This is seriously one of the most impressive blender filters I've ever seen. The fact that the brush strokes look so incredibly realistic and it all works in real-time is mind blowing! Kudos to you sir! 😑👌
The effect with the normals and colours is just so nice!!!
Men this filter is just something else, you did an amazing work, thanks.
You sir are my HERO. I've been painting and trying to replicate paint look in 3D for years now. Thank you so much for this!
This filter is amazing! I cant believe how somebody can achieve this! Great work!
This really is one of the most insane things I've seen in Blenders, like really nuts how you did this. It's freakin cool!
This is probably the craziest I've seen anyone do with Geometry Nodes.
Great job!
Your work is astonishing. And your personality takes your videos to another level. Thank you for the tutorial!
You are a next-level technical artist. This is one of the most impressive things I've seen introduced to the Blender community. I bought it. I love it. It works out of the box beautifully. This tutorial was extremely helpful too. It really gets me wondering what other kinds of art styles are possible to make filters for? Cubism? Or just different kinds of brush strokes, like more circular dabs, or splatters...or watercolor!? Oh yeah, and the normal maps used to make the impasto is a "stroke" of genius.
The previous video showed an image texture of all the different brush strokes that create the varied effect. I imagine with a new image texture of varying brush strokes you could achieve alternate styles
This is absolutely AWESOME! Thanks for this! ❤
thank you so much for this i never figured any of this out and haven't touched it in months. so excited to use it more and correctly!!!
El mejor video de blender que he visto eveeeer, amo tu trabajo! Gracias por hacer esto posible
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Can't wait to try it out
Amazing work!
Love to work with it
Thanks so much Alan for making this tutorial. You are the genius! Yuri
Using this to create backgrounds for an large LED panel for my church's Easter play. Love it! Thanks
Beautiful work! thank you for sharing
This is amazing. I think the community has been looking for a solution like this for years
Incredibly helpful I love to see you amazing sir keep making it better! so impressive!
Awesome !!! I'm looking for something like this for along time !! Thanks
Incredible stuff here.🔥
As a traditional painter, I'm currently trying digital art that looks like a painting, and this is a freaking gift! Thank you! Although, I bought the Blender Live Paint Filter V2.0 and the settings there is a bit different so hopefully you upload a tutorial for that one coz I'm not really a blender pro just a beginner haha... really please can you discuss the Blender Live Paint Filter V2.0 on your next upload? That would be awesome.. Thank you!
Would love something like this for unreal engine! This is by far the most efficient and visually pleasing approach out there
This is a genius approach my guy. Good stuff
I received your email and saw this video when I was using blender and was having some problems, thank you so much for being so helpful!
Great to hear!
This is great, thank you for this!
Amazing! 🤩🤩
Incredible!!
Wow, this is incredible. I've never seen someone use geometry nodes to achieve this look!
Amazing work.
amazing! original!
You earned my sub.
ive got the filter and itsss amazzinngggg hatsofff
Awesome!
Wonderful feature set!
the man's a genius
Brilliant !
Just BRILLIANT! Absolutely BRILLIANT! Dg
genious!
Just bought your product Mr.Wyatt, Very impressive. Still waiting for your new product to come out!
Hey! If you’re talking about the line art modifier or image to painting tool then they have both released! You can find them in my gumroad and blendermarket in the description of this video.
Thank you for the great work and the tutorial. I am wondering how would this be possible in cycles? When i try to add the paint filter i cant get it to be transparent and work with the scene. Looking forward to your future videos
Hey! So it does not work in cycles. The only thing you can do is render out your scene without the filter in cycles and then change over to eevee and input the cycles render into the input at the top of the geometry nodes modifier list. This will take the scene that you have in eevee while using the colors and values from the cycles render.
Super Impressive! Thanks for creating it, I'm not sure if you have ever used unreal engine, but creating a painterly style matieral in that would be great !
I am not much into game engines, but I already have friends that are trying to translate my technique over to unity to get the same effect. Hopefully it can happen soon!
@Tradigital that's fair enough! That's very exciting, you could make some incredibly beautiful landscapes or archvis with a painterly style like yours. Great work again, can't wait to use it myself!!
Das sum really gud shit 👌
Awesome add on! I am using it in one of my projects, and for a good amount too! Like 2 minutes of straight painterly footage.
