Hey Everyone! Decided to compile a few shaders in Blender 3D with Eevee I use in my work and some from my tutorials. These are great if you’re trying to learn how to replicate 2d works in 3d. And they’re great for combining with grease pencil! Again, I’m sure there’s more optimal setups, but I hope you guys find this helpful!

And this method of shading is something Eevee does well but Cycles can't do. Specifically, (and simplified) Eevee can sample it's own results. This gives it the ability to use its output as input to itself. Cycles can't do that. At least not directly.

Hello there. I have an issue while applying these shaders. For example if I am creating a pillar which has much height as compared to length and width then these shaders work very different. Even if I am rotating that pillar 360 degrees then some faces are dark and some are very light. I think that maybe adding more lights is a solution but it didn't work. Hope I'll get solution from ur side. Thanks

@user-vj9ll1hm3h 6 месяцев назад

Hey buddy I have a doubt! First of all thank YOU for this tutorial. how can I make sure the shading changes with respect to where the lights are?

@Danny3vans Год назад

Hey, I was wondering, if I wanted to use the second shader for like a grass field, what would I have to do to make it ract to light sources, like the sun for example? because right now it looks like a plane with the colour gradient going from dark to light with a small part in the middle being the middle color

@kevandram Год назад

Hey Danny, thanks for your comment. As it is now, the shader will only react to light in terms of coverage, not color. If you want it to react to light sources, you'll need a more involved set up. For example, using an additional color ramp and mix node set to multiply or lighten on top of the original setup. For some great ideas, I'd recommend checking out Lightning Boy Studios channel. Hope that helps!

@joodasheq 5 месяцев назад

Hey, amazing tutorial. I have an issue though, I'm really digging the watercolor shader, but it doesn't come out like yours when I do it - it lacks these "brush strokes" that you have, it looks more like a more complex shader nr.1. Your colors swim into each other and the borders are mixed. Can you maybe explain what did you do to get that effect? I even left the original light of the scene (as I didnt see you change it), but I still struggle to replicate that particular look. I went in window by window in shaders and I think I have replicated the shader, but it still doesn't look like a watercolor. Which of the settings could I have messed up?

@Late_animation 2 месяца назад

How do you export the textures to other programs.. I have looked at so many tutorials and they are not explaining why the color ramp and shader to rgb are missing when you export the fbx to other programs… help🙏 Edited : head over to append and append any collection from your other blender files. Some guy from uni helped me figure it out

@the_stray_cat 7 месяцев назад

amazing video. but i was wondering how would i get it to responded to the change of color lighting? it is a bit of a waist of time if i have to go over changing every shader if i want it to match the mood from scene to scene.

@kevandram 7 месяцев назад

For that, I'd recommend checking out Lightning Boy Studio's channel. They have some great solutions on how to make toon shaders that respond appropriately to different colored lights.

Hi! Thank u so much for the tutorial! I have a question: can I put some uv textures into the model and at the same time use this shaders? cause when i put an uv texture it doesnt appears, i can only see the effect of the shading

@kevandram Год назад

Thanks for your comment and for watching! It depends on how you're using the shaders, but in theory, you could just mix the texture together with the shaders using a mix node and the mode set to Overlay or Screen. Hope that helps!

@lucianramos7582 Год назад

incredible, I put everything into practice and it turned out great. is there any way for the shader to interact with the color of the light?

@ahmetbaykara.mp3 Год назад

I'm looking for the same situation. I tried fake light coloring with mix node multiplying in the shader editor but it does not look like a light interaction. I can't find anything for light interaction on the web...

@kevandram Год назад

In a way with the separate rgb node and using mix nodes set to specific blending modes for shadows and highlights. I previously did an experiment in my Anime Inspired City breakdown if you want to see how I achieved it. For some ideas, I’d suggest checking out lightning boy studio’s channel for something more in depth.

