i also wanna note that it's super important to use different tree assets depending on distance. if u have full leaves being rendered in the distance, you're gonna make alot of visual clutter that is usually not visible until trees get close up in painted backgrounds. it's like grass, you really only see the detail close up, whereas its hinted at in the distance
@sumicmusic Excellent addition, you are absolutely right! The further the distance, the less detail you need for trees and other objects. Thank you for the informative comment 😄
@navneetrout8193 Your comment means so much to me 😁 I work hard to make these tutorials easy to understand, and I'm just so happy to hear that you were able to follow it with ease. Thank you for telling me this, I really appreciate your encouragement!
As someone whos learning blender just for fun and casual stuff, this was really helpful. The explanation was very understandable and to the point. Looking forward to more tutorials
thank you!!! i appreciate the quality of your audio mixing, i get distracted way too easily and the background music is low enough that it doesn't distract but high enough that the silence doesn't either lol
@donw2175 I'm so happy to hear that!! It has been a journey figuring out the right audio levels for the music. Thank you so much for letting me know it's at a good level 😄
Not only are your tutorials super well done and informative for particular subjects, they've helped me get better at Blender in general. Because of you and the base knowedge ive gained from your tutorials, i will feel like I can come up with procedural textures for anything.
@shashwatmaurya3415 That's a question I've been wondering myself, haha 😅 I am not sure how much more work it will take, I am experimenting with different ideas to get geometry depth without looking 3D, but it is something I am definitely working towards. I may post updates on TH-cam and/or discord if you want to stay up to date on that 😁
I'm not super familiar with the mokoto shinkai art style, but a recommendation: cell shade the branches. I'd probably do this by taking a principle BSDF's output via shader to rgb, running that through a color ramp set to constant, and using that to apply value to the base albedo texture/color.
@S41L0R That is a great suggestion! I will go over this in much more detail when I make a fully dedicated tree bark tutorial in the future. But yes! Definitely play around with how you would like to shade your trees in the meantime 😄
guys we can use blenders native grease pencil (with tree leaves brush) to draw upon a basic outline ( done by placing spheres where leaves need to be) using the stick to surface and it gives a very good result. can be done by mouse , no need for drawing skill ( i have none). And also comfee mug thanks for the tutorials dude.
@maisd8mil464 Wow, thank you so much! That's a great question! I know it's possible to export materials from blender to other gaming engines, but I'm not sure if you need an addon in order to do it 🤔 Would definitely be worth looking into more, though. If I find anything, I'll let you know 😁
Awesome vid, just an FYI. As I was doing the same things you were doing I would click on other objects and lose the pop up menu of the Tree Sap Gen, the way to quickly restore it is by going to Edit and Adjust Last Operation , or F9 key. That way you do not have to redo everything .
@Atman94 I can't tell you how helpful your comment is!! You wouldn't believe how many times I had to redo everything for this tutorial because I kept clicking out of that menu. You have my deepest thanks for this 🙏
@@ComfeeMugI knew there was no way that I'd be the only one experiencing this problem, but now that I think about it , it would make sense that a guy doing tutorials would encounter this issue a lot lol. But yeah I had to search quite a bit to find the solution for this , glad I could help !

@aadie_988 Just seeing your comment, and I love the idea! Are you thinking the aesthetic of anime like Ghost in the shell, Princess Mononoke, Evangelion and the like? 90s era anime, or were you thinking of a different style?
Your tutorials are wonderful! I’m newer to Blender but whenever I draw I’m always inspired by Ghibli and the like, so I’ve been trying to translate the style to 3D as well and your videos have been incredibly helpful ! I also wanted to ask, is there anything done differently with the tree at 0:29 / 0:30 ? It seems to have a variety of different colors; lighter greens, and a blue shade too ?
@sprigtwig I'm so happy to hear you've found my tutorials useful! So cool to hear that you're broadening your skills by learning blender 3D 😄 Ah yes, the only difference is to the world color, not the tree shader itself. You can see it in the background of those few shots, I changed the color to a darker blue, which makes the shadow color a blue. I'll be making a video soon on anime backgrounds and HDRIs, but I would definitely recommend playing around with the background shader editor to get a look you like 😄
@@ComfeeMug Oh I see ! thank you so much for your answer! The things you make are very well-crafted, and a video about anime backgrounds sounds lovely as well. Thank you again for the help !

