Blender Grease Pencil - INSTANT Lighting AND Shading

[@vmpere2637]

I just wanna say I love your videos because they give off so much of that early wild-west internet vibe. Very homebrew and stylistic. Can tell you either grew up on newgrounds or flipnote

[@headprismanimation4751]

Thanks man, glad you like it! Actually grew up doing pen and paper mostly!

[@ehsanmastan]

beautiful tutorial, learnt a lot. thanks

[@ferdewyncotton9764]

You could get it to work if the character was a Collection and all other major parts were GP layers. That all depends how the character is built. More work, yes, but it would allow you to put rim lighting on the foreground arm.

[@headprismanimation4751]

I did not know that, thanks for the tip, ill try it out!

[@HalleyRai]

Thnx mate

[@3dtimetraveler806]

cool stuff!

[@headprismanimation4751]

Thanks!

[@artymusoke1352]

Awesome video, thank u! I could follow along until the modifiers and effects, I could click and adjust sliders but my Scene view didnt reflect any changes. Any help in this department please?

[@headprismanimation4751]

For some reason, some of the effects and modifiers for grease pencil only show in the rendered view!

[@artymusoke1352]

​@@headprismanimation4751 I wish man, erything turns green wen I go to rendered view :(

​@@headprismanimation4751 pasteall.org/blend/81b468f8fd21484ea2ca7985bfce8c4f here is the 4.4mb blend file, maybe you'll see something I don't?

[@headprismanimation4751]

@@artymusoke1352 Yeah I'd love to, I need the .blend file though, you uploaded a .blend1 file which is the backup blender file I believe.

[@jonhanlan]

Can you make this a grain texture or something though? Sure there's a way with nodes but I haven't figured it out yet

[@brylidan]

what bout floor shadows ? it can generate them now ? i recall it didn't

[@cavatoons2806]

PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN ADD FOGGY EFFECT IN 2D MODE

[@racheljung4381]

for some reason the stroke thing where you find effects just isn't there for me, any help?

[@lazycatcoffeehouse1148]

can u probably give a breakdown how its masked

[@headprismanimation4751]

Thats the nice thing about the Rim effect, it automatically makes the mask for the rim light based off of the color layer I believe.

[@krivespohe]

@@headprismanimation4751 if you set mask color to white it will also affect darker areas like hair color etc

[@headprismanimation4751]

@@krivespohe Thanks for the tip! I looks like I might have to make an updated video in the future.

[@LaidBackFellow]

can rim be add to Imported images? like an image plane? if so, how can you add the rim effect to the image its self, if its a PNG without the rim being on the borders of the PNG but actually on the drawing its self?

[@headprismanimation4751]

Great question! I believe that the Blender Devs have added in a new feature where you can convert PNGs and PNG sequences into grease pencil objects. From there, you could add modifiers.

[@LaidBackFellow]

@@headprismanimation4751 do you know how to convert the image plane to a stroke object or in other words grease pencil? Thanks

[@headprismanimation4751]

@@LaidBackFellow Yes, select the plane, then in the Object tab, select 'Convert' then 'Grease Pencil'

[@LaidBackFellow]

@@headprismanimation4751 thanks!

[@mix-up9003]

This is exactly what I was looking for the last few hours. But just by any chance can you also apply on PNG image sequence that has a alpha channel on it too or is there a different process to it or do you have to convert the image into SVG maybe?

[@headprismanimation4751]

Glad you liked it! Here's a video on how to do what you're talking about I believe:
