Thread 1017161

how the hell do i get the calligraphy line style to work on blender?
been trying to do it but it's not working.

>>1017161 (OP)
by not using blendlet

>>1017161 (OP)
Grease pencil lineart modifier I guess.

>>1017161 (OP)
what's not working about it? it looks like your model but drawn poorly

>>1017161 (OP)
try this

>>1017161 (OP)
This is how most anime styled models do it.
Crude but it works. The disadvantage is that the outline is in world space not screen space so the thickness depends on the camera distance. Sometimes that's wanted sometimes not.
I haven't tried figuring out how to fix that with geonodes but it's probably possible.

That’s not how anime is created in 3D, that’s blender limitations, unable to handle cartoons because it was never created for such things.

>>1017831
True, still works tho
Deemed good enough by basically everyone using it.
You can do something fancier with geonodes, grease pencil etc.

>>1017831
An inverted shell outline is a blender technique?

>>1017832
It’s “good enough” by cultists like you who never produce cartoons and claim nonsense about their rendering. Not realizing that a cartoon has many different elements besides looks that Blender can’t replicate.

>>1017836
is there just one enraged ESL that's rallying against blender on here or is it more than one?

Blender has a set normal node now. So there's no longer an excuse for not editing your normal(Which was already possible without the node. The node just make it easier.)

If you're doing a lot of custom normals work you probably want to check out https://x.com/AversionReality
He's working on a plugin that makes normal editing much easier, apparently

That’s from MHA an anime series, don’t get your point when people used Blender shaders and completely changed their look.

>>1017839
And you people keep saying stuff that doesn’t exist. Let’s not forget you Americans are the real 3rd world country with zero access to sending mail. No more cheap plastic bags for you basterds.

>I say cartoons have more elements besides looks
>Reference looks
Ya ok, keep believing you’re making cartoons and not add those loony details. I’m sure people will appreciate the lack of body proportion, the facial less of cartoons and the ability to deformed. Keep believing such nonsense.

>>I say cartoons have more elements besides looks
>>Reference looks
My bad, dog.
So what kind of proportions and deformation are Blender not capable of performing? I need an example, because I can't even imagine such a limitation for Blender.

Don't interact with the schizo

I really try not to, but he says the most outlandish things and I can't believe that, well, he really believes what he's saying
