I did everything as in the video. but I can't export the model in VRM format (I dressed my character from Vroid in clothes that I downloaded from sketchfab) and the objects on which I made the anime shader and outline. the exported model turns out to be completely white, and the outline turns gray
Excellent video, it helped me a lot! Could you tell me how, after doing this whole process, is it possible to draw on that material? How do I do it please?
Do you have any recommendations for lighting these materials? Mine looks good in the shader editor but not so great with area or point light, sun looks ok but hard to control
Awesome tutorial, thanks a lot. I'm wondering if there is a way to apply this to a whole scene (no outline), without making every single material like this.
That would be quite useful tho I don’t know exactly how you’d go about doing it. Maybe something you’d be able to do with compositing, but that’s not an area I know much about!
select all the objects that you want to be applied, and make sure the object with the cell shader is highligted. then do ctrl+l and press materials. they will all have the cell shader but will all be the same colour. then, go to the materials tab for one, press the number next to the name of the material, and change the colours in the color ramp. do that for all the objects in the seen :)
@@vishnupavithran1497 hey can you explain me what exactly u did? or what i have to learn. im new to blender. love the outline effect. but have no idea how to solve the cycle problem
I still watch a lot of tutorials for things. That’s the great thing about blender being free! There’s loads of people out there sharing their knowledge!
Hello! I write the text through a translator, so I'm sorry)) Very good video. It helped me! But what if I want the color from the light bulb to also be reflected on the object? Because I came across the fact that there is only color from "colorRamp" on the object. Thank you in advance))
So if you run the coloramp output back into the base colour on a principled Bsdf you’ll be able to effect the colour of the light as well as maintaining the cel shading. By doing this you can also effect all the usual settings the principled Bsdf offers like metalness and roughness! Thanks for the feedback glad you found it helpful!
i downloaded a minecraft character rig from black plasma studios, the lighting works on other items but i cant figure out how to do it, ive been at it for 3 hours now
This is good advice, but I have a slight problem: So I followed a Tutorial on texture painting before, and now I habe some textures I wanted to keep and get cell shaded over. Problem: when done like in this video: the shaders just overwrite my textures, and stuff like eyes with a coloured Iris just got their color removed. Is there a way to keep those textures and use the cell shading as well?
You would need to mix the texture you made with something like the setup in the video, where you could use a coloramp to darken certain parts of the texture you made while still maintaining what you painted
so your eyes are a different object/mesh from the head? is that how you got the eyes to have its own materials? also, can you cel shade and animate a rigged character in this way? appreciate any response and thank you for the tutorials
It’s better to have the eyes as separate objects from the head as you can move them and edit them as you please this way. I used just one sphere for mine due to them being completely black so there was no need for different ones. And yes you can totally use this shader on any model or character you want to!

