i got this addon yesterday it's SICK. Completely transforming my entire workflow! I just feel like I would learn how to use it faster if there were some presets for all the shaders you showcased/the stuff in the web manual! Is there possibly a place where people share some LBS materials?

@LightningBoyStudio 2 года назад

That is a really cool idea! We were also waiting for the Asset Browser to be out so we could share some presets more easily, but it would indeed be super cool to have a platform where the community could share tips and presets. We'll think about it!

@enjoypaintmore3462 2 года назад

utterly amazing you have my money!! i would love to see some content on more angular geometry for this shader i'm pretty new to the whole shader world in blender & can get some pretty neat effects on smoother / organic shapes but i seriously struggle & are somewhat at a loss for more angular (i.e cubes) use with this shader as it throws up some unexpected results!!

@LightningBoyStudio 2 года назад

You are noticing something that is very real. In general it is way harder to get a good looking result with flat surfaces. Round shapes will always get more details with this kind of rendering technique. If you really want to use angular shapes, you could study video games or anime that used toon shading on angular characters, like robots, but even these robots usually have way more details than a cube, so they end up catching nice highlights.

@CharacterDesignForge 2 года назад

Thank you so much for making the LBS shader, and for everything you do. As I start out, with 2.1.1 loaded into Blender 3.0, I get some lights loaded but my world material doesn't change. I also get a console warning telling me that "light objects have been disabled blender". Any assistance on what's going on there? I would love to start figuring out the shading on an existing character but am currently stuck at this initial step. Thanks!

@LightningBoyStudio 2 года назад

Don't worry, this is normal behavior! All existing lights in the scene must be disabled for the Lightning Boy Shader to work correctly. Just make sure to switch your viewport to rendered view to see the sky gradient and toon shading!

@TotalDramaCountry 3 года назад

I bought the initial release of the toon shader and I absolutely love it. I'm excited to play around with this recent release! I do have one question that I've had for a while... I typically create the faces for my 3D models in Photoshop. Then, using Images as Planes and emission shaders, I place and animate the faces onto my 3D models (similar to Pokemon). Is there a way of incorporating the rim light and scene adjustment layers from the toon shader into those images' emission shaders? or maybe work images as planes into the toon shader? I watched your recent video on facial rigging, but I really enjoy using pre-made images and then images as planes for my faces. It would be world changing if you had any solutions towards blending the two together, and thank you again for such an amazing product.

@LightningBoyStudio 3 года назад

Yes! If you plug your texture in the color input of a "color" node, this will act exactly like an emission shader. You can also turn on the transparency if you need!

Can you make a video that shows how the crosshatching would look on a realistic 3d human figure? Would the hatching follow the contours of the figure's surface correctly (i.e. like how an inker would hatch a superhero character in the comics?)

@LightningBoyStudio 3 года назад

@@tommarvel9442 Yes, if you use the Hatch Style on an inverted Key Light, the lines will only appear where the shadows do. Then if you turn off Screenspace (using the UV coordinates instead), they will twist around the shapes pretty organically. It works well with any kind of mesh. You can even add another layer of hatch that's based on Ambient Occlusion instead, to have a different kind of hatch in the dark, deep creases and occluded areas.

Hello. 6 minutes 20 seconds part. In the area where the overall color can be adjusted using the C.R.G.B curve In the video, only the character mesh is adjusted.. When I do it, the ground plane mesh is also adjusted. what's the reason?

@LightningBoyStudio 3 года назад

If you apply a different Instance Name to the ground (using the empty black box with the arrow next to it, at the top), then you can change the color curves on your character without affecting the rest. Alternatively, you could give a specific Instance Name to all your character materials, and nothing else will be affected. We have a button in the LBS panel called Match Global Settings that lets you quickly change the Instance Name of all the materials on a selected object. Just make sure to create the instance name first, so it is available when you click the button.

To be honest, we are not fully sure. We built this shader using the nodes that are available in Blender so it would work in real time with EEVEE. When we saw that it for some reason doesn't work with Cycles, we didn't dive in deeper in the issue, since we can have the look we want in realtime, which is better for us.

Sadly, because Blender currently doesn't support light linking, it is almost impossible to use both the LBS and standard shaders in the same scene. When we build a scene, everything is using the Lightning Boy Shader

@energiesgraphiques 2 года назад

That's what I figured. But until light linking get featured in eevee, I guess working with multiple scenes (same elements, but different lighting in each scene) in the same blend file could solve this issue with a bit of composting. Thanks ! Maybe a tutorial about that?
