Simple Toon Shader in Blender [Eevee]

We're taking a look at a basic Toon/Cel shader in Blender today, with some simple 3D modelling & details done with grease pencil. Let's goo!!

Man, you gotta love it when you see a master at their craft and I don't even mean Blender. This is a smooth ass tutorial.

This was literally the perfect timing. I’m working on my first complete 3D film and this is PERFECT!! And it doesn’t make my brain hurt! These are such simple steps to follow through on all my scenes. Not a 45+ minute real time setup. Thank you for making great content!

What a great touch to use grease pencil for those extra details! Thanks for putting all this together and making it easy to follow.

I LOVE THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Small update to the people finding this tutorial: the grease pencil tool doesn't works anymore without "Auto Keying" (the dot symbol down on the animation timeline) turned off. It HAS to be turned on for this method to work. Alternatively you can unwrap your 3D model and draw on a new material on top without using the grease pencil.

If anyone else is having issues with lighting when increasing the border thickness, go to the border material settings and select "None" in Shadow Mode, under the "Settings" dropdown.

amazing. i started blender a week ago and i've spent 3-4 hours seeing what tutorials i should follow, saved this playlist. can't wait to see more, TY!

Love the fast paced less hand holdy style of this tutorial while still giving enough info to replicate the artwork yourself

[randomperson]

This was so easy to follow I did the shading in just 2 min! While other tutorials took more than a few hours!!!! Thank you, now I can make my "2d" animation process easier.

Man. I remember when you had to jump through hoop after hoop to get only a passible cellshading. This is just great. Thank you.

[Splachi]

Fast, easy to understand, learned a bunch of useful things while doing the tutorial, very well explained.
Clearly one of, if not the best tutorial I have ever seen.

[SillyPolygons]

Superb tutorial, thank you, i was having problems with other tutorials because nobody mentions you have to render in Eevee but know i've got the results i've been looking for.

cheers

Fantastic video, easy step by step cel shading, no blah blah just straight to the point, thanks bro !

[jehriko]

This looks great, thank you! Definitely coming back for more blender help should I need it in the future!

[sergeyshel]

Thank you! Great lesson! Easy, simple, beautiful!

[bookle]

This is such a great, simple tutorial!

[Automatik]

Woah! This is amazing! Many other toon or cell shaders are overly convoluted and easy to mess up. This is actually easy to follow!

[SpieleSuchti]

Some really interesting techniques in there. Thank you!

[thefirebeanie]

What I like about this is it’s multiple tutorials in one and it shows how to use them together I can here to get the cartoony look and learned som other stuff

[wilhelmeniabilliedoherty]
