Bro you did a better outline effect than all the tutorials I watched, like simple, straight forward and even you can adjust it!!

@Entikai 3 ай бұрын

Yep, I haven't seen too many other people do the outline like this. Most people want the shader to generate an outline, but you can do it better yourself.

@@Entikai just use the solidify modifer

@DanySan550 3 ай бұрын

@@kenonerboy I like this one the most cause you can modify the outline for every angle posible, so it's easier to make it thicker or thinner as you desire.

@DanySan550 3 ай бұрын

Ok now I see some disadvantages, like when you want to change the shape of the mesh, you have to remake the outline or tweak it.

@Entikai 3 ай бұрын

Solidify modifier-based outline creates a lot of unwanted visual artifacts. In my other videos, many people have asked me how come my outlines look so clean. It's because I clean them up, lol. :D I do everything manually.

i think rather than retrying the texture in ilustrator, its better to make new UV it you want to reorganize it. then bake it using new UV, it will safe more time that way. Anyway, i really love the way you do the outline.

@WeyounSix 2 ай бұрын

I find it easier to get the toon outline mesh by using a solidify modifier with even thickness checked, that way your starting mesh will always be equally far from the inner mesh

@checksam 2 ай бұрын

Also want to add that you should duplicate your model for backup. After you apply your solidify tool, you can move the verts of the solidified layer to get an even stronger, more hand-drawn style if you don't want even thickness. Check it looks right / believable in a 3d space by constantly moving the model and camera around when doing this

Oh wow, this actually looks amazing! I would love to see something like that in more Videogames, it truely gives the Character something very unique :O (I know there are some games with toon shaders, but I have seen none that look this stable and drawn while turning the Character, usually it makes everything look weirdly flat or just ... 3D but Outlined, but this actually looks convincingly 2D. Genshin could learn something from this in my opinion)

Dude I've been searching for an effect like this for a long time. I knew about backface culling, but all the tutorials I saw did it in an automated way, which leads to ugly artifacts, particularly at intersections or complex shapes. I never thought to just do it manually. It feels so obvious now.

@Entikai 3 ай бұрын

Finally someone that understands why you want to work manually. Most people tell me I should just use solidify. Which, like you say, creates bad visual artifacts. Manual is the way to do it.

@Ribulose15diphosphat 2 ай бұрын

Two Things could be done easier: -The Black-Hull can be automated with the Solidify-modifier and a material offset. Only Drawback is, that every single material needs a coresponding black entry -The Texture-optimizing can be automated with Texture-Backing between different UV-Layers, so you don't have to shift the Artwork around.

That's an interesting way to do the outline (more customizable than doing it using Solidify and applying it as a secondary material) Multiple ways to do the job.

@Entikai 3 ай бұрын

Technically, Solidify and all of those paid Toon Shader Materials do the exact same thing but make it harder to customize the outline. And since I want mine stylized and cleaned up, I decided to ditch the Solidify and just do it manually.

I haven’t updated my blender yet because I am using a lot of third-party add-ons which takes some time to catch up with Blender’s updates schedule. So I’m always few versions behind waiting for my add-ons to catch up. But yes, eventually I’m going to switch to new versions of Blender.
