Best tutorial ever
I've finally found my art style in blender. Usually I like painting watercolor images and I was wondering how I could relate it to the 3d art world. So thanks again
This was beautiful Diego!! Thanks a lot!
This is extremely nice. Thank you for sharing.
This is so cool! Thanks a lot for sharing!
this is dope, I tried and failed making something like this a while back
This is so cool! Thanks for this.
i really like how this looks, awesome work!
Stunning Effect! Also, very profound use of the shader nodes. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I have to share this tutorial with my artist friends :-)
Beautiful! Thanks!
This is next level, hope you make more content like this!!
This is amazing! and really nicely explained, thank you so much!
This is magical! Thank you!
Wow this is pretty awesome, thanks for sharing
This is a great look! Thanks for sharing.
beautiful work! I always was wondering if this effect was possible in Blender and now I know, thank you.
OMG!! beautiful work!! I wanted to know this technique when I was working on Anime project several years ago!! thanks for sharing this amazing video!!
Great result. The lighting is crucial
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful material.
Wow, super cool! Thank you!
This is beautiful. Thank you!
This is an incredible tutorial. Simple, clear, easy to follow. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
This is fantastic!! :D
Incredible tutorial, thanks !
Awesome results
This just got me to subscribe! I've seen a lot of blender water color tutorials but they all seem to go for the loose-splashy/bleeding water color look. This looks completely controlled but still has that feeling of water colors! Fantastic stuff!
Thanks!
My god this is beautiful work, and extensible!!!!! Thank you, what a great way to start my day. Subbed for sure.
Thanks!
This looks beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial. Amazing skills.
Thanks!
This shader is beautiful, thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks!
Amazing tutorial, thank you!
Really excellent job!
wow amazing work
Wow, this amazing, you are a genius.
omg awessommmee !!!! thanks for sharing ♡♡♡♡♡♡
It's absolutely amazing! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
This is the fine art of nodes.
Just getting myself started in the world of blender npr creation and it's so fascinating! beautiful work my jaw dropped at the end result
Thanks!
Great tutorial--thanks so much for making it!
Thanks!
You really nailed the watercolor look. Thanks for sharing. The blue watercolor effect in the end is really cool. I can't believe it was made in Blender. :)
Thanks for the comment :D
Awesome technique!
Just what i was looking for thanks
Thank you so much for this beautiful tutorial! amazing
Thanks!
here, you dropped this 👑
Thank you so much! Beautiful work!
Thanks!
thanks Diego, the splash of blender 4.0 is so.
This is beautiful! Would be nice to see a tutorial on the end sequence too
Love this!
Pure gold, ❤️ it
Really cool, cheers!
I've been looking for painterly shades for months! How did I find this so late 😂
Thank you for the great tutorial!
Cool Work
Thank you! subscribed!
Amazing, thank you very much
Great! Thanks for this.
Thanks!
Amazing!
Great Stuff!
Great stuff. Thanks for share
Wow that looks amazing! Thank you for the amazing tutorial :)
Thanks for watching!
@@SinestesiaCo I want to try this material in animation, wonder how good it would look
@@talgatospanov7283 I rendered a small fly-through intro I didn't use in the end. I think it looks pretty cool animated, the flowy paint (3:18) could be distracting but you can control or not use it. Mixing it with grease pencil could also be interesting
@@SinestesiaCo ooooh! very interesting.
Fantastic
now that's cool af
*Oh my God!* Oh thankyou very much tutorial!
Really nice! Thanks!
You should do a tutorial on that last blue watercolor waving effect you used, looks sick!
Good idea, it might help me get back on the youtube train!
This is exactly whay I was looking for
Thank you
Glad you liked it!
@@SinestesiaCo Can you make a material with pastel color as well?
kinda like this?
www.deviantart.com/tails-155/art/Moonrise-836351881
I love this effect, thanks! Have you tried adding a (very thin) outline with the solidify modifier and flipped normals trick? I did and it looks amazing! Also I have added a couple of hue/sat nodes after the colour ramps to shift the hue and control the colours easily (and with a group input node I can access this property from the materials tab). Thanks again for the tutorial!