I just have a question, I have a scene with multiple cameras and currently, I am rendering the camera I need then moving the filter to the next one, but with so many cameras it takes a good chunk of time to do so. Is it possible to streamline the camera switching by any means?
I'll be sure to credit the add-on when my animation releases. Thanks in advance!
this is probably the greatest filter I have seen for blender, now I can make the shortfilm I wanted to do. Do you have any copyright restrictions on this filter? or do you only need a mention in the credits if I use this?
Hey, I have an editorial and commercial license for the filter on my gumroad and blender market. If you plan on making money from the short then commercial would be the way. The only commercial aspect that is not aloud is redistribution of the product.
Yo! Awesome tutorial, tried applying it to some of my models but it normally crashes (not your fault, my computer has had a lot of troubles recently) but awesome tutorial!!
hello ! thank you so much for that, this is a life saver haha, I have a little question about the brush strokes, can we modify them and bring our own ( made in photoshop for exemple ) ?
Yes! If you look in the shader editor you will find the “brush alpha” node. Look inside there and you will see a photo that you can replace with any other. Mine is technically using the the color to RGB to get the alpha, AO, and bump all in one image, but that isn’t necessary.
Incredible!
Amazing filter, it's so simple and intuitive to use. Thank you so much !!
I wonder if the filter can work with my geonodes générations ? ( I made simple trees and the filter doesn't seem to recognize the line art )
Hey so it should, just make sure that you realize the geometry at the end! Instances won’t generate the line Art properly
Recently bought the pack on gumroad and love it! Just had a question because I’ve had some scenes where the lineart never really generates? I noticed there was custom line art in the flowers sample file, how would I get my own custom line art to work in a scene if I drew some? Sorry if I missed an explanation for that somewhere.
Yes you can! you can just create a random curve object and then use the pen tool while in camera view to draw out the custom curves for your scene. Just make sure that custom curve object is in your scene input!
Amazing, also love the lineart addon. Is it possibile to get a watercolor feel by altering the settings?
If you adjust the opacity of the min and max you can get a bit more of a water color effect, just be aware that you will have to raise your rendering samples and probably the opacity threshold to keep your details. It’s not perfect, but it is the closest I have to a water color effect at the moment.
Hi, just bought your tool kit the other day. They are awesome!
I wanted to ask a question, how can I change the size of the "canvas" to match the size in the camera sensor settings.
It turns out that the field of view increases, but the canvas stays in the center without changing
Hey, I made it so you would always see the edges, but if you just want to see canvas, the best way to adjust that is by changing the actual focal length of the camera and not changing it on the filter properties. Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you run into any more issues.
Hi! loved the tutorial, very specific and short. 👌👌 The only thing that i don't understand is how (or, with what program) can i asign different colors to the paint strokes. How do you do it?
Loved the video!!!
Hey if your initial model has color, you can bake it to a color attribute and then use the names attribute in the “vertex color group” input to transfer the colors. If you go into my example file you can see how in the material the “Col” attribute is how it is being displayed in the materials. It is confusing and hard to explain in simple terms, but it works! I hope that helps!
haha it's confusing but i'll try it!! thaks@@Tradigital
Thank you very much for your amazing work!
I have a question, is it possible if the filter (or canvas) can be move closer or further away from the camera? Because I have some scene where I will place the camera very close to the subject with wide angle lens and parts of the subject got infront of the filter.
Thank you so much.
It is possible! Best thing to do is normally mess with your camera settings to account for the changes since things can only be so close to the camera before they start clipping. If you watch my second video on this topic you will see me talk about the draw plane offset. That will move it closer or further from the camera as well.
@@Tradigital Thank you! I will check out the second video.
Hey, thanks for the most awesome filter I've seen so far (I just bought it :D). I've got a question though: When I zoom the camera, the object in frame starts to blur. How can I make macro frames without losing the detail of the brush strokes?
Hey Roger, not sure what is happening here. That’s definitely strange… could you email me at alanwyatt421@gmail.com with your file and let me take a look? It probably has to do with the polycount of your scene and the line art being captured from your model.
What The Fuck, this is so well executed.
Thank you for such a great tool to work with! The tutorial and the manual are explanatory and clear. I have the updated version of the filter. On the previous version there was a ''cycles render'' tab that you could bring a pre-rendered image to the filter and see how it works there too...Is that possible with the new version as well? Thanks once again, my respect for your technical skills to bring up such a great tool to work with...
