Modeling a 3D Spider Character in Blender

I made this Toon Shaded 3D Spider for fun. I hope you find it inspiring and try it yourself.

Bro you did a better outline effect than all the tutorials I watched, like simple, straight forward and even you can adjust it!!

[andixpiwi]

people with arachnophobia will be so thankful that you didn't give it two of it's eight legs so that they can't be scared of it

[lars-carton]

Damn mate, that Illustrator / Blender workflow tip was incredible, never heard of it before! Sick!

[megapixeler]

Man I really like your style, the shapes, the proportions, the techniques, simple yet they pack a heavy punch.

Speak for yourself dracula, I'm a fresh green newbie 😳

at first by how it started i was worried this tutorial was gonna be "heres how to make a toon shaded 3d spider: first download a spider 3d model, then apply a toon shader"

thankfully it was not that

I watched exactly 1 minute of this video, and it explained how to make a better toon material then some tutorials that spend 10 minutes on it.

WOW!! 1st 40sec I already learned a new trick. DOPE LINE ART TECHNIQUE

[enragedcoffey]

this is actually a nice tutorial for general modeling
and i have never seen anybode use backface culling for outlines

[kenzietownsend]

The edge to curve outline idea was so cool. Blew my mind.

I find it easier to get the toon outline mesh by using a solidify modifier with even thickness checked, that way your starting mesh will always be equally far from the inner mesh

[fusion]

This is the best too. Shader iv ever seen. All toon shaders you can tell are 3D still but this looks like actually 2d animation

Such a satisfying spider model.
I don't know what's happening, but I'd like to.
Looking forward to more tutorials, I love hearing you explain your process.

OMG THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!
I'LL LEARN A LOT FROM THIS, THANK YOU!

[Zii-Wong]

Thank you so much for the method you mentioned at the end of the video, helps me a lot!!
Very impressive spider!!

i absolutely love how the model looks! i love spiders and stylized 3D. i especially love the varied thickness of the outline. the eyes of the spider are so cute and the skull looks so cool

[COMPACTOR]

This video was fun to watch and it also inspired me to try modeling for myself. Also the tip at the end of the video was amazing.

Awesome, you know, you can put the outline using a solidify modifier of course is less customizable but not destructive

[YSNostalgia]

I have been having such a hard time trying to get perfect out lines in the 3d viewport. the technique you used was absolutely genius.Thank you so much for this tutorial.

[lomborg]

You can make the outlines with the solidify modifier.
There are tutorials on YouTube

I like the model btw. Looks like one of the spiders from Jak 3
