will it be possible to do this with any texture?😮

Something that is worth noting is that many anime actually already use photorealistic textures as they are in backgrounds, and depending on the style you're going for it might not always be necessary at all to stylize your textures :)

>Comfee Mug uploads. We will be there, no matter what!

The "noise" you see in (at least older) anime is the paper grain from the paper the images were drawn on, so if you want to reflect that you could use a paper texture rather than noise for the final step.

Bruh, you truly are a magic mug man. I’ve never even thought about seeing if there was a way to change realistic looking textures to stylized, and yet you have a tutorial for it, awesome!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="340">5:40</a> - When making light falloffs with color ramp, instead of stretching node, it's often much easier to multiply input color by some value greater than 1 (e.g. using mix color node set to multiply). There will be 1 node more in your node setup, but it will drastically simplify gradient fine-tuning. Make sure not to multiply by extreme values, because it affects how much light is needed to get nice highlights.

I was finding tutorial to learn this cause i saw some timelapse videos where they used this method. To my surprise i see comfees video on this posted 15 min ago😂. What a coincidence waiting for your complete tutorial series. ❤

This is gonna save so much memory compared to generative methods

Nice one. I also always try to convert the PBR to NPR (I really like doing that). nice video.

I have floundered around trying a bunch of different ways to do this in the past, this is just a lot more simple than anything I came up with that actually looked good. Also, If you didn't want to change all of your shaders to add the noise, you get almost the same effect if you do this in the compositor. BUT, depending on how you are mixing 2d vs 3d that might not be the best way of doing it!

thats awesome! i was looking for this ages.

Thank you so much for this video!!! This was exactly what I needed for my project LOL.. doing awesome work Christian!!

You’re genuinely a gift to the blender community! Keep it up 🎉🔥

seems like this one's gonna be awesome...as always mr. mug surprises us with cool stuff ^_^

Been looking for something like this forever. It’s really powerful

Very nice 👍🙂 I usually just threw the color image into a Mix color set to multiply with the [Diffuse>Shader to RGB>Color Ramp] into the factor, and some shading color in the left over socket. This looks a lot better in terms of results, nice work 🤗

This is the first video of yours that I have ever watched, and you have earned a new subscriber.

Your channel is a literal gem

I have seen so many channels, but you are really something else, stupendous. I request you- Please upload at a faster rate 😝😝

No seriously no i cant believe. I have no words for your appreciation, aeriously this will be insane

My dream is finally come true because i always want a tutorial like this.thank you so much Comfee Mug❤❤❤❤

Dayummm this is such a game changer for my projects! Thank you mann

Seriously impressive. Thank you so much. I use Blender a lot, but since i hate procedural textures (they look bad when i make them), i always use texture paint which is a pain in blender

President Joe Biden has announced that Comfee Mug's new video will be top priority for Congress, eagerly waiting tomorrow for the release. "It's simply amazing," says Biden, "that you could just make an anime-style shader in Blender from a photo-realistic image." No further information from Speaker Mike Johnson have been forwarded, but we will update on this exciting news as soon as we can.

Exactly what I need to know 💥

love how professional this is!! Keep it up!!

/*takes a massive sip at the comfee mug exquisite content*/ another jolly good serving my good Sir

thanks again magic mug man

Unless you plan on just rendering still images i wouldnt use so many nodes to modify the look of the original texture (since you will most likely have dozens if not more of these active on a single scene at the same time). The more complex your shader is, the longer your animations will take to render (assuming you render anything longer than a minute). For an animation studio i think it would make more sense to open up an image editor and spend less than a minute posterizing the image to reduce detail and adjust the levels to fix contrast. You could even automate this with a script to do this operation on loads of diffuse textures in an instant. Of course i would still add the noise and other generated effects with the shader nodes since that fine detail gets lost with bitmaps once you zoom in.

I think this has been one of the very best tutorials I've encountered so far And not because it's comfee mug we are talking about, but how he really sits down and like relates to the things we want to achieve then makes a tutorial about them Very many thanks from me and from those who can relate with me From the so many textures out there, there's finally a way to integrate them to the anime vibe

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="335">5:35</a> a useful tip here to have color stops not quite as bunched up in situations like this is using the Map Range node before the color ramp. Then you can convert the 0-0.2 range you're actually using to 0-1, and get use out of more of the color ramp's range without having to stretch the node.

You're the best!

Thank you again 💕

I would love to see a video where you combine all the techniques on your channel and create a full scene

I had the same feeling with the noise, especially with 80s and 90s anime sometimes even having chromatic aberration, so I added it all in the compositor, but that white noise tip is great for more control!

it's the "heheh" laugh at the end for me

literally tweaking i want this tutorial right now

thannks u da best keep it up ur a grate help u da best

감사합니다!!!