Hey, I ended up removing that option after a lot of people were misusing it and then complaining about the results. I instead have an entirely new filter that is specifically made for transferring images to paintings. tradigital.gumroad.com/l/gtlqz
Super cool, thanx a lot for the clarification @@Tradigital
I love this! How does the Additional Line Art function? What kind of input does it require?
Hey, it’s a vertex group. So if you want a specific area to be detected as a line, you can select those edges, add them to a vertex group, and then rename that input (additional line art) to the same name as the group. Another option is you can draw curves in your scene and if they are in the scene collection, it will separate them and use those curves as line art.
Love this addon. Great work!
Is it possible to somehow bake the paint filter directly on the 3d model as a color map?
So I plan on making a baking mode in the future for stuff like this. Sadly, blender does not allow baking in eevee, so the only way to make it work is to makeshift things a bit by unwraping the character, and rendering out the image of their basecolor and normal map.
@@Tradigital Thank you it's working as I was looking for. Would be great to be able to set the direction of the strokes as well. For example if you have a face model and want to implement the filter as texture I would be looking to emphasize the flow of facial shapes in the texture. :)
@@gevikshanazari9972 yeah I will have to experiment with that. I think it would mostly be determined by the silhouette of the UV unwrap. So if you want it to flow in a specific way, your unwrap will determine it.
Hello, it's an amazing and wonderful filter, I really love it so much!!
I got just a question, I've been using it for some hours now and I'm trying to use it in a dark scene, however I notice that at the top of the camera (one third) when everything is set up, there is a lighter place at the top of the camera, is it normal and can we remove it ? But it is automaticaly removed when I turn the baking to 1. I think the lighter space at the top of your video is also a little bit visible.
Yes, that can be removed. What you’re seeing is the area light above the canvas. I added that for dark scenes where there is no light on the filter itself. If you want to keep the light but get rid of the flares, best thing to do is adjust the area light size and strength by selecting it in the outliner and going to its light properties.
@@Tradigital thank you that what I wanted to know :) !! Turning off the specular of the area light was enough to remove the flares and keep the lighting !
Amazing.
Question: is there a way to have the stroke direction to be aware of the edges somehow? for example, the left side has noticeable stroke direction that follows along the edge which seems "natural" to me, however the strokes between the right side and the top sides are ignoring the edge line and going into each sides, which results in the edge feels beveled. Though it's tiny little aspect compared to how polished the end look is, was just wondering if that's something that the filter can solve somehow.
Anyway, Great work. Love the filter.
Hey! The main reason is because of how the line art is created. I just need to keep improving the way that the lineart is being created because to be honest, it isn’t perfect and requires quite a bit of tweaking to really give the final result. This is my next big plan is just improving that method as far as I can in the geometry nodes.
@@Tradigital it's great that you're still improving. Keep it up my dude. So much potential.
Man this I think will be useful to what I'm gonna make... Will check if it will work in blender's compositor separating NPR character etc... Impressive
Hey! So the live paint filter will not work with compositing effects like cryptomatte, but I have a tool coming out soon that will basically be a painterly post processing effect. twitter.com/tradigital3d/status/1672071839416238082?s=46&t=4lgXXhiRsB8PAXS33P1fbw this will work with multiple layers basically like an old multi-plane camera
@@Tradigitalhi, I was wondering if you know how to increase the clipping range of the filter
@@jueviolegrace2546 hey could you explain more what you mean? Can you just not see objects that are further from the camera? If so all you need to do is select the camera and go into the object data tab and extend the clipping range.
@@Tradigital hi, thanks for the reply. Yes that's the issue but no extending the clipping range did not fix it. I'd love to post screenshots to show you but that won't work here 🤷♂️. Basically when I increase the camera clipping range the filter also gets clipped. That's why I was asking if the filter itself has a clipping range somewhere in the geo nodes so I could solve this issue (tried looking but couldn't find any).
@@Tradigital That's cool.. Just bought your Tradigitalist Toolbag.. will still check them all.. Is this also coming to the toolbag?
Hey Alan, this is awesome and the prices for the license are a steal!
I have some question about the license though, if I use it for videos for a TH-cam channel, to generate social media posts, and my own articles etc. can I get the editorial license?
