A lot of normal editing videos out there are too long or complicated, so here's an extremely simple way to edit normals to emulate anime style shadows. Somehow even easier than the "easy" way I uploaded earlier. Easily exportable. External plugins are not needed (i.e. ABNormal). A file is provided for you to follow along or use for whatever purpose you want.

You can select the middle vertices and set them as sharp so they won't look wierd with the mirror modifier

This has helped me out so much! Such a great explanation. Quick question: do you recommend editing the normals before or after editing shape keys? Or are you constantly adjusting the normals as you go?

love seeing this tutorial with all default blender tools. only issue i'm seeing is the cheek side with the light on it has a reverse shadowed rembrandt triangle now. I think that can be removed in the shader though.

was wondering the same thing although i got no clue how u would remove that with the shader... kindly share pls :3

This is genius! Thank you. However, a question arises. How to make a smooth gradient?

@TimDownsAnimation Жыл бұрын

Very curious to see how you rig a face with that kind of topology. I know that in flat NPR shading like this, topo doesn’t really matter a whole lot in the same ways it would in other cases. But it seems very limiting for deformations apart from the mouth.

@mochyu. Жыл бұрын

I agree with you, and yes, for some reason, if specific vertices are moving, the shading is always broken. I hope there is a solution to that problem.

@brielviola5811 Жыл бұрын

@Mochyu I know of a way to fix this. You need two copies of the face mesh (I'll name them m1 and m2). You rig the m1 normally (with head and face bones and all) but for m2, you will only need to rig it to the head bone, no facial bones. After that, you apply the normal editing shown in the video to m2. You put a data transfer modifier on m1. On the modifier settings, point the source to m2. Check face corner data. Under face corner data, select custom normals. And select the mapping to topology. Hide m2 and you are done. The idea here is to have a main face mesh (m1) and a proxy face mesh (m2). The proxy mesh is the one to hold the edited normals and the main mesh will copy the normals of the proxy. The proxy mesh is only rigged to the head while the main mesh is fully rigged. This way, when you move the jaws or eyelids, the shading will not break because the main mesh is copying the shading from the proxy mesh.

i think the mouth like that , it has some beneficial for some mouth expression (wtf i cant even talk or choose word in here) like you can make the mouth super wide like smirking or wavy A or E ( i see some anime when they scream their mouth is A but weavy), and maybe :3 saving some poly count ?

what about shape keys :C? is possible make them without break the normals ?

@Damian_h 2 ай бұрын

bro did u find a way to combine this method with SK?. I tried to set up some face expressions with the basis custom normals edited but when i blend into the new shape key the normals gets distorted. I tried some data transfer to correct the shape key normals and it works but when i go back to basis now custom normals from basis are broken in a never ending loop any idea how to work with custom normals and shape keys properly?.

I cant apply modifiers because I have shape keys... What should I do? Anyway, can you do shape keys for facial expressions?

You could try the plugin SKkeep which allows you to apply modifiers even if you have shape keys

it will affect it. One thing i did was split the mouth section that is all triangulated subdivide the body to get that smooth result and re attach the mouth again then set the triangles around the mouth again.
