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.
@@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.
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.
at first by how it started i was worried this tutorial was gonna be "heres how to make a toon shaded 3d spider: first download a spider 3d model, then apply a toon shader" thankfully it was not that
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
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
Such a satisfying spider model. I don't know what's happening, but I'd like to. Looking forward to more tutorials, I love hearing you explain your process.
i absolutely love how the model looks! i love spiders and stylized 3D. i especially love the varied thickness of the outline. the eyes of the spider are so cute and the skull looks so cool
Entikai!! I’m obsessed with your work! I want to create a fishing game on Roblox, and it would be amazing if you could make a step-by-step tutorial for fish and fishing rods!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! And thank you about your suggestion, it sounds fun. Right now I'm working on another character. After that I'll decided what my next project will be. Kind regards.
Thank you for your content! Very inspiring work. My husband and I are making a game together. This toon style shading is exactly what I've been searching for!! I'm a traditional artist, new to blender. I've had a difficult time seeing how I could mix the 2 and you've provided the best example of that I've seen yet! Excited to see what you put out next 😊.
I'm really happy you found the content useful. I'm currently working on the new video and procrastinating a bit, but comments like these make me want to do my best. Good luck on your Game Dev journey, I'm hoping to make a game of my own in the future as well.
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)
I have been having such a hard time trying to get perfect out lines in the 3d viewport. the technique you used was absolutely genius.Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Hello! I'm a new subscriber! I've not done 3d modeling since 2012 when I was in Uni but I must admit I keep getting a desire to try it again to see how much has changed in 12 years! I'd love to be able to make something stylish like this, it's so cute. Amazing work! 🥰
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.
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.
wow i never thought of using another mesh for an outline lol, this might actually be more optimized than using a post processing shader for games too (not sure)
@entikai Thanks for this video! I love your workflow. I was doing the tutorial alongside but the material modifier panel look different in Blender 4.1. Like the specular has its own panel inside surface and I couldn't make it work. Are you planning on create a new step-by-step tutorial in 4.1????
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.
Hey I been stuck trying to make the leg at 3:05 for a pretty long time. I've tried mye best folowing what you said, but I cant manage to create anything near as good as what you made. There is also a cut where your leg changes and I have no idea what you did before that. Could you help me or tell me what you did or any tips or something? Cause i really want to make this model, but this part is runing it for me.
So for modeling the leg, the only tip I have is to keep at it. Eventually it will turn out good. You can also go to my ArtStation (google Entikai ArtStation) and then open the spider in your browser and use it as a reference. You will be able to view it in 3D so turn around and look from all sides. I hope that helps.
It definitely could. However, there is a trade-off. With the square UV technique, you lose the ability to draw curved lines. Basically you can only draw straight lines and the benefit is, you get infinite resolution on those straight lines. But you wouldn’t be able to draw the skull element that I drew on my spider.
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.
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.
Question: I'm pretty new to 3D, and I noticed you incorporated the over head highlight to the texture...could you just do 1 color and light the model in the scene?
I'm new to Blender and have only done the Donut tutorial so far. Do you think you could make a tutorial on how you handle the UV texturing part? I've watched a few tutorials, but none of them seem to match the way you did it. I've been trying to recreate the spider you made, but I'm a bit lost, especially with the second part of the legs (the banana-shaped ones with the extruded section). I’m struggling to put the parts together in a way that looks good, they never quite fit right. Do you have any tips that could help? Thanks!
So when it comes to Blender basics, I haven't really planned to make a tutorial on that, since there is a lot of that already on TH-cam. But it could happen if there is a demand for it from the community on my channel. Unwrapping UVs is one of those easy things, but kind of boring and repetitive to do. I think you will get a hang of it. Modeling the spider leg - yeah, that's the hardest shape to make, but it's not difficult. Just play with it until it looks good. And it's ok if your early models aren't perfect. Don't get discouraged. I have a hard drive full of my early models that look really bad since I didn't know what I was doing. But I just kept modeling every month and completing my models no matter how bad they looked. I also made sure to archive them so I can look back on my progress. It took me about 2 years until I felt like I've gotten good at it. But I'm still learning new stuff every day. Some people on TH-cam get good in 2 - 3 months, I'm a slow learner I guess.