I am not directly earning money with these videos/posts, they are mostly educational, but in a way I am often linking to my own products that are for sale or free (even though my earnings are minimal and not able to support me yet). I would definitely get the commercial license when using it for a client video, but what's your stance on the former?
Hey! If your channel is not monetized and won’t be earning you anything then feel free to use the editorial license! I have many friends who have used it for social media posts. The main thing I just try to avoid in licensing is redistribution.
this filter work with grease pencil objects? really amazing!
I have tried it on grease pencil and sometimes it works, other times it crashes so I don’t normally mention it as a feature. Just be aware that it might be a bit buggy when mixing geometry nodes and grease pencil.
pretty fantastic addon. does it work on images as planes ?
yes it does, but keep in mind that unlike a scene, the image will not have any lineart to follow so it might end up not looking as clean as a 3D scene.
Just bought this from the blendermarket, and my man you rock, it's the best thing. I do have one question tho, does it work with holdouts? 'cause i've tried to use a holdout but it just renders it as greyish strokes, i am assuming it has something to do with how the transparency works, but i can't seem to figure it out. and i've got the transparent background input set to 2 already! c: tx in advance!
Hey, sadly no you can’t do a holdout shader behind the filter. It would have to be in front of the filter for it to work. This is just a limitation of eevee and refraction. There isn’t much I can do about it.
@@Tradigital Hi, tx for your quick reply btw! but yea i figured as much looking at the node trees, tx anyway!! and keep up the amazing work, groundbreaking man
hi! i've been messing around with your filter; it's really impressive and effective :)
is there a way to get it to take grease pencil strokes into account that i'm missing? i use them often on my models. thank you!
Hey, currently grease pencil is not supported in geometry nodes, but I hear that feature is coming soon!
It's really great, I find it quite taxing on my system though. RTX 3070 32gb Ram. Any suggestions to have this run smoother :)? thanks!
This is very interesting, and more complex than I can understand. One thing I noticed in your videos is it doesn't look like the paint defines the planes of the cube. A painter would make strokes in different directions for each plane, each side of the cube. Objects would be reduced to a low poly representation, with each polygonal facet being brushed in a different direction. Is this possible with your filter? You explain about the line art, but I'm not sure I understand. To me, lines are not as important as planes.
Had you considered using the tissue feature of Blender to apply strokes to object planes?
Hey! I recommend you watch my second video on this project that explains how it works just a bit more. I do agree that planes are important. I will keep that in mind as I continue to update the project. The main thing I used the lineart for is to keep the overall detail of the scene while retaining the direction of the edges.
This plug-in is bonkers, great work! Currently working on something that needs a few images as planes, will this be possible soon? Cheers!
Actually yes! I am finalizing a completely separate filter that is made solely for images and extracts all the needed information from it. Should be out in the next few days hopefully. I’ll send an announcement to all current holders when it does.
@@Tradigital amazing!
@@Tradigitaldid the image version get released? I never got a notification/can't seem to find it
Hey, I did release it! I still haven’t been able to make a video so I haven’t made any announcement since I know using the tool can be a bit confusing, but my time has been limited these past few months and I haven’t been able to make any videos. tradigital.gumroad.com/l/gtlqz
I love u
Hey thanks for making this! I just bought it on gumroad and am having issues with it working. I've tried it on my main scene so I thought that might've been the issue but then when I tried it on a plain cube scene again nothing happened. I plug in the collection and the camera as per tutorial and have the item in a new collection, but there's no canvas that populates in front of the camera no matter what. I'm wondering if I am missing something? Or is there a certain way I had to install it? Thanks again!
Hey, what version of Blender are you in? This required 3.4.1+
Hello! Love the tutorial, I only have one problem, whatever scene I apply the filter to and no matter how high I put the Bump strenght, I never get thr paint strokes bump sadly. Do you maybe have an idea why ? 😅
So this is most likely one of two things.
1. your opacity settings. If you raise the minimum and maximum opacity to 1 then you should start to see less blending and more bump between the strokes.
2. You might be in a baking mode where all that is displayed is the base colors with no other details. Just reset baking to 0 and it should fix the issue.
Hope that helps!
i'm absolutely mesmerized by this effect. bought it straight away. one question though. how do you render out your final image? clearly an f12 render from Evee is not the way to do it
Uh I believe that is something on your end. Not sure what is happening. Maybe you have the modifier render display turned off?