Nice i love your explaination, but something made me think. What if i have many object, do i have to aplly each one of them like in the video or how can i made the shade for all of my Object?
If you’re doing cell shading for a lot of objects. You can make one base material and add it to your asset library so you can just apply it to anything you want to and change it as needs be. As for an outline on lots of things. For that I’d use freestyle. It’s just a toggle in the render settings which adds an outline. However it doesn’t show in the viewport so you’ll only see the results after render which isn’t too big a deal. Hope that helps
@@bellahonkaielf5165 I’m not 100% understanding sorry but if you mean do you have to add the shader to every object individually then as far as I am aware yes you do. I don’t think there is any way to apply a material to everything at once but I may be wrong
@@bellahonkaielf5165 as I said. If it’s the outline you want. Use the freestyle option for a full scene. And if it’s for the cel shading then to speed it up make a base with the material setup and then you can change the colour for whatever object you want
Does anyone know a way to add a black outline to my entire scene in eevee? I have tried the background culling method with materials and solidify modifier which was cool but it was so time consuming to do it for every object in my scene. I was wondering if there was a way to apply that method to every object in the collection all at once.
Hey. I have another video showing a way to make an outline using the grease pencil. And that is based on a collection. So it applies to all objects you have in a certain collection in your scene, here’s the link! th-cam.com/video/a4mV7sCewM0/w-d-xo.html You could try that, there are also other ways to do it but I think this may be the most customisable, it just has a slightly different look to the back face culling method
@@Littlerolz thanks! I tried the grease pencil line art method. I really love it alot. However it causes the viewport to run quite slow. But definitely excited to see how they develop this useful thing in the future. Appreciate your help.
@@Geometrynode yeah that is one unfortunate drawback to it but for the added customization you get, I think it’s worth it. Plus you can hide the grease pencil from view when modeling if it gets too slow!
Hello, i can't seem to find this shader to rgb in addition to other nodes, i'm on eevee rendering engin yet it's still missing, and there ain't no tutorial on how to make it show up. Thank you
Anyone for a way to prevent the outline from overlapping on other meshes? Like, building a character model in parts rather than as one whole mesh and wanting the outline to be around the whole mesh but not showing through overlapping meshes.
Use the freestyle option when rendering for something like that. It offers a lot more control too than doing it this way. There is a checkbox under the render properties for ‘freestyle’ turn it on and then there’s a large selection of different modifiers for you to choose from to get different effects such as a sketch look for example. If you don’t find it right away there’s plenty of tutorials out there on how to use it. Hope that helps!
You might find this video on a comic shader I made useful. I go over how that sort of effect can be made. You’d just simplify the setup a bit! th-cam.com/video/xzz52hX5rzk/w-d-xo.html
alright so whenever i look up shader in the node search i dont get shader to RGB i just get add shader and mix shader and im on the latest version too what do i do?
If you want to use coloured lights you might want to check out my spiderverse shader video. I mention how that can work in there but in short essentially the final node in the chain should be a principled bsdf. This will then use the colours from the lights
I have another video showing a pencil style shader which uses a texture in a similar way. If you use a mix node and combine the shader to RGB with your texture before the coloramp you can get the effects of both!
that's basically what backface culling does. it removes the back side of the material making it see-through. so if you don't have another material underneath it then it will just end up completely blank
@@Littlerolz ah ok thanks. But when I have a material underneath it. Than it does nothing. I mean when I activate the blackface culling with another material underneath it nothing changes.
@@Littlerolz No I forgot it...😂 But now I have another problem. Maybe it doesn't work because I sculptet a head and than I built the head wie planes, activatet shade smooth so that my head looks good but don't have many vertices. Could it be the problem that my object consists of planes?
@@LaRay314 when you say made up of planes do you mean lots of individual planes parented together or joined into one object. So in the object menu in the top right are they all one object or lots of individual ones
Freestyle mode is much the same yeah. I quite like this way cos you can see the outline in the viewport and it has a very similar result in most cases!
This is the single most useful tutorial I have found on this topic! You made it so simple. Thanks a billion!
Thanks for the feedback!
I didn't expect u to make it so simple man thank you omg lmao that was fantastic

Nice. Just used this tutorial, thank you!
Thank you, 😂 last part 😂
That's called "ANIME" got me there😂
Thank you so much I am trying to make a YT show with my friends using cell shading and this helped a lot!
Bruh this is absolutely amazing!!!
Thank you!
Just what I was looking for, thank you
can you make a quick tutorial/timelapse on how you created the model used in this video? Would love to see it, looks great
Thank you very much sir, I was searching for this type of tutorial for a long time!
Glad you found it
Unlike the other tutorials, this one actually helped, thanks!
Edit: Do you need the eyes on a separate layer?
With this 4 minute video, I will take over the world 🔥 thank you so much

for some reason this shader dosent work on my model, would it have anything to do with a mirror modifier?
Do you have any recommendations for lighting these materials? Mine looks good in the shader editor but not so great with area or point light, sun looks ok but hard to control

This is Great!
Works pretty well in material preview, but how to get the effect to work in render as well.
It should work fine when rendering, so long as you are rendering using eevee. It won't work in cycles
Thanks for the quick response man!
Figured it out. The problem was with lighting. I used hdri to fix it.

@@denniss.3907 Use eevee.
Does it keep the shade when imported into Unity (.fbx)?
I'm a beginner, not able to export model with textures in GLB format. Can you solve this issue?
ok I followed this but I can't get it to work in cycles it just appears as solid black when I add the outline.
Cuz it’s made specifically for Eevee so it won’t work
How do you master this application without a tutorial? There is always a tutorial that helps, thank you handsome people
