Thank you! 😊😊

hello can you send me the blender files finished i cant replicate what he do ;(

Wah. Thank you so much SouthernShotty! 😊😊

I agree!!

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

Wah! I'm glad to hear that! 😊❤️ Thank you sm for the kind words!

share the file please. I would really appreciate it.

Aww. Thank you so much! ❤️

Wahh Thank you Magus! ❤️😊

@@tawansunflower is this a marriage proposal???

@@magusofarc1904 Nuhh Uhh

Hmm can you contact me on Twitter. I can look into it 👍

ขอบคุณครับบ ❤😊

Oh yeah. Initially, I thought I'd let everyone experiment with colors on their own, but Let me explain more on that part. Half-Lambert Shader The setup I have required a Half-lambert shader instead of Diffuse shader (Lambert shader) Half-lambert shader (shown in the video) allows us to play with the values in the shadow region. Unlike, a normal Lambert shader the shadow is not clipped to 0, so it goes negative. Then we map the value from [-1, 1] to [0, 1]. The node setup is the subtraction of two Diffuse Shader + Shader to RGB with one of them having the normal inverted (Multiplying the Geometry Normal with -1 using a Vector Math node) Colors Randomization My setup also have some color randomization to make the color not blocky. In shader editor, with another Attribute node with Type: Instance, Name: "random", you'll get a randomization of colors that ranges from [-1, -1 ,-1] to [1, 1 ,1]. So by using a separate RGB node, you will have 3 [-1, 1] randomizations for each leaves instance. I used those 3 to add some randomization to the value from the half-lambert shader before the colorramp and the others I used them to control the Hue and Value of the color after the colorramp. Hope this helps! If you have other questions, feel free to ask. 👍

I copied his exact setup. I just looked at the images he put up with the "Do it with me" Gumroad file. I was confused why it didn't look like his but then I changed the values to the ones he had and it worked!

@@samaluh hello can you send me your blender files on discord or other device please i cant replicate his color ;(

@@tawansunflower this might sound really noob, but, can you explain me how to begin creating the half lambert shader group because i cannot find the geometry node with the normal dot on it :/

​@@armandomantilla7995 You can find the full node setup of the half-lambert shader in the Gumroad View Content page (The place where you download the file). The node that you cannot find is most likely the Vector math node. The name corresponds to the mode it was on.

Thank you so much! You too! ❤️

Yeah sorry for the massive delay 😢 I faced some personal stuffs, but I'm back now ❤ The rain tutorial is next on the list 👍

@@tawansunflower Thank you very much for consistently creating detailed and interesting tutorials. These new methods are extremely valuable to me. Take your time; it's okay. I hope you also prioritize your own life.

Take your time bro. We are getting your fantastic content for free on KZfaq. We can afford to wait

This is awesome, thanks a million for this, now Imma subscribe to your channel

Thank you for watching the video! 😊❤ I do recommend learning the explaination of the nodes from KZfaq as I do that too 😂 You can also check the official documentation of the node on the Blender website by right clicking on a node and click Online Manual.

It's two Diffuse shader with one of them having inverse geometry normals combined together to enhance the range of the shading value. The details of the node is in the Gumroad download page 👍👍

Sure! 😊👍

I'm very sorry for causing some confusion on the shader part. 😭 I've updated the Gumroad product content to include the screenshots now. 👍 Regarding using custom leaves instances, I believe you have some leaves meshes with different color on each of them that ranges from light to dark right? Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I do really recommend using only one mesh though. But if that's not possible, you'll have to put the leaves meshes in a Collection, and in Geometry Nodes, you'll have to plug the collection (with Separate Children and Reset Children turned on) to the Instance on Points node with pick Instances turned on. And then you'll have to find the dot product of the relative location of your light source and the object's normal which will give you a float value (it will mimics a half-lambert shader but in geo-nodes), then you'll have to map the float value from [-1, 1] to [0, the amount of leaves meshes in your collection - 1], and then plug the mapped float value to the Instance Index input of the Instance on Points node. This will change the meshes of the leaves based on the shading of the object. As I'm writing this, I think it's very complicated. 😂 You can always contact me via Twitter if you need further assistant!

@@tawansunflower wow, that's amazing, I see the screenshots are up already. Thank you so much for the help! And thank you thank youuuu for the tips, I'll try and play with it. It is possible for me to use only one leaf mesh, but I have been trying to see if there was a way to do it this other way instead. (It's because I draw trees, leaves, plants etc with watercolor in different shades, and in many months of experimentation, this is the closest i've been to a satisfying result!!) Again thank you, it does sound complicated, but you've given me some awesome pointers. I hope i can make it work now!

@@MolleMuus Woah! I'd love to see the result of that! Actually, with one leaf mesh, you can change the texture of the leaf in the shader based on the value of the light and shadow, so you don't have to deal with multiple meshes. It's like changing the colors of the leaf with a color ramp in my video, but instead of colors you can use images instead, so you can map those images to different values of the shading. That should work too. 👍 I'd love to see how you shade the trees, and it would be awesome if I can help you make it works in 3D too. 😊

Thank you!! ❤️ The song is from 騒音のない世界. They make amazing music!

@@tawansunflower thank you so much! you are also make amazing tutorial! love your video!

Thabk you so much! ❤️ Regarding the nodes, make sure you're in the shader editor. You can directly search for Shader to RGB (fyi it only works for EEVEE). For the multiply Add and greater Than, those are part of the Math node 👍

Found my answer in Gumroad ;)

Thank you! I'm not sure about the problem you are having. Can you dm me on twiiter? I'll take a look at it 👍

Sorry for the late reply! The cube was plugged into the Leaves input of the Leaves node group. 👍