@@Tradigital duh, you were right...the render icon was off in the view layer. it must have appended that way and i assumed it was something else. thanks!
@@congorod I’ll make sure to fix that in the file. My bad.
Amazing! Would love to purchase but marketplaces don't support payments from my country :(
Sorry to hear that! Send me an email and we can discuss it. I’m sure we can find a way.
I feel like a primate... it's very cool.
Hey man just got the filter and its pretty cool now just having a little issue with some obj objects not appearing in the filter, is there any suggestions you can give me to fix this issue?
I’ll need some more info to help. Is the obj using materials that have alpha blend on? That can cause issues. Best thing to do is just switch to alpha hashed and it should work fine.
great tool !I just bought it but I'm struggling to find any texture file where i could switch to use my alphas brush stroke instead
Hey, so for this project I use an RGB texture atlas. It can be found in the shader editor under the brush alpha node.
This is amazing. I was wondering if there is a way to get Images as Planes to render with the filter? It would be a cool way to convert video footage to paint strokes!
Hey, so at the moment you can do this, but it won’t probably give you the results you want since there will be no geometry controlling the direction of the strokes. I do have an update coming soon that will be better suited for image input though. Give me a few more weeks and I will have that out for you!
@@Tradigital Awesome, thank you!! :) And do you know if there is a way to get transparent materials/glass to work with this?
@@wibblywobbly3430 in eevee, refraction through refraction does not work. So glass through this filter will not work. Transparency like with alpha masks can work. You just need to enable alpha hashed instead of alpha blend.
@@Tradigital Ayyy, is this feature available yet? It's exactly what I'm looking for! :D
@@joshsmithbuilds2158 yes! Just check my gumroad here! tradigital.gumroad.com/l/gtlqz
I just did my first test, magnificent job, Is it possible to buy the editorial version, and then upgrade to the commercial version? paying a difference. Or would I have to pay it all again?
Yes! You can definitely do that, just purchase the editorial and then when you want to upgrade, email me at alanwyatt421@gmail.com.
Nice. How does it look with an animated scene? Like a turnaround or something.
I have a lot of examples on my Twitter of it being animated! x.com/tradigital3d/status/1678530007637917696?s=46&t=4lgXXhiRsB8PAXS33P1fbw
woahhhhhhh
Hi sir, firstly wow your a boss im having a lot of respect of you. + when i put your filter my scene only show up with a big blur
have a great day
and is it working on grease pencil too ?
I FIND IT OUT DEPTH WAS ACTIVATED TY SIR UR THE BEST
Hey, not sure what is happening with the blur. I would need to see an example to understand better. You can email me at tradigital3d@gmail.com with some images of what you’re encountering.
As for grease pencil, no, it is not supported. Eevee currently does not recognize grease pencil through refraction. So you will have to convert it to mesh before it will show through the filter.
Just bought your bundle today on Gumroad (thanks for making it so affordable!). Loving the painterly results in the viewport... but (maybe I missed something in this video because...) my actual render output doesn't include the paint layer... it's just a plain Eevee render. What am I missing?
Hey that is a mistake with the file I gave. Make sure your geometry nodes modifier and the paint filter append object is enabled for render.
@@Tradigital Weird! Wasn't you. After opening a demo file and appending my own scene to it, everything worked. Compared settings of both... Seemed the same. So started over and appended the Paint Filter to my original file... This time it renders fine and I didn't have to adjust any visibility settings. Very strange. Maybe *I* initially put it in a collection with render visibility turned off. Oops. In any case, I know what to look out for now (duh). This setup is amazing. Thanks again.
Hey! I've painted for many years but recently have had physical struggles with my hands and have been learning to model so that I can create scenes with a new medium, your addon has helped me create paintings again but for some reason no matter what I do (after appending) the filer lags so much and I cant figure out any combination of settings to remedy this (especially when closer to objects). I use the filter in the 2.1 version~
Particularly i've noticed that in vidoes with it it runs SO much faster than mine, including this one!
Hey, sorry for the late reply. It’s hard to know exactly what could be happening here without taking a closer look at the file. Best thing I can say is it is probably your mesh density that is causing issues, but if you are probably going to want to look into your system specs as well. This is a pretty heavy filter and it isn’t meant to be used through animation testing. It is more of a composite effect that you enable before rendering to give it a cool effect on top.
