse nodes and make image textures that way to just put into any other shader node.

[@mrblonde7688]

@@ComfeeMug I tried one method in which everything you have connected from nodes in eevee change to cycles and make it bake on a empty image, you can get a little bit the effect but it looks like if you would have washed your canvas (if this description make sense), anyways this is more a blender problem than anything else. I wish they could allow to bake shaders from eevee. I'm starting to like a lot substance painter for texturing is easier and you usually get what you see on the software

​​@@ComfeeMug nah i found ur channel when u had like 1K-2K subs i believe, but on this particular video i was the 199th person to like the video 👍🏼 regardless, the white noise tip is golden especially because it was used in classical art... anyways, will always support you bro ❤️

[@kitsunemusicisfire]

Its a really cool tutorial, and i love your work, but what's the point of making an anime styled game if you, ya know, dont want it drawn? What makes anime good is that it each artist has their own style and quirks to make it feel more personal and full of life. Not drawing it yourself kinda defeats the purpose.

[@avidadolares]

Re: animation, styles and techniques. This is not exclusive to "anime" and not sure why you insist on calling it an "anime style" (maybe thats your channel thing, plus for the algorithms-fyi, I'm new to your channel). The shaders give it a "Cartoon" effect" or just line drawing effect, which is more accurate than saying an "anime effect" since its not an exclusive "Anime" thing, which is just a subgenre style of cartoons anyway. The cheats used to get the parallax are used all the time in many cartoons and have been for decades (even in Bambi etc back in the 1940s) and didnt need to be 3D elements. So some of those elements in those example scenes are 100% not 3D (or need to be) to get that parallax effect...like the curtain of the train definitely isnt 3D.Its why there is a lot of grain/texture/noise in them as they are single painted elements on separate layers. *The seats yes, are 3D though. This is just a multiplane trick/cheat used all the time in many cartoons and even live action with plates or painted mattes (the original Star Wars used it a lot). You can get away with a lot with multiplane techniques of flat images. So using 3D can sometimes be overkill, and even detrimental to the scene if too realistic, for things that can easily just be a single layer flat image and cheated with multiplaning. I know this extends beyond maybe the scope of the video, but it may be misleading to those who think cartoons /anime need to use that much 3D in them. It really depends on the shot and what elements are in it, but 2D images could be used for many of these shots if done correctly with planning...and they are a lot more quick to do than modeling a 3D element that is only seen for a few seconds.

Back in the day, anime used to be cool. But then a bunch of millennial and z weebs came along and ran it into the ground and burned it out. You kids RUINED anime!
