I kind of understood every word separately. and then my brain went on strike. lol
Dude, i just wanted to let you know that this is probably one of the most isnpiring things i've ever seen done until now with Geometry nodes, Shaders, Math etc. Following you since i've found your painterly shader and was wondering if you would try something more complex with it. Glad i was right :)! Really amazing stuff! This solution is far superior to the older one, but the older one has probably set you up to create this. Now... we just need a printer from geometry nodes for real life!
Thanks for the support! I appreciate your kind words. Cheers!
Geometry nodes are basically the reason I gave up on learning blender, it's like learning mandarin. But when I see your gumroad I realise it is a blessing that you genuinely make it accessible for anyone willing to at least try expressing ideas.
You don't have to learn Geometry Nodes, other than the basics like scattering sugar on a donut. There are many more things you need to learn first, like basic modeling, lighting and so on.
@@erik.... You're right, I believe the frustration comes from simply being too impatient to reach a remarkable and worthy level while using the coolest addons combined w/ basic knowledges
stick with it. I struggled with geo nodes. you just gotta find good tutorials.
@@pianoatthirty I wouldn't say it's a waste of time. There are many simple every day things you can do so much quicker in GN than regular keyframing. But there's a difference between basic understanding which will take a few hours for someone who already knows Blender, and advanced use.
I feel like I'm just going to skip geometry nodes. Yes, they look awesome. But there are so many other aspects which I would like to master (and which confuse me far, far less).
This is truly one of the most creative things I've seen in a blender video. The fact that each stroke follows the form is truly remarkable. Maybe I'm over reacting a bit, but I've been using blender for roughly six months and I've never thought you could do something like that
How taxing is this for animation? How are render times vs less complicated scenes?
It definitely depends on the scene, but the overall tax on your system is not that bad. I have a laptop with a 2070 max Q and my times were only maybe adding 5 seconds per frame with good settings
Im starting to think just straight up learning painting would be easier-
Oh wow, I need something like this for c4d- wonder if I can reverse engineer it. A few things here Cinema4d doesn’t have 😢
不明觉厉（Admiration arises despite my incomprehension of what you said. ）
So jealous you got the joy of making this work so good! Amazing to witness your journey to this point 😁
Definitely couldn’t have done it without your help!
It is totally beyond my comprehension how you even came up with this. Genuinely amazing
Maximum nice :D
Bro when you said "Let''s go back to the dark ages of 2019" and the will smith slap showed up it almost game me a heart attack!! I seriously thought that was in 2019 for a sec lol
hi, I'm new to geometry nodes and tried following along with this, I have all the nodes configured but when I'm rendering it the paint strokes all show up as black unless I'm in the HDRI view. I feel like its missing a simple setting. Maybe I tried diving into the deep end straight away but any advice for this ? thanks
Yes! You just need to enable reflections and refraction in the render settings. That should fix your issues.
hey hello, im trying to follow the tutorial but there is a part where you add the "Interpolate Domain Node" but I cant find it anywhere, I do have the node wrangler but still there is no way for me to find how to add that node, any help??
Hey sorry, blender changed the name of that node. It is now called “evaluate on domain”. Not much I can do about blender’s recent changes. It should still work!
A while back I tried to create a black and white pencil scribble look with freestyle lines and the compositer, it worked quite well but the scene had to be done in a specific way, especially the lighting. I get so many new ideas how I could improve on this idea by seeing this
Share it
@@aaronmarkstaller always wanted to but its quite a mess and I have to get it right and cleaned up to be shareable
Don't show this vid to the producers of the movie 'Loving Vincent'.
They might develop severe brain aneurysm from banging their heads. They would also disturb the neighbors from all the "WHY!?!?????" shouting.
LMAO! Incredible stuff! Will buy on Gumroad now!
I've never used blender, but I am a painter, and this looks amazing. You really understand how painters think to create this stunning effect 👏
amazing bro. This opens up so many possibilities and applications. Keep up the good work. Do excuse me while I head over to the 'subscribe' button. Thanks so much.
