This works in blender 4.3 this guy knows what he is doing props. Love the style.

This is too heavy to understand for a beginner like me, but the video will certainly be saved for later, because the day will come, where I totally get it and then I will either recreate it, or use it for inspiration. Really good stuff, I am amazed.

[Szaboo]

This is amazing. Especially thank you for sharing the files, such a time-saver.

[jeffg]

really sick ... i'm bookmarking this one. It's a standout.

[saltnickel]

This is lovely! You blended all the blender techniques, your wisdom, and tools really well in blender

[MatthewsWd]

Incredibly convincing result! Can't wait to try out your techniques!

[FinalMotion]

oh my goodness, the Fresnel mix between the black emission and transparent is so smart!!!

ive been using inverted hull, but it always has limitations, this way is so smart!!!!

[Nikita-Trofimov]

Yesterday I tried to make a shader, not knowing that you have already done exactly the same. Thank you for sharing the blend file, I will use yours, you saved my time. 🙌

[darviniusb]

You have some mad shading skills. Neer seen such a technique.

[schnuckiputzi]

Uff,
I think i'm in love with the way this looks, thank you so much for sharing this awesome looking shader!!!

[bunnybreaker]

Such alchemy! That bit with the weight modifier on the solidify outline hull blew my mind. Never seen or used that modifier before. Going to study this. Thanks.

[Groffili]

Now that's impressive. I was looking for something like that for ages. Definitly something to test out and see what could be done with it.

The particle instance lines are an interesting technique, but I don't think they quite fit with this style. If you could reduce them to the outline only, it might have a purpose... but as they are here, they are just a bunch of random lines across the sketch. Again, something worth looking into.

All in all verdict: Stunning!

[ralphmodynlosugarteeth]

Such an amazing technique, thank you so much for sharing. People like you make the 3d comunity greater

[TheShayboosofficial]

Absolutely stunning. I'm gonna adapt this and try to make it look as good while animated

[johnmcbrosel]

[cenkocenk]

[Fleischkopf]

[stevedowning]

Wonderful work, I really appreciate you making the file with the all-important shaders available like that. Bonus point for the dark ambient backing music. Drone on!
