🎨 [Free Lesson] Easy Toon Shader in Blender
Hey Reader,
Zach here,
Today, I have a free lesson for you, from our Magic Storybook course for Blender, which just received a huge update.
In this lesson, you will learn how to set up a simple but effective Toon Shader (Cel Shader), that works in EEVEE.
This shader can give any 3D object that 2D illustrated look.
In this lesson, you will learn how to:
- Set up the Toon Shader using Shader Nodes
- Use lights to adjust the look of the shader
- Add procedural details
- Generate 2D outlines using modifier
To follow along, you can download the project files, which are located under the video (click the link below).