You are truly good at it. Thanks for sharing . Hope next time you can show many more good stuff. For my personal request, I would like you to show us anime fire, rain and character shader if you can share. Wish you good luck and more successful in life.

really awesome video. what if i wanted to export this in other softwares like unity? would i have to make the shader on unity instead? or is there a way to "bake" this shader into a material?

man this is very helpful will you do any 90s anime tutorial in the future?

Finally wait is over and I meet my good teacher

Thank you so much! It is literally what I was looking for but I have a question. Does it work with textures with base color and emission, like lava? I am tryin but I cant connect them properly

Will these nodes will work if we export it into some game engines?

Huh, maybe I'll use this as a texture for Splatoon weapons in my renders

which version of blender did you use> why i cant open your files?

thankyou for the video, i learn alot from you. Can i ask if this possible to do in cycle? i know the " shader to RBG" , in cycle dont have this node, i've been use the toon shader node, but i wont der if that was the correct way to do it, all i did is plug the image testure to the toon shader...

Great video! Could you make one about different methods for making shadows look good on characters? The biggest issue with animating 3D models in a 2D style is the shadows the on the character. Theres many methods like custom normals with the abnormal addon, the geometry nodes custom normal setup the dillon goo studio uses and also masking textures to decide where shadows should be but theres no tutorial covering them and easy setup

Can you make a video on texture tiling if possible? I think it would go really well with this tutorial. Because, when you have a model that circles around and joins at a certain point, if the borders of UV Map's are not extended to the end of the island, the texture on the models seems like a cut, which is awful. And when you do extend them, most of the times, you won't be able to pack UV's inside and island! And thanks for this wonderful tutorial!

The NPR materials you created are the coolest I've seen, but I'm wondering.. would they work on humanoid models? I am referring to skin, hair, eyes, etc. I think for hard surface objects it's great but not for organic beings, I'd like to see how you create NPR materials for characters, I think that's the real challenge.

what do you think is the best way to make this into a game engine? I am thinking baking it. and another cool way I use is use painting filter on photo editor it works the best when applied to normal maps

light is affecting my textures too much any tip on this? shadows make base diffuse image texture dissapear into color, and light shows them up again

Can you tell me how to use effects in Grease Pencil?

Ahahahahaha. Just what I needed.

😢😢😢comfe I can't open the file that was in the description it helps me?

Any tips on achieving that MAPPA look

In next video you can make japanese roof texture

I thought getting *90000* Assets from Hisanimation was the most important video I've ever seen 😳 Nah, this is unreal

will this include shadows?

the only problem i see with this is how would you bake it :(

hol up-- we can stretch the color ramp??????? gamer changer

Christian = The G.O.A.T

Its a really cool tutorial, and i love your work, but what's the point of making an anime styled game if you, ya know, dont want it drawn? What makes anime good is that it each artist has their own style and quirks to make it feel more personal and full of life. Not drawing it yourself kinda defeats the purpose.

i'm like number 199 😂😂😂

Re: animation, styles and techniques. This is not exclusive to "anime" and not sure why you insist on calling it an "anime style" (maybe thats your channel thing, plus for the algorithms-fyi, I'm new to your channel). The shaders give it a "Cartoon" effect" or just line drawing effect, which is more accurate than saying an "anime effect" since its not an exclusive "Anime" thing, which is just a subgenre style of cartoons anyway. The cheats used to get the parallax are used all the time in many cartoons and have been for decades (even in Bambi etc back in the 1940s) and didnt need to be 3D elements. So some of those elements in those example scenes are 100% not 3D (or need to be) to get that parallax effect...like the curtain of the train definitely isnt 3D.Its why there is a lot of grain/texture/noise in them as they are single painted elements on separate layers. *The seats yes, are 3D though. This is just a multiplane trick/cheat used all the time in many cartoons and even live action with plates or painted mattes (the original Star Wars used it a lot). You can get away with a lot with multiplane techniques of flat images. So using 3D can sometimes be overkill, and even detrimental to the scene if too realistic, for things that can easily just be a single layer flat image and cheated with multiplaning. I know this extends beyond maybe the scope of the video, but it may be misleading to those who think cartoons /anime need to use that much 3D in them. It really depends on the shot and what elements are in it, but 2D images could be used for many of these shots if done correctly with planning...and they are a lot more quick to do than modeling a 3D element that is only seen for a few seconds.

Thanks again, Christian!
