REGARDING SABLE: Many comments mentionning Sable and suggesting that I check it out. I have tried to answer some of them but I'll consolidate everything here. I have played Sable before. I did intend to talk about it in the video, maybe do some sort of comparative analysis. In the end this project took a long time to make and I was getting tired of it, so I just finished and published the video, sans Sable. Art-wise, Sable looks great, definitely has a nice Moebius/Nausicaa feel to it, despite some compromises they probably had to make for it to work as full scale open world game, such as the treatment of lines, or addition of fog. They did a great job at making their style performant enough to render an actual game, which my prototype could not do (granted they probably had more time to spend on developing it than I did) Gameplay-wise, I was really excited to play Sable from the first day it was announced, and I think I even bought it on launch day. Ended up being a bit disappointed. Despite a few bugs and camera issues, the game feels a bit empty and it seems like eveyr time an NPC gives you a quest, you have to go on the other side of the world to find the one cave/tower/whatever where the McGuffin is, and then bring it back again. I'm not saying they're doing that to inflate the completion time, it's just a bit boring to me. I did not finish Sable, despite being a Sable preacher for litteral years before its release. Regardless, if you enjoyed playing it, good on you! I can totally understand that some people have different tastes than mine. Overall I'm really happy this game exists, it's always good to see some studios inovating in the rendering side (instead of chasing "more realistic" graphics)

I've always wondered how most filters that can completely change a scene work and this has certainly enlightened me

Dude, if you aren’t going to make a full scale game with this texture, you should release it to the unity asset store. Also, your videos are great!

High Quality dev vids like this deserves hundreds of thousands of subs.

Learning what Moebius's style looks like makes me appreciate how well the game Sable replicated it. I was almost fooled into thinking it was a Sable screenshot on the first drawing with his signature style. This video is really enjoyable and well-made so far!

I've solved the wrapping problem if you're interested. 1: you can triplanar project the textures and make their tiling frequency equal to a number such as 200, divided by the z distance to camera (you'll have to play with values). This makes the texture appear to be the same size from all viewing distances. You can also multiply by the focal length so that if you zoom your lines won't get too big. I've done this in arnold for Maya, but I'm sure it's possible in realtime. 2. You can use camera projection but add/subtract the root of the z distance to the U or V coordinate. (you'll need multiple texture sets for your positive and negative X and Y normals... Also I get good results using motion vectors to switch on per frame jittered UV offsets in the texture placement. Things that don't move will hold their hatching, moving objects will appear as though drawn anew each frame. Also if you have motion activated deformers to jiggle anything moving relative to camera you get the hand drawn innacuracy (also a little post process distortion can't hurt). With those modifications it'll be perfect. I generally use procedurally generated stretched noises to create the lines that have a lot of information so that I can blend them smoothly from 0-1 in luminosity, before choking them to black and white pixels.... Hope that all made sense

As a french guy who grew up with metal hurlant (or the us version Heavy Metal) I’m just so pleased to see so many dedication to fit Giraud’s style! THANKS!

This is not only a wonderful video on texture, color and 3d model processing, but an impromptu history lesson on an art style that I absolutely love and had no idea where it came from! Thank you!

It looks so good, i really like the lined shadows! Every frame looks drawn!

the reflections at 7:55 look sick, I think if you were to make a nighttime city track where you whizz past street lamps it'd look absolutely stellar

Have you seen a game called Sable? The art style was definitely influenced by Moebius. The Sokpop Collective games also have that hand-drawn feel, but it is more cartoonish, I guess.

As a massive Moebius fan and newly 3D sculptor.. I find this absolutely amazing. A lot if it went over my head, but I hope to come back when I've gained more experience. This is crazy.

Such a great video! Very informative and entertaining. I loved how you animated adjusting the properties (like the outline getting wobblier or the cross-hatching moving up the sphere).

Seeing this video when the channel has just over 19k subs just means that I am very early with discovering a youtube channel that is going to grow atleast to the hundreds of thousands of subscribers. The knowledge, the way everything was explained and the editing show potential only a few people have. Sebastian Lague is the person I instantly tought of when watching this video and I hope your channel will grow just as much!