Nice, Didn't think about the solidify modifier trick, post some pics! :)
@@tomschannel27 I think you can do it following a tutorial here on youtube called "Daily Blender Secrets - Toon Outline with Inverted Hull (updated)"
This is such a great tutorial and results are amazing!
great stuff, subscribed
Thanks!
Thank you!
Lovely
당신은 천재다!
This is 😍
someone make an animation using this
wow!
Thanks alot
Your a God
This shader is great. And the rose is very appropriate for this shader. Did you create it? Do you have advice on which other objects this shader can look good?
wowww
900 IQ Badge for you my man
:D
Wow. I should learn Blender now.
Always a good time to learn Blender!
Finally
Seems to work well with this specific model. I think mayn parameters need to be adijustet to fit ours. Not so easy.
Hi, do you have the link of the paper you used ? Can't find it anywhere and I love how it turns for you :D thanks for sharing tho
nice style
but how to apply this texture over grease pencil strokes?
What about objects with texture?
This tutorial is great thank you. Can you export the shader to c4D? Thank you, V
Is it possible to bake this out as an albedo / base color map?
This is such an incredible effect. Does anyone know of a way there might be to add a contour line to the outline of ones model? That would really be perfect for the look I´m going for
Thanks ^^. Check out Freestyle or a tutorial called "Daily Blender Secrets - Toon Outline with Inverted Hull (updated)"
@@SinestesiaCo Thank you so much :D I´ll be sure to check both of those out
One of my favorite shaders ever!!! It's so pretty! I just have one question, it seems any new material like Principled BDSF just makes them completely black and the only way to change it's color is by moving Emision, but other than that it stays black. Same with transparency, I can't seem to get it right, is this because of the lights?
Hi, yeah the idea of the shader is to hack around the lighting system. The lightiing is "calculated" in the material, using emission is just a way to put that on the object without it being affected directly by the lights (an emission of 1 works like a flat shader).
@@SinestesiaCo Aah I see! Makes sense! Would it be possible then to put some objects with a different material in the same scene then? Or put a watercolor shader into an object in a different scene, like a character made of watercolor but the rest of the scene is made with realistic materials.
If I could hit the like button 100 times to give 100 likes I would. Thank you for an amazing tutorial!!
Diego thanks great work. Can you please tell me how to create this moving watercolor texture at the very end of the video 6:40 ???
Hi Alex, I applied the same material from the rose to a plane. Then I added a few spot lamps and animated their location. I used the noise modifier (in the graph editor), to make them move randomly. The differences between light and dark areas create the moving ink effect
@@SinestesiaCo thanks Diego I will try that and credit you in my upcoming animation. Awesome people like you make the animation industry the best. cheers!!
Hey! thanks for a great tutorial! I am trying to achieve an extra layer of watercolour realism and I wonder if you could help because I am stuck.
I have scenes with multiple objects, all of which have watercolour shaders. I would like for the object colour to blend with another object's colour when one is in front of the other (real-time). In a similar way that an artist paints something red, and makes another pass with blue and the area onto which both red and blue have been painted becomes purple.
Do you think it's achievable in Eevee? I have asked this question on blender stack exchange (watercolour shader) with a reference image which I can't post here..
Hey Demetris, I get what you're saying. I haven't tested this, but it _might_ be possible using a refraction or glass BSDF with a shader-to-rgb node. You probably want to use a fresnel/layer weight node as a mask so it's only in the borders. The glass node would allow you to pick up what's around the object so you can then blend it in. It does sound like something that would be easier to do with OpenGL shaders
@@SinestesiaCo Hi Diego! thanks for the reply:) I have been trying with glass nodes but it was fruitless - but - haven't adopted the shader to rgb node! thanks so much the guidance. I'll try and see:)
@@demetrisktorides Hello! I'm curious whether it worked because I'm facing the same issue as you do? And could you, please, provide how did you solve this? Thank you in advance!