Sir, will you do another episode for this, for the animation? So as you said in the video that the outlines are meshes, I wonder how to deal with them in rigging process and animation.
I am planning to do it. Rigging is easy. Both outline and the main mesh should have the same edge flow and should be weight painted the same way. So when animated, they move together.
I personally keep the mesh and the outline separate. Since the outline is pretty much a duplicate of the mesh, but slightly larger, you just have to make sure that the weight painting on both of them is identical.
I duplicated my mesh and scaled it up, flipped the normals etc, but when I go to material I don't see the back face culling anywhere, am I missing something? I've checked so many videos and I still don't see the option for me
I followed the tutorial and it worked really well but when I tried to rig the character the outline got influenced in weird ways. Could you make a follow up to explain the rigging process you used to make everything move at the same time?
Yep. The good news is, there is a way to rig this art style with no problem. I will very likely make a dedicated video explaining that process. It's pretty easy actually.
@@Entikai Does this method (duplicate the object, resize, flip normals, backface culling) work in Blender 4.2 Cycles? I followed your steps exactly and the backface culling is not working. I can't see through the object.
@@andrewmcintosh9832 It's possible that cycles doesn't support it, I haven't switched and tested yet. But the good news is, all the Game Engines do support this method and it works perfectly inside of them.
@@Entikai Thanks for the response. Yea you can achieve a similar effect with grease pencil but it doesn't work with the Panoramic camera so I ended up just using a curve for the edges. Doesn't look as good as your method but it will have to do.
Hmm, i haven't gotten to the point that i know how to function substance painter the same as something like illustrator, i know i can move things around but i don't know if i'm able to use the same level of vector detail in it. All to say, i know my UV layout before hand because i meticulously work on it so i won't have to do it again, doesn't always workout the way i want to because it is art, but usually it's in a good place. Very good tutorial, i definitely took some thing away from it (:
I noticed at one point that you selected two edges, and then filled, but then pressed something to fill the other areas around it? It was when you were outdenting one of the legs, so how did you do that?
@entikai hi i tried using ur approach but i have often lighting problems do you know a fix for that (for example because i cant post pictures here :P) when you create a ico sphere -> duplicate it scale it up flip normals and add the toon material - it will have many artifacts. Maybe normal lighting settings arent suited for this? Thx a lot for the video it helped me very much
Try this. Go to your material. At the very top of the material properties, there is a "Surface" field. It's set to "Principle BSDF". Click on that word "Principle BSDF", and a drop down menu should appear. Change it to "Emission". Change the color to black. I hope that helps.
noob question: when I do a subdivision modifier on the cube, the edit box stays in a cube shape rather than the subdivided shape as shown in 0:22. Is there a setting that I need to change to get it that way?
On the modifier itself, on the very top there is a button that has an icon of a square with 4 vertices. If you hover over it, you get a tooltip that says "Display modifier in Edit mode.". Toggle that button On. I hope that helps.
@@Entikai oh, sorry i meant the red box you have around the subdivided cube. mine still looks like an orange cube, rather than the red outline that flows around the subdivided cube you have in 0:22
@@Entikai oh wow! that's actually super neat, haha, thanks! By the way, this tutorial is amazing! thanks for uploading, it's the exact kind of style I've been looking to do for my games. I'd gladly pay for a series/course explaining more step by step on how this stuff is achieved (if you ever think of doing something like that)!
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.
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.
![Simple Toon Shader in Blender [Eevee]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qs4QUGKm6XU/mqdefault.jpg)
Bro you did a better outline effect than all the tutorials I watched, like simple, straight forward and even you can adjust it!!
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
@@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.

Speak for yourself dracula, I'm a fresh green newbie 😳
this is actually a nice tutorial for general modeling
and i have never seen anybode use backface culling for outlines
People use it all the time, but they use it with solidify
Its also common practice in roblox
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

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.
