Hi! how can we make sure lines show with the line art modifier in front of volumetric fog? i'm trying to use a fog in my scene with the lines but my fog completely negates all the lines as soon as i turn it on, is there a way to ignore the fog in line art settings? i've tried to make it collection only but that doesnt seem to work
Dude you are the goat, I have never seen a more precise outline technic explanation ever, normally people only teach one and move on, thank you for your wisdom
I don't remember if I commented yet or not, but I need to say that I just don't know why you don't have more subscribers. This is the only channel I have ever seen talk about this, and I needed it so long ago. The geometry nodes thing is giving me a bit of anxiety, but it also is exactly what i need. I needed to be able to add rounded corners on the inside of things, not to mention I want to do anime, and most of the time, the insides of lines are like that. This is genuinely glorious. And the ability to edit the line art and make it look more interesting is something I have wanted for ages. My only wish is that the lines could look like some of my fave line art tools I use. I love going for an intentionally scratchy look. It makes drawings look more visually appealing, and helps an artist stand out from the typical Instagram artists because it being less perfect and polished makes it better.
Good Sir, it is my humble opinion that your channel is possibly the most underrated blender channel on RUclips. You should be over 100,000 subscribers like yesterday. I don't share many RUclips videos but you sir need to be well know in the community. Dude you are Fresh! Excellent video!!!!
This is my fist time here and I just really had to say that I LOVE your content. I'm a 2D artist who is very much intrigued with Blender and 3d modelling but don't have any motivation in learning by creating 3D looking stuff. I'm just not interested in that art style but your channel hits perfectly where my interest lies in. Please keep expanding on these topics!
This video " blue my mind " 😂😂. No 20hour videos- quick and to the point. How come I have never seen you channel before? Glad to have stumbled here. You my friend got a sub from me.
This is so great, I could only ever find that same old backface culling outline tutorial before this, glad I subscribed to you! Your editing is really funny and the tutorials are insightful, keep posting my dude your channel has a lot of potential
If you choose to do the outline with geometry nodes, you can also add a clamp to the scale giving you a bit more control of the outline (Acts the same as a clamp in the solidify version) helped me when some of the outlines were way to thick and scale wasn't doing much
this is the tutorial i didnt know i needed. and you add so much character to your videos with all the memes and sound effects scattered through. i love it
Wow, your instructions are amazing! Thank you for taking the time to put them together. You have no idea how much time I have spent searching for a sensible ways to create outlines in Blender. Although I have been using Blender for a while, I am still a newbie when it comes to using Grease Pencil. Your instructions are incredibly helpful. Thanks a million!🙂
the most efficient method for look dev viewport animations in real-time is outline with shaders, solidify method increases poly count too much for viewport to handle and the geo-node method is also too heavy for single threaded workloads, use solidify for low poly objects with hard edges and use shader method on other objects
@@levimagony its not for final production its to get a generalized feel of your work, once you get the results you're looking for, toggle the solidify method for renders only, i'd say for viewport look dev its good enough.
@@xX_SweetAngel_Xx yeah a cute aesthetic beginner series is a big dream of mine to make, but that's gotta wait a bit. I'm not really into anime characters, but thanks for the info, that's useful for sure, at least I know where to find them in case I need one. You can make grease pencil lines pretty messy with modifiers and effects, like noise, envelope, length offset and son on, combine these and you'll definitely get a complete mess😁
If you create a discord channel, all of your socials will definitely grow and i guess you already know it but i dont understand the reason behind the delay. Anyways, your tutorials are like a hidden treasure to me, very talented.
That outline with compositor trick is a method I've been looking for, for basically since I started using Blender. And that's not the only excellent tip here. Combined with your excellent presentation style, everyone should subscribe tbh
@@levimagony I have just one follow-up question in that regard. So, the dilation compositor effect seems useful for outsetting outlines, but what if you want to inset an outline? That is to say, you make the outline intrude into the shape itself. I was wondering if you knew how?
@@mostafabalboul3966 mhmm that's a bit tricky, idk if this works but maybe if you combine two dilate nodes and one is smaller other one is bigger one is black one is white so you mask them out somehow,
Hello! love your content! I have a question, in my timeline it doesn't show the keyframe where the lineart was created. How can I make visible? Thank you for your help
Fantastic!!! I really like your video. I followed first method and succeeded in everything. What kind of channel is the keyframe that was made when I converted edge to Grease Pencil? I want to use that channel to make an animation that turns on and off the outline. Thank you so much!!
Hey Levi, love your vids; they are super helpful. Can you teach me how to render image sequences with the "outline with compositor" method? I couldn't figure out how to render an animation in PNG, with transparent background and the outline with compositor all together. 🥲I need the outline with compositor method because the edges doesn't bled into the mesh.
Go to render properties (camera icon), film > enable transparent. When you are in the compositor make sure you plug the node setup into the compositor output and render.
@@levimagony Thanks for the reply! I did all of them already before, but I finally figured it out; I had to plug Dilate/Erode into Composite's alpha as well to get transparency and the outline rendered in image sequence. Thanks for giving me the final push to tackle it again!! (I can't believe it was so simple, I was honestly gonna give up after hours of head scratching today lol)
omg this tut is amazing ive been trying to look for other ways to outline outside grease pencil ❤I also wanted to ask how do you get that gorgeous dither pixel effect/shader at 1:28? Its so pretty 🤩
I have my models set on cycles and it has a fisheye perspective on it but these are pretty basic models. I attempted applying your tips in the video but even after creating backface culling via nodes the object itself still appears fully black aka the colour of its outline. I cross-checked everything and I have no other shaders applied to them but they're still very black. what do I do? :/
Hey Levi I'm just going through with practicing this and at the very begining of my blender journey also so... How do I select the outlines/edges on 00:27? I'm having a bit of trouble with just that step (ctrl + alt + right click is not working for me) Thanks!
With Alt click, don't hit Ctrl. Hold down shift to keep the selections when you select a new edge, so select the first edge with alt then hold down shift + alt and select the next edge, and so on...
@@levimagony exactly what the people in the blender discord told me! I ended up using the first method, the grease pencil one. I'll tag you in IG soon with the results, that are obviously awesome! You are the man!
Hey , I wanted to start learning blender , and this artstyle(?) is exactly what I want to achieve , I'm a complete beginner (I just know how to model basic thing with no shading or anything at all) and I would like to know if it wil use more or less RAM ?