Oh it's totally alright! It was a consistant problem with all of my scenes and files, my system is pretty beefy. I reduced my mesh densities with lower-poly substitutes and it vastly improved the performance of the filter. I am just so used to high poly I didn't realise it's pretty impractical for still painting-type renders! @@Tradigital
It uses the mesh data to generate line art that then influences the flow, scale, and density of the paint strokes. If your mesh is super high poly then it will just take an extremely long time for the line art to compute, or it will just crash straight up.
One solution would be to not include your objects in the scene collection and instead just make a new collection with a curve object. You can draw out what you want the flow to follow instead of using the mesh data.
Not ideal for animation since it will change overtime, but it will help with performance a lot
Thanks, I will try that, this was the kind of understanding I needed as I wasn't about the linart part of the process, I will try that!@@Tradigital
Hey! I'm trying to render out just trees using this add on, the transparent effect seems to work with simple objects like suzanne or cubes but when i try to render out sapling tree gen converted to mesh it mostly disappears. Any suggestion? Thanks!
Hey sorry for the late reply, I’m just seeing this. That is because saplings I believe defaults to Alpha Blend with it’s transparent leaf textures. That cannot show through a refractive material, you’ll have to switch them to alpha hashed! Let me know if that helps!
i am stupid, killed 2 hours to make it on blender 3.2 ( spoilers its not work), installed 3.4 and all good, thx for great geonodes, best 4 dollars in my life)
It's more expensive now☹️
I really enjoyed working with this great Blender filter. The results look stunning, but I have one question. Is it possible to slowdown the speed of how the brushstrokes are appearing. The refreshing is so fast and I would like to slow them down a bit. I hope it is possible..
Hey, sorry for just noticing this comment. The best way would be to just change the actual framerate of your render. I like something between 8-12 fps definitely gives the best results.
Hello! Thank you that you responded to my question. I am going to experiment with this. Best@@Tradigital
I recently bought this on Gumroad and I have to say this is very impressive! I have a question though about a specific kind of effect I'm going for, I want to make a scene where only certain objects have this painted look, so for example I want to make a character in a scene look painted, but have the rest of the scene look photorealistic. I would also want to have it so that the characters shadow look painted. Is this something you know how to do?
Also, will future updates for this be free, or will I have to buy it again in the future if you add new features to it?
Hey, so for an effect like that, I believe that for something that complex, rendering out the two separate and then combining them in post would be better. I would also recommend that you render out the realistic background alone, then render the character with everything else being shadow catchers. This can then be input into the cycles render input on my filter to give you the effect I think you might be looking for.
As for future updates, they are all included with the product as long as the product is the same, so any direct updates to this paint filter would. Hope that helps!
@@Tradigital Okay, thank you, will try to do it that way. It helped a lot!
I've got multiple objects in different collections in my main collection. And it says "The target mesh must have faces", and thus I don't get anything in the evee render. Do you have any idea why ?
Hmmm I have not actually tried having sub collections yet. I’m not sure if geometry nodes supports that. I’ll check when I have a chance and try to get back with you.
How strong should be the computer to work with the filter? Your Illustrator shader was very cool but worked too slow on my poor M1 =) Is this option better?
Hey! Yes it should run smoother since it does not require the filter to be on every single object in the scene. I have used it on a laptop with an intel I7-8750K and it worked fine. The M1 should be even better then that.
@@Tradigital I'll give it a try then! thank you for your workI hope one day you invent an neural network to convert blender 3d images into oil-painted masterpieces =)
This is such a great effect! One issue I'm having: when I change the mm focal length on my camera, the box of the paint filter doesn't scale in relation to the camera. Is there way to do this?
Hey, this is getting fixed in an update I am releasing tomorrow. From now on, it will only work with the FOV in degrees. That will work a lot better. I’ll send out an announcement when it is released.
@@Tradigital Oh awesome! Thanks for the quick response. I just got the filter and am having fun playing around with it.
Hi, I bought it and its so awesome, but It´s there a way to change the brush stroke and add my own? im looking into the node editor and the shader editor but i cant find where it is getting the brushstroke shape and bump from. Thank you very much
I'm also curious about this. Would be nice to add finer brush strokes so you can see more detail for character's expressions. Pretty much the only thing holding me back from buying this addon
Adjusting the stroke scale might fix this issue for me potentially
Hey sorry for the late response, so the image texture that is used is a 6/6 texture atlas that is inside the brush alpha node under the shader editor. You can add your own texture there if you would like.