I've figured that out just alright. I've included that default grouped PaperTexture into my custom "bubble" shader, which has Transparent and Glass BSDFs in it that are mixed with the RGB node and connected to the Emission node. Just remember to enable the Screen Space Reflections in Render Properties window with Refractiions inside. And the you could play with the sliders to your likening. Switching on the Screen Space Reflections in the Material Properties Settings window is the next most important part. If you happen to find some difficulties with transparency try toggling the Alpha Blend option in the Blend Mode dropbox there. Hope it helped!
Amazing! Do you know how to do this with the shader graph in Unity? I am just starting to look at shader graphs so a total beginner and I am lost!
Hi, thanks! I originally took inspiration from a Unity Shader but there's a bunch of them now. Check this out: forum.unity.com/threads/watercolour-shadow-shader-effect.379102/
Wow, really cool ! love it.
Do you think it would be possible to add Kuwahara Filtering to EEVEE ?
Example of implementation in ue4 : www.raywenderlich.com/100-unreal-engine-4-paint-filter-tutorial
Hey, probably not in EEVEE but an effect like that could get implemented in BEER (blendernpr.org) since it aligns better with that engine
Made me think a whole new way.. I wish I could understand what you said at 3:45 'make the colours xxx between dark and bright'? BTW, could be wrong.. noise is expensive... why use the Fac output from 3 Noise nodes, instead of the Color output from 1?
Ah sorry, I'm still working on my pronunciation. What I said is to make the colors zig-zag between dark and bright.
Using a noise for each axis gives you more flexibility. I think 3D noise isn't that expensive but it depends on your GPU. If you were using UVs as texture coordinates you could also drop to 2D noise. Using a single color output would be a nice optimization though
@@SinestesiaCo Thanks! Got it! Don't worry, and don't for one moment let arrogant English-speakers assume everyone should learn their language and they don't need to learn anyone else's! Thank you for the English you *have* learned. Nice tutorial.
your video is awesome! I would like to know if it is possible for you to obtain a pastel / pencil rendering with this technique, by changing the parameters and texture? Thank you for your help
Hey AlexisGRD! I think it should be possible. Just change the three noise nodes for image nodes with pastel/pencil textures. You would have to tweak the main colorramp in a different way since those mediums don't have wet edges though. I made a text tutorial on crosshatching in Eeevee some time ago that might be useful: sinestesia.co/blog/art/crosshatching-with-eevee/
Diego Gangl thank you for your answer, I will take a closer look 😊
@@waarlordy heres also a color pencil node setup blenderartists.org/t/how-to-make-color-pencil-looking-material/1192629/13
what did he add at 2:58?
unreal
I have a small question if it is allright for me to ask:
It is possible to add to the material, a custom texture instead of a color for this to work? Im just curious
THank you for and sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi Sure. I haven't tried it myself but instead of the coloring colorramps you can use a mix node set to "Color" mode. Just plug the texture in the second socket.
Very Cool, is there a way to use base color texture instead of coloramp?
Hi, do you mean as in taking colors from an image? Haven't tried it, but you could mix the texture with an image using the "Hue" mode in the mix RGB node. I think it would be easier to pick the colors and put them in the ramp though (and would give you more control)
@@SinestesiaCo i've tried it didn't quite work. i might have doing it wrong though.
Thx for the nice tutorial! I have one question: can I bake this into an image texture? I've tried but the outcome doesn't look like it should :( (beginner here)
Hi, the only reason problem I can imagine with baking is the texture coordinates. Part of the effect is that the textures don't "move" in 3D. Not sure how that could be fixed, I guess it depends on where you want to use the texture (game engine?)
@@SinestesiaCo i wanted to make an animated shortfilm. Therefore I need to use this texture on multiple objects which means.. yeah.. multiple huge node trees D:
@@Rocklady1501 Ah yeah, that could slow things down. An alternative could be to use the Unity shader I mention in the comments and do the whole thing in Unity (or maybe Godot if some has made something similar)
