They are the best!

Thanks- theres a link in this vid description to a more elaborate tutorial regarding baking by creative shrimp. Maybe it could help solve the issue you are mentioning. Im not sure if the info is dated now though since blender 4 rolled out. I know a few of tge methods in this tutorial are no longer working in new version unfortunately.

Its called Noise Texture now. Had to look it up. I had the same issue.

I was wondering the same thing

Thanks! Ya I would love to hear more collaborations between the two- it's such a great track and a good matchup!

Thanks for letting me know! So you should be able to basically repeat steps but plug the bump or roughness branches of your node tree when baking your textures... If you can do diffuse it should work the same with those two... but newer versions of blender no longer have subsurface options unfortunately, so you will most certainly run into problems trying to modify subsurface using this method- sorry!

I love this!!! Glad to help!

Thanks so much! With the newest release, this tutorial could use an update, and I hope to make that happen in the not so distant future. To the best of my knowledge, in order to achieve something similar in 4.0 and higher, you would need to place a mix color node before the base color input of the principled BSDF, and run everything from the subsurface color portion of this video through the second input of the mix color (adjusting levels by adjusting the factor). You can still adjust the subsurface setting seperately below in the Principled node, as I am sure you noticed. Anyway, this is merely a quick workaround that can be substituted in order to still utilize this tutorials workflow. When I figure out a more comparable solution, I'll be sure to make a more complete update- thanks again for checking it out!

You a troll 🧌

I would suggest UV unwrapping a skin albedo texture or texture painting one and plugging that image into the base color slot.

@@MikePouch thanks for the help😁. Meanwhile i improved my knowledge on 3d realistic portrait creation and solved all my problems.

@@danielteixeira1400 haha, yeah - I saw it's been 7 months, so I was hoping you weren't still stuck!

That sounds like it must be frustrating - I haven't experienced a texture causing those sort of issues, sounds more like something caused by some kind of modifier on the model (like a bevel modifier or something to that effect). In my experience, this sort of complex procedural material is not great for very high poly counts unless its baked out, just because of the processing required- but the polygon issue sounds like it might be elsewhere in the pipeline- Hope you are able to figure it out!

I'm sure it would do something... Not sure if the results would be as predictable or useful - but I'm sure it would be interesting!

Thanks for the heads up. Updated.

HAHAHAHA great now I can't UNSEE IT

so when you rig in Character Animator, you must attach tags to elements of the face, such as the eyes, in order to use some of the functions such as "stare" "face" etc. There is no tag for ears, hence I put them both on the same layer and adjust manually. You can have two if you want, I just try to make things simpler when I can since this gets complicated down the line. On the plus side, you only have to make one eye and you can duplicate it once you have built the puppet and you can save time. If this is your first rig in character animator, I might suggest following a simpler setup to get used to the functions before diving into a more complex setup like this head turn. Good luck!

@@lazerslab thanks again for something simpler do you recommend something like adode after effects? And I guess what I’m trying to say about the head line is you said on the video you make it on top of the color to make it looks like it’s a hand drawn drawing I guess my question is why separate the head line and just draw them all together like you did with the ears.

@@JohnJohn-wr5he sorry I misread your first comment. Thanks for clarifying. The head shape acts as a mask for the entire face. In order for the face not to overlap the linework, I added the lines on a seperate layer here (they are above the face, so they arent affected by the mask). Since the ears are behind the head, they are not part of the mask and so do not need to be seperated. This was a stylistic choice - if you work with characters that have lines and masks, it can be a problem when a mask crops a layer, but there is no outline on it, which is why I did that. Hope that definitively answers the first question. For the second question, I just mean make a character whose head doesnt turn for starters in character animator (use adobe defaults) Once the principles make sense, this head turn should make more sense.

@@lazerslab thank you so much I’m going to definitely do that I have to show you my character I’m working on soon!

@@JohnJohn-wr5he Thanks! Glad to hear!

To put it simply, it is more comprehensive than diffuse bake mode. Watch Creative Shrimp's great baking tutorial linked in the description of this video. I speed through it because it is a large topic and other users have covered the details much better than I would. They are linked in description.

Nice! Glad it helped! Ya the switch template would be a good way to incorporate perhaps an x and y movement- In honesty though, I found that particular feature of J+S quite difficult to pull off. That plugin shines when it is tweening shape paths or layer parameters/ remapped footage. It's the best!

Yes- I actually did this drawing in procreate and imported to photoshop. There is an issue importing procreate .psd files directly into adobe programs though... adobe programs don't recognize the alpha channel from procreate... so there is an extra step to force adobe programs to recognize alpha channel - I go over it in detail in this tutorial: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb1gZ5mrl6qrn40.html

@@lazerslab thank you so much!

@@JohnJohn-wr5he You're welcome! Happy Animating!

@@lazerslab I’m really struggling with my lay out of my character set up on procreate. Is it a way you can check out my work to see what I’m doing wrong ?

Sorry to hear you are having some issues. I am not able to troubleshoot the file unfortunately, but if you have a specific question/ issue I can try my best to answer it here!@@JohnJohn-wr5he

Thanks!

Aw shucks! Thanks!
