Pixel Art with eevee - FREE blender addon

As I said in the video, my addon is based on his work (with his permission). It is a modified version of his setup to work with eevee, bayer dithering and multiple light sources

I like how after the obsession of making everything super realistic "because we finally can" now people are going back to classic pixel art but this time we use more advanced methods

Hello! If you are using a new version of Blender which uses Eevee Next and encounter an issue while trying to set render settings, you might have to edit the 28th line in addon PY file, changing 'BLENDER_EEVEE' to 'BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT'. Reinstall the addon after that, it worked for me.

I absolutely love how the cat render came out, makes me excited to try it!

So, I really loved the add-on, but I have lots of issues with Eevee's freestyle tool, I don't think we have enough control while using it. So, I've came up with a solution of using the Ambient Occlusion node to make the edges of the object:

Use two of them, check "Inside" as true for one of them (make sure you configure "Distance" in both of them).

After that, use "math multiply" to combine them, followed by a color ramp set to constant mode and configure the black/white ratio.

Use another math multiply before the color ramp where we select the model colors and combine with these nodes we just added

This leaves the model with no outlines though, which I think could be solver by using generic toon shader solutions (easily found on youtube).

To make the Outline outside of the object, use common methods for Toon Shading Outline found on youtube (I tried the duplicate mesh method)

While there are some cases where the Freestyle setting may work better, this method gives lots of creative options also. Give it a try!

Dude, where has this stuff been? I've been doing pixel art since 2002 and messing with polys in everything from Lightwave to Blender, hoping to make pixel versions of my art somehow. This is life changing. 💯

[LimeJade]

Absolutely fantastic work, I've done a lot of methods over the years trying to achieve these results and nothing has looked as good as this!

Love to see more examples with this effect.

You earn yourself a new sub! 👍

I'll may use this style on my next videos, thanks a lot for sharing.

Find and replace "bpy.data.scenes["Scene"]." to "bpy.context.scene." and change "BLENDER_EEVEE" to "BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT" and it'll work on 4.2