Yeah Maxom cannot keep up with the blender community, cant wait till blender becomes the standard
Are you ok? this is sick. can't imagane the scope of work, but I really want to use this shader for my works, even though I'm not blender user
yeah i was doing something similar last year in order to create my own, congratulations :)
lovely, it looks like thick acrylic painting... now do watercolor pls :D
Do you think with quite a bit of tweaking, this could be used to generate procedural handwriting? Input text, fiddle with settings, and output the design?
I guess it could, but honestly I think there are probably better ways to do that in geometry nodes with just curves instead of a filter like this.
100/10 All the power is in those nodes and you managed to connect all the pieces!
hey i know you
@@acloudyskye hey I know *you*
@@sanjaux 😱
“Sounds easy, right” No, it actually very much does not sound easy
really amazin thing man.. thank you for diving so deep into it
I'm trying this tho, I'm a super beginner but the heck I'm trying it!
nah man, i'd rather buy
Wow. I have no idea what all of this mean. Well, i subscribed noneless.
I went from "This would be a cool thing to copy and use for some neat renders" to "Yeah, no, I already have no idea how geometry nodes work so I'm not making this"
Well, congratulations, now compositor is coming to viewport.
you did it, because you are a genius, with this approach you would have painted it with paints :)
incredible, I will for sure buy it soon and replicate too, to understand better what you did, thanks :)
th-cam.com/video/6uaJ0L4E390/w-d-xo.html been looking for this ;type of setup for a while. Im going to see if I can get this sort of thing working in houdini
wooouuoooOAOOo! bravi bravo ! i have to pause the video at 3:03 ! and gives you a huge thumbs up congratulations for the " KEEP ON THE GOOD VIBES TRYING TO ACHIVE SOMETHING THAT IS THERE ALMOST THERE, NOT YET THERE YOU GOT IT BRO ALMOST HUM... YES ! THAT'S IT !" felicitations !!! can't wait to experiment with it ! merci!
yann
I highly recommend you to collaborate with some game developer to incorporate this into their shader functionalities in the game engine. I've been looking for something like this very long and I truely believe this could be (if viable at reasonable frame rates) the key to a massively successfull indie game project.
This is an awesome video, but I have a question. Did you deepfake yourself at the start? There's something weird going on with the reflections in your eyes that bothers me quite a lot and I've only really noticed that in deepfakes.
😂😂 truth is I used nvidias new eye contact tool. It isn’t perfect and I didn’t have it on for the whole thing. There was just parts where I couldn’t seem to get my script down without looking back and forth between my computer and camera. You’re the first person to notice! Congrats! 😂
@@Tradigital hahahaa I KNEW SOMETHING WAS OFF. Nice use case though, it actually works quite well, especially for being such a new tool.
May I know what is the difference btw "Blender Live Paint Filter" and "Blender Illustration Shader"?
Hey, the blender illustration shader is a material you can set on individual objects in your scene. It is quite taxing and can take a while to set up. The live paint filter is a camera filter that will take whatever is in the scene, and make it into a painting automatically. This includes the premade materials and that are already applied to the objects in your scene. Watching the how to’s of both products on TH-cam will help better understand the difference
"In just six node"
😄
"... groups"
🙁
😂😂
Please full Tutorial 🙏
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FORHOW TO DO A CAMERA FILTER TY
Veeery nice work, and thanks for explanation of ideas behind the result.
Will it work extremely slow with many objects due to slowliness of GP outline construction?
It all depends on your system, but yes, the more topology your scene has, the more expensive this will be on your CPU.
Amazing work, u da MVP.
I already bought it, and now I feel like a got a great deal. Everyone, pay this guy. He earned it.
5:31 I'm sorry, but what is that *0.1?
I can't find it anywhere in geometry nodes
Sorry, it’s just a basic math node that is multiplying the input by 0.1
@@Tradigital thank you so much, you are amazing =)
You`re real monster, man! Not from this planet?