Your trees look really great! And as always your tutorials are amazing! I’m definitely putting these in my scene. I was just curious if you had any ideas for some tweaks to make them look a bit more like cherry blossom trees. (Other then color of course)
Hello there! Managed to get to the end of the tutorial and I really enjoyed it! Just have one question though, maybe I missed it, but what's the purpose of the cylinder at the start?
Thank you, i am lazy enough to learn, the first step is already enough lol, i just need that animes stle tree, and not all those goofy ahhh shading editor haha thank you
@Kekauzu Haha, I'm glad you could find something useful from my tutorial 😅 Best of luck to you and your project, I'm very excited for what you end up making!
@exhaustnotemusic5835 Thank you, I really appreciate your support!! You can either use a turbulence field to animate the mesh or animate the texture directly using the mapping node's location and rotation controls. In both ways, you will want to take away the object info node so that the leaves look better when they move.
Hi! Great tutorial, however somehow I can't seem to get individual alphas on my leaves like you, it's always some kind of greyish mush although I replicated everything a 100%. Also is there a way to do this in 4.2 since cascade size and cube size are gone in the shadow tab? How else can I get the smooth painted effect
@DauXanhGaming I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure why that might happen. Maybe the units we're using are different? I used the imperial unit system in my tutorial, so that might be why the leaves are so fragmented. And as for the color, I forgot to put this in the video, but I had my color management in the render settings set to "Standard." The default is set to AgX, so that may be why the color is different. I hope this helps. Again, I'm sorry you ran into so many issues while going through my tutorial. Let me know if you have any more questions, I'd be happy to help.
Nice tutorial tysm....... But i have one issue when i connect color ramp alpha to fac and change blend mode and shadow in option to alpha hashed then all the leaves disappear ...pls help me i stuck in last step i want to finish this so that i can move to you next tutorial
@grfki196 First, I'd like to say thank you so much for going through my tutorial 😊 The hiccup you're running into may just be an issue with the leaf alpha's placement, or its final color ramp values. I would recommend plugging the spherical gradient in your leaf alpha setup into the material output directly so that you can see exactly where the center of the gradient sits on an individual leaf. You may need to adjust the placement of it to be more exact than I specified in the video. If the problem persists after that, go to the final color ramp in the leaf alpha setup and slide the white value more to the left. This will ensure that what is fully white in the alpha setup will be fully visible. If the problem still continues, and none of the previous tips helped, then it might be a problem with the render settings. You may need to increase the viewport render amount a little to see things in the alpha hashed mode. Before doing this, though, I would recommend changing your pending modes from alpha hashed to alpha clip. This gives a much harsher look for the edges while reducing render processing power needed. If your leaves show up in that mode, then it's probably just a render settings problem that can be fixed by increasing the viewport rendering. It should be the first option you see in the render settings tab. It will say something like, "camera: (specific number) viewport: (specific number)" I hope this helped! But let me know if it doesn't and I will try troubleshooting some more. I hope you are well, my friend 😁
@kartikart3257 Great question! There are two ways I know how to add line art for characters and objects, and it will just depend on what style you would like. There is the "back-face culling" option that can be seen from any angle in your viewport, but has sharper edges. And then there is the grease pencil line art option that can only be seen from the camera view, but will give you much more exact and rounded edges that are fully customizable. I will plan on making a tutorial on these techniques in the future, but for now, I can link the tutorials I use for this for you to enjoy 😄
Here is the grease pencil line art tutorial I use: th-cam.com/video/FfUn7UUvqQU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Alg1XM93zvwANxND And here is the back-face culling method: th-cam.com/video/_6NgkWwCnhk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Bo_56UKdALxEtWj6

@rajabwali3373 Haha, literally none 😂
Thank YOU for always being here to support! I appreciate you.
i also wanna note that it's super important to use different tree assets depending on distance. if u have full leaves being rendered in the distance, you're gonna make alot of visual clutter that is usually not visible until trees get close up in painted backgrounds. it's like grass, you really only see the detail close up, whereas its hinted at in the distance
@sumicmusic Excellent addition, you are absolutely right! The further the distance, the less detail you need for trees and other objects. Thank you for the informative comment 😄