@username30536 Год назад

This is the first shader tutorial that I followed that actually worked. Seems like every time there's an update everything breaks. Is there any documentation that explains exactly what each element does? For example, linear light vs multiply - it's great that I know what that does, but I don't know why it does it, which makes it hard to remember. Either way, thanks a lot!

@kevandram Год назад

Thanks for watching the video! I'm sure there is documentation for those specific Blending Modes. I'm generally going by other art programs with the same terminology. Multiply multiplies the luminosity of the blend color by the base color and Linear Light burns/dodges the colors by decreasing/increasing brightness.

@emmacharming9833 Год назад

Hi, i loved the third watercolor shader a lot and used it for my entire movie scenes. But i was planning to render them in cycles, since people suggest that saying it looks more professional when calculating lights. Is there a way to make it work with cycles too? I realized it too late and I am out of time...

@kevandram Год назад

Hey Emma, so sorry about the confusion. Does it need to be rendered out in Cycles? Since the direction you're going for is stylized, I don't know how much of an impact that switch would make. If you were going for something realistic, that's where you'd notice the difference. I'd stick with Eevee and up the Resolution % (in Output Properties) to 150 or 200 for more quality. If you want to switch to Cycles, it'd require a lot more effort to change the shader and achieve this look. You can use Toon BSDF (a Cycles-only shader) for a basic toon shader or go here for some ideas: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/33871/is-there-really-a-way-to-make-a-true-toon-shader-material-in-cycles .

@emmacharming9833 Год назад

@Kevandram Thanks a lot for seeing the comment and answering, it made me feel better 🤍 We have some UV textured parts, they kinda look better in cycles but I really do not want to give up on this nice textured look too. I'll follow your advice I guess and try some methods to achieve a better looking render with Eevee. Have a nice day ✨

Wow! Thanks for sharing this One quick question; I've been planning to learn Blender, mmm, for 6-7 years and I haven't started yet :)) And this video of yours make me hungry again. So my aim is to reach like this toonish, vector stylish and a bit isometric 3d style. Not planning to go polish renders and more. So question is, your grease pencil course fine for me? I've just open Blender 9-10 times and did nothing more for years. Even couldn't start with a cube. I'm a After Effects, explainer guy with an art and painting background. Sorry for the long post, many thanks. Update: I found the answer on your course page and there were suggestions.

@kevandram Год назад

So sorry for the late reply and glad you were able to find suggestions! TBH, I would recommend just learning Blender and working with meshes in a non photorealistic style first before grease pencil. If you come from an AE background, that knowledge might transfer over better to a mesh workflow. Also, I think that method works well with the isometric/toon style you're going for since it's more easily accommodates perspective. Grease pencil could be a good place to start, but it definitely geared more towards illustrators and animators. Hope that helps!

@hippie696 4 месяца назад

how do you achieve the effect of the watercolour brush strokes following the shape of the treehouse (emulating the wood planks) in the last shader?

Somehow when I try to render those. The rendered picture looks diffrent from the rendered viewport shader in blender. Any idea what the problem could be?

@kevandram Год назад

So sorry for the delayed reply. Check to make sure you're adjusting the shaders in Render Preview Mode. This will more accurately reflect what your shader will look like when rendered out. Also, check to see you don't have any hidden lights that could potentially affect the shaders. Hope that helps!

@1mzaidi 2 месяца назад

Do you find that your color palette is restricted by the techniques you are describing? I think the spooky house was very cool but generally I see grease pencil represented with pastel colors. Is there a reason for that? , can you recommend any artists that might be pushing the color schemes in a different direction?

@kevandram 2 месяца назад

Hmm, I think with any art program, it just depends on how you use it. IMO, I don't think it's restrictive at all, maybe in terms of functionality and UI which could use improvement. But as far as a tool, it's complete. If you look at the project videos on my channel, most of them incorporate grease pencil in some way. I just tend to lean toward bright/saturated colors. But, there are artists like Łukasz Rusinek (@yosifol on RU-vid) that go in a different direction.