I have a lot of paintings that I want to turn into worlds. How tf I do that with the colors and shit
the first attempt reminds me of the ingenious cloud rig that was used in the Paths of Hate from Platige Image..from 2010-11
good video
I was already quite impressed 1 year ago when i saw your previous version. But this....
That is pretty impressive. Well done.
Oh that’s crazy! I know a guy who worked on the dam keeper! I should share this video with him ^^
This is extremely cool. I'll try to learn this, and if i get this to work, i'll definitely check out your gumroad, since ..this is huge. : )
how do you hide node sockets? (figured it out, it's CTRL + H)
and how do you make node links straight like that?
Hey it is a setting in preferences called “noodle curving” I believe. Just lower that down as low as you can and they will be straight.
@@Tradigital thanks babe
I have diligently recreated the node setup and took the time to understand the method. Yet no matter what I do, I can't seem to make it work. I'm ten hours in at this point, and I think it would be great if you could just put up a download link for the .blend file of the basic version. Or, if you'd like, I could send you my .blend file, and we can figure out why it doesn't work?
Hey! Definitely send it, I’ve already had a couple of people do that. Just send it to my email “alanwyatt421@gmail.com”.
It’s most likely an info node not set to relative, or a misspelling of an attribute.
Hey , thank you so much for the great video , it's one of the best i saw to learn new things on geometry nodes !
Also i got a problem : the strokes don't "stick" with my group collection, (as you do when playing with the map range at 6:26 ) they don't work with my geometry even if i did all good , i searched from 2 days how to fix that but i can't found out .
Also i don't get the "scale" and "rotation" frames frome the "stroke/scale rotation" frame but i don't think it really matter (am i wrong ?)
Sorry if i bothered you , keep going ! your work is amazing !
Hey! Not sure what is happening. You might need to send me the file to see what the issue is. It’s hard to know exactly what the issue is here. Message me on Twitter or email me at alanwyatt421@gmail.com.
This is crazy good
Is it possible to import a object an make this nodes on it? And is it possible to render an animation without the flickering-effect in 2:47?
Nice work!
Yes, it will work on any object you have in your scene. The flickering is not actually possible to remove though. You have to think about this if it was a real painting for each frame. Think more like stop motion and less smooth animation. Check out Loving Vincent if you haven’t seen this effect before.
Very cool. If you used a simple envmap shader (similar to a matcap shader in Zbrush) using an image of a tangent spaced normal sphere, could you sample the colours from the scene with it applied to decide direction of stroke?
Great video btw I've liked and subscribed 👍
So at the moment it only uses the mesh contour and crease to apply the stroke direction, I also have an option for point light cast shadow lights, but it needs the light data to work. So an environment map would not add any additional direction, but the colors should display through the filter.
I tried to figure this out but didn't get very far - I'd really like to feature the canvas close up, maybe at an angle with a shallow depth of field, as it it really shows off the fact that it is a 'real' object with thick oil strokes (as opposed to some sort of 2D filter', but it seems everything is set up to project from the camera's view. Even if I create another camera to view the canvas up close, the strokes disappear as I get closer/off axis - any ideas?
Yes that is a bit difficult in live view. One thing you could do is purchase the advance version on my gumroad. It has a baking option so you can render out the base color and normal map of the painting and then apply it somewhere else for the off axis photos
Dude, the result is truly remarkable!!! But how you actually make same type of effect in compositing(Nuke, blender, after effects)? I couldn’t find any tutorial on that topic
Yeah at the moment this requires geometry data so it can’t really be done in compositing. I have created a image to painting tool that you can also find on my gumroad. It isn’t perfect, but it can be used as a separate compositor after you render out.
I mean. Just great work. That is what i mean.
Bravo dude, holy cow.
Nice results. Reminds me of the paint stroke filter plugin I wrote for Lightwave...23 years ago. 🤔
This is one of the most impressive things I've seen done in geonodes. Way simpler setups already look like magic to me, but this is something else. Outstanding procedure and outstanding result!
whoa, I lack words to express how I feel right now
Hallo! Is it possible to get access to your gumroad from Russia? I want to try making this shader, but I can't buy a tutorial😅
Sorry, I can’t really help with that much. You could try blendermarket, but if gumroad is already not working then it probably won’t make much of a difference. Email me at “alanwyatt421@gmail.com” and we can discuss this more.