I work with 3D architetural rendering for almost 15years and on my off time always wanted to achieve this kind of looks to my renders ( since I lack the handrawing skills). your approach to shadows was exaclty what I always wanted. now all I have to do is to somehow embed this in 3dmax+corona. great work! maybe one day I'll make it to my future creature batlle game too.

This is so cool! As an animation student I'd love to see a movie in this style

useless game dev??? I have a strange feeling, that this is going to be a revolutionary video inspiring others to try out these drawing-like renderers for games or even movies. Really great job.

i love how artsy it makes everything look! it's super unique and it feels like you're in a comic book. Even just the crosshatching would be pretty cool as a unity asset ❤

I have no idea how I found this. But I needed this. This is awesome and you have a great way of explaining and keeping it fun and interesting at the same time. Well done, sir!

That looks outrageously awesome. This is some sick work dude

I had no idea this was where the inspiration for Sable’s art style came from! I love how even the name of that game seems to be based on “Sobel”

this is really great. i have wanted to accomplish something like this for so long, but had no idea how. i especially love the crosshatch progressive shadowing! brilliant.

This art style is so nice. I would love to see more games like this!

Not only did you break down a super cool shader, but you did it in a way that makes shaders as a *whole* much easier to understand. I look forward to screwing around with these ideas to make my own custom shaders! great video!

Good job, and thanks for trying to reproduce Moebius' work in 3D. I really adore his work and like how your work looks.

This is so insanely cool, what an incredible video. Please consider releasing this publicly :D

Crazy how much just the shader of a game can influence it's appeal, looks so cool

I tried this 2 years ago and never got anything satisfactory. You did it in an 8 minute video. Soul crushing and great to see.

Fascinating! I love the color addition and removal as you go through the hoops. It’s so clear when you miss, compared to other games where this is indicated with audio cues or hud alerts. Beautiful

i can't believe you didn't mention Sable even once! great job btw! you can really boost up the shadows by making them have a blueish tint and desaturate the underlying color.

The color / b&w swap going through the archways is genius.

your style of teaching is incredible

That is a really cool effect! Id love to do more shader experiments like this.

This is amazing!!! Incredible video, and something I've never thought to do. I love your animation style, especially when your character walks across to different slides (1:42)

Thanks for that, and for knowing Mr. Giraud. Much respect and love from both France and Japan.

bro this is so amazing, i was shocked to see you had less than 100k subs when i scrolled down

Good work! In moebius work there isn't a lot of cross hatching though, and huge objects like your bg moutain would definitely have a vertical gradient. To show the separation between light and shadow you could just have a color change separated by a some little black dots/line instead of all this crosshatch. Good work again

Very neat shaders, I would only explore the scenery by car instead of racing haha

whoahaha these sound effects and small details are amazing, I like your style

I'm am very happy that you are getting so much traffic to your channel and videos!

I'm a simple man. When I find a channel with good humor, clear presentation, well written scripts, and a strong grasp of the material... I like, subscribe, and ring the bell. Keep up the great work!

I loved when Jean Giraud said "It's Moebin time" and Moebed all over those guys.

bro just casually made the best hand drawn looking filters ever, and a racing game too.

Wow, smart implementation, it looks so cool!

morbius shaders

It’s moebing time

I used to do a lot of Unity on my free time but over the years, I just stopped. Discovering your channel just gave me those vibes back again and it's so great. Your projects are awesome, your explanations crystal clear and the narrative is very well done, it's just interesting (on dirait le C'est Pas Sorcier de Unity ! :D) So thank you and congratulations, subscribed!

This was an awesome experience to watch, even for me who does not understand a thing about shader programming. Really impressive style + very pleasant way of doing the video

If you want an existing game heavily inspired by Moebius's artstyle, "Sable" is for you.

I love that part in Moebuis when he said "It's Moebin' time" and then he Moebed all over those guys

Awesome tech! That's why I keep learning CS related areas, making a world that can fully satisfied the visualization of my imagination, great work!

