Doing it now might be a bad idea, I imagine these videos take a lot of effort since you have to watch Arcane with a keen eye, isolate details, conceptualize them and basically reverse engineer them to an okay workflow in blender and with Blender shifting focusing texturing and texture painting, it may all have changed at the end of the year to allow for a better workflow.

@@kieranidris1103 It is not a good learning process, why learn an obsolete deprecated workflow that has significant disadvantages when we know there is one being designed perhaps for the explicit purpose? You are fundamentally misunderstanding the situation if you equate rework to small incremental changes. This video in particular is basically exclusive to Blender.

@@TheLolilol321 Indeed, they're actually rehauling texture painting and how it works with Blender 3.3 on, taking out the current/old method in the process. Not sure how it'll affect how these will work in the future, hoping they do a follow-up to aid with the new texture paint implementations because this is amazing!

This is mindblowing. The whole thing is above and beyond, however, the one thing that I’m trying to come to peace with is that the EEVEE camera bake/quick-edit trick shown is incremental! It took me sometime to realize that it mixes up the incoming alpha information, leaving the transparent pixels from before untouched and all of that at the right place inside completely unwrapped uv… magic.

I used to do something similar years ago with ZBrush, there was an add-on that would help you bring a render in Photoshop and reproject, that's how we did all the textures for our short film Le Gouffre back in the days. But now I can do it right from Blender, how cool is that?

@joshpage4547 Жыл бұрын

The 3rd and possibly most dynamic way, would be to create 2 hand painted textures (one which is dark or default, and one which is light or colour dodge). Then inside blender's compositing, you create a live alpha texture to switch between the two based on a light's position. To get some randomness, you could distort the live alpha texture ever so slightly.