You genious
One day, when it's your time to go into the ground, and all of your family are surrounding you holding each other's hands for some reason... You're going to think back at all the time you spent on this.
Worth it 🤌 😂
Very impressive!
I assume, you using distorted object uvs for smearing colors in strokes on surfaces in your other project. Is this method with plane faster?
Yes, correct. Since this does not require the shader to be on every single object in the scene, it does compute much quicker then the illustration shader.
My God!!! I LOVE it! Subbed!
Thanks for the explanation and nodes setup. It will be very interesting to play with them.
Bro you're literally beyond normal human to figure this out. Respect!
Damn that's such an awesome use of Geometry nodes... Well done!
Hi
I purchased this add-on and going through the settings I want to understand what determines the direction of the brush strokes?🤔
Thank you 🤝
Hey, if you watch this video all the way through then it will explain it a bit more clearly then I probably can through a comment, but basically the geometry nodes are creating line art from the scene collection you input and then the strokes density, scale, and direction are all influenced by the line art.
this is to advance for me. i skip it
I get it, the files are on my gumroad if you are interested in still using it without the hassle.
Seen it several times, i get the concept and idea which is very difficult i think and my respects for solving all the problems along the way and you look so relaxed...jeje...anyway, congrats for what you've done! it's amazing! :D
This is erindale-level stuff! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding! As someone who’s still at the frustrated stage doing even quite basic things in Blender, I have huge respect for your skills *and* perseverance 👍👍👍
hahahahahahahaha, are you serious? this is a joke right?
This is absolutely beautiful!
Really cool stuff, Alan! Your patience and determination eventually paid off. I can relate to the trials and tribulations here also the out of control GN network. 😁 This is such a fabulous result. Thanks for sharing.
wow this is sick
thank god i found your channel
You, good sir, are just the best :O
Absolutely gorgeous! i really like! and i have a project that i need this kind of esthetic i will try it out.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This is excellent, I bought it :). I love your positive and calm demeanor :)
That Is Crazy ..!
crazy work brother, but you lost me pretty quickly since i am not that deep into geo nodes, but i remember that i just pay money for add ons in a similar fashion XD But really nice that you put this inofrmation out there, and eventhought i don't understand everything i can feel your passion and joy from solving a complex task and sharing it with the world! This i can resonate with 100%. Keep it up!
This is amazing! Is there a chance you are working on a filter for a watercolor effect?
I have had people ask for that, I plan on doing it in the future but at the moment it isn’t something I am working on.
This was frickin' cool!
bro got no chill
You Genius I am buying this ❤
Absolutely crazy and amazing
Gotta appreciate the absolute mountain of work it takes figuring this type of stuff out. I've spent years of time into tinkering in 3D software over the years, and still this is some of the most impressive and inspiring work I've seen. Now best let that hair you ripped out grow back for a bit
Amazing possibilites with this thing! How do you get the group inputs from Camera Res X, Camera Res Y and Camera FOV in the Canvas group?
It is just a group input where you have to place them manually.
@@Tradigital Ok, so in the input I have to somehow manually link the camera properties into the node, am I on the right track?
Yep, if you are using a group input node, just go to the modifier properties panel and you can input the X/Y resolution as well as the FOV.
@@Tradigital Ok sorry if I'm being dense but i really can't seem to find a way to import those properties from the camera into the node group input. In the panel i can make an input and give it a value, but it's not reallhy linked to anything just whatever value i give it
Ok, bought it I'll figure it out soon enough
impressive!
WOW! Amazing solution to a problem inspired by the beautiful The Dam Keeper.
Your editing and narration are aces, too. The 2019 montage and your reaction was funny and relatable.
You got yourself a ✨new✨subscriber!
You are an absolute genius. If I could give you 10 thumbs up, I would!