@@Tradigital awesome!!!
Stroke minimum scale is probably what will solve this issue. Just lowering that and putting the detail level to 6 should give you the needed detail you are looking for
Does it work on Blender 4.0? :)
I love these addons!!
Yes, all my tools are updated for Blender 4.0
We may need another tutorial on using the new version of Blender and BLPF, as a lot of things seem to be different! On a side note, if I just bring the movie into my scene, can it have this effect? If I want to make a video with an oil painting effect.
You would not want to use the live filter on a video or image plane. I have a completely separate tool for that here. tradigital.gumroad.com/l/gtlqz
@@Tradigital yeah I see it thnaks bro! but i'm not sure how to use it, when i opened it i saw a plane with spider-man image, so i juse need to replace that image material right? or i can creat another plane placed the same location?
This is a post processing effect so make sure you have your final rendered image and open the .blend provided in blender 3.5+. Now, open the image in the image editor, and then select the filter and add the image to the image input under the modifier properties.
Once you do that, follow my in scene instructions on adjusting the resolution and magnitude settings to get a better result where the strokes follow the image.
Hope that helps. Most of this filter is pretty self explanatory once you get into it.
@@Tradigital Hello, i just got the pixel pasto, is there anyway to make the strokes not randomize on every frame of my rendered animation?
They technically are not randomizing per frame. They are following whatever the animation does. So if you have a lot of high framerate movement, the filter is going to do the same and seem quite jittery as it tries to keep up, but if your animation is slow and doesn’t make sharp changes, then the filter will follow this and do the same.
I would recommend rendering out in a very low fps between 6-12 to get the desired look you are after. This effect is not made for high FPS because that would be unrealistic if it was all handpainted in real life. For instance, the Van Gogh movie from a few years back that was completely hand painting locked itself to 12 frames per second and sometimes even went lower. that was a monumental task as you can guess with the thousands of paintings having to be completed.
Hello! I just bought this, and it is amazing! 🤩 Tho I have a question, the bump doesn't seem to be showing in my file... I tried changing the "Bump Strength" in the Shader Settings (0.1~1), but it doesn't change anything. Could you tell me how I fix this?
Hey are you accidentally in the diffuse baking mode? Try setting your baking mode to “0”.
@@Tradigital “Baking” in the Shader Settings? It’s 0! But I don’t see any Bump… ;-;
Hmm, that is strange, could you email me at tradigital3d@gmail.com and send me the file? I’ll take a look at it when I get a chance
@@Tradigital Ok thank you! I just sent it to you 🙏
Hi! Dont know if it has been previously asked, but can I have a custom curve determine the line art¿? Or is there a way to connect it? Or only the generated ones count...?
(I am absolutely stunned by the filter and amount of work you put into this, love it!!! Sorry if the question was a bit dry xddd But huuuge congrats!!)
No worries! Yes you can, just create a custom curve object that will represent your line art and put that curve in your scene collection input!
@@Tradigital yay, thanks!!
Hello, im veeeeery new to blender so this questions might be dumb. Is it possible to have this filter in a animation, will it still works or it only works on static scenes? Also if I export my scene to unity would it be possible to have that effect on the POV of the player so all the "game" haves this filter?????
Hey, as for animation, absolutely! It will definitely work with moving cameras and objects in your scene! Exporting will not work though sadly. This uses Blender’s geometry nodes which is not something that can just be exported over. I do know a few people who are trying to achieve the same effect in unity and unreal though! Hopefully soon you will be able to have the same effect in both.
@@Tradigital ohh okay, thank you so much. Your work is amazing keep it going
wondering if there's any way to have the paint filter pick up on motion-blur within the scene?
i'm intending on using this add-on for some animations and i think it would be excellent to have some paint smears for the high speed movements, after some experimenting it seems like it doesn't pick up on the motion blur in the render settings. so right now i'm going to test if keyframing the detail level and brush stroke sizes can help acheive the effect i;'m going for.
if anyone else has any ideas please let me know!
certian meshes dont appear but the shadow of it does, any way to fix this?
Does the object have any transparent materials set on it? If so, set it to alpha hashed instead of alpha blend.