This video is really well done and explains the concepts in a way that makes it very easy to understand what the algorithm is actually doing. Knowing why code works the way it does is far more important than simply having access to the code (which is available all over the net). Good job on this one :)

Jean Morbius Giraud

That's pretty good. I nearly met Moebius once - I turned down a trip to Angouleme not realising that he was going to be there; turned out to be the last time before he died :(

We definitely need more moebius inspired media

Cross hatching following the curves of objects would really be the difference between really good and amazing. I can’t un-see how good that would be.

Thank you for the video! I have always loved this style and now you inspired me to try and implement it in my own game :) Really glad I found your channel

Amazing work! Very underrated channel. Subscribed!

Man there is so much knowledge and expertise people have when building games. I’m over trying to get inspired and build my own games, and I’m just seeing so much stuff I could do, but alas there is too much to do

wow the shadows and highlights on that tokyo drift at the end looked so cool!

What a beautiful interaction you got , man u got this 100k very soon

My new favourite game dev channel posting my new favourite style of dev videos about my new favourite aspect of dev (shaders) featuring my oldest favourite artist!!!! THANK YOU

“Although it might be feasible… not by me!” I feel you, bro! Hahah great video! Subscribed

Positively surprised by the quality of this content! Keep it up! Subscribed.

this looks incredible

Amazing work! First time got confidence to get into unity shaders, great work man

This looks amazing

Bless the algorithm for bestowing this fabulous video upon me! Really loved it ^^

Man you are awesome!!!! It is what I search!

This is incredible! Well done! I think this means someone like yourself could make Dune in Moebius' style as an animated film!

Amazing video. This channel is going to blow up.

I had this idea almost 3 years ago and i wished that no one would domit before me but.. i am glad you did

Wow this video blew up! Congratulations, you deserve it!

Woah, that looks so cool! You just gained another subscriber!

So interesting and well realised!! I wish you the best on KZfaq, you gonna become big in no time!

this is the first video im finding on this channel, literally my new fav channel you explain these concepts in a way that even i (minimal rendering/game dev experience) can understand and appreciate

OMG you are so underrated! This is such a high quality video!

This is the best I've seen in a long time!

This is not just an amazing video on texture, color, and 3D model processing, but also an unexpected history lesson on an art style that I absolutely adore but had no clue about its origins. Thank you for enlightening me!

This is a great video, I really love how you simplified the technical stuff and how the shaders work and made it easily understandable. I really appreciate the effort you put into that video.

This will be the best video ive watched this week

I am glad I clicked on this video and discovered this fantastic channel, you gained a subscriber!

Okay, so this is exactly what I wanted to learn about for so long now. Ty!

This video is sooooooo underrated!

Literally the best video on KZfaq ❤❤❤

My god you have no idea how much it makes me happy seeing the final product. This is frikkin amazing man. You are awesome and deserve more subs !!

shaders just change so much dynamic of a game even if it has nothing much to do

I love those arch transitions

Falling into the interdimensional void at least sounds like something that would actually happen in a Moebius comic

Hey, I'm pretty new to you're channel but It's so interesting and helpful to see how these shaders are made. Hope you keep up the great work!

I was looking at your video thinking "hey, fair enough, quite a good job." Then, your game steps in. 🧐 Still not impressed. Then, you moved. 🤯 KABOOM! I was blown away, I was teleported in Moebius artWork. So congratulations for your ideas and good work!

This is really impressive. I've just started learning about shader programming recently and the way you explain stuff is easy to digest and fun to listen to.

That crosshatch texture was so brilliant

SERIOUSLY! The crosshatch solution is insanely simple and genius!

Ohhhh i have been wondering for so long how to get to the Moebius look ! Thank you so much

Hot damn, I love Moebius. This is what I needed to start my day. Thank you!

How has so much talent only 8000 subs? This is incredible!

Really enjoyed this video. Even though I know nothing about 3D rendering, Moebius is my all-time favorite artist and your commentary was informative, high quality and entertaining.

I got so excited as soon as u said u can play this, it looks so satisfying and chill ♡

Wow dude this is a fantastic KZfaq video and what looks like series? Can't wait to binge the rest of your videos! Thanks for making them very clean organized and showcasing an extremely fascinating style!
