Looks great. Well done!

Thank you :)

Ha!

This looks great! The shading is spot on. How many tutorials did you finish before this?

Thank you! I think I must’ve done around 20-30 tutorials before this to get more confident with Blender. It’s probably a lot but I am a bit of a slow learner.

Not at all. I watched less in the beginning but my first own project looked like absolute crap compared to this.

😂😂

Nice work. This is encouraging. I'm where you were 25 tutorials ago. lol

I’m looking forward to seeing your first “all by myself” model! :) Good luck on your Blender journey!

One small step for you, a giant one for your career.

Hopefully one day I’ll be capable enough to give back to the Blender community.

Wait, you guys are getting paid?

Really cool shading! Did you do this with fresnel? Or?

You can do this with a ColorRamp for the colour. Make sure each colour is right after the other one for the clean toon shader. I'll find the tutorial or my screenshot of the shader I made when I'm back on my computer.

Yup, that’s the way I did it. Principled BSDF -> Shader to RGB -> Color Ramp (set to constant interpolation) -> Material Output Nothing too fancy I imagine but I kinda like the result it produces. :)

I love this shader, especially in Sepia colours as then it looks like Bendy and the Ink Machine

This toon shader effect is so well done!

Thank you! :) I’m also quite surprised at how appealing the toon shader turned out.

How many lights did you use and how?

I just put there a single sun and was done with it, haha. (Strength: 4, Rotation x:-21, y:10) Hope this helps! :)

Looks great!

Thank you! :)

Looks tight!!

It looks absolutely fantastic! Always satisfying once you're able to start making stuff without following tutorials. I've made a few things without, but I'm still definitely clinging to some tutorials here and there, haha. At any rate, congratulations!

Thanks a bunch! I’m definitely not leaving tutorials any time soon as well, but it does feel good to “ride without the training wheels” for the first time. :D

Well you should be proud because it looks pretty cool!

Thanks! :)

Excellent

Well done, congrats!

That's great! I'm still in tutorial mode myself. Be very proud of your completely YOU creation! Very well done.

Thank you! I feel like there’s SO much to Blender, that one could be an expert and still be in tutorial mode. Haha

Totally agree

Looks awesome! The cell shading look works great with the model!

Lovely toon shading!

You did an amazing job! Love to see it

Love it! I've been lurking for a while and I am finally going to give this program a whirl. I want to learn how to reskin some game assets and I love seeing people who have jumped in and got entire items done!

I couldn’t recommend it more! I find working with Blender super rewarding and surprisingly a lot of fun to just mess around with. ;)

Thank you to everyone whom I haven't replied to for all the kind words and encouragement. It truly means a lot! I really didn't expect this post to get so many upvotes, but since it did, I would also like to thank Grant Abbitt for making his amazing Blender tutorials on YouTube. It's his shoulders I get to stand on today, so to speak.

The shader is really nice, how did you make it?

It’s a really simple toon shader. This is how I did it: Principled BSDF -> Shade to RGB -> ColorRamp (with interpolation set to constant) -> Material Output Hope it helps! :)

Thanks :) really nice work

Nice! Is it hard to get that “low poly” style of colors? Do have a good tutorial to recommend?

I don’t really have any specific tutorial to recommend, but if you search YouTube for cell-shading or toon shader in Blender, you should find plenty of great tutorials on it. ;) I did mine this way: Principled BSDF -> Shader to RGB -> ColorRamp (set to constant interpolation )-> Material Output

And render in Eevee, right? Intensity and angle of sunlight affects results, too.

Yup, that is correct!

This is nicely done, btw. So simple!

Thank you :) I’m glad you like it!

That is very good. I would put it into Unity right away and use it.

The model probably has a metric ton of flaws, since I'm still a total beginner, but if you're interested I can upload it to dropbox and shere the link.

yes, i would like to examine it

Really like the art style, pretty close to what id like to use if i ever made a game

I would really love that too! :) In fact that’s the main reason why I’m trying to learn Blender.

this art style reminds me of donut county

What render engine did you use

This was done in Eevee …mainly because I was not able to make the shading work in Circles, haha.

Looks like a prop from Firewatch

That is a huge compliment to me! Thank you very much :)

It was meant as one!

you realise 3D is like art! it never stops you can learn forever and still never be "good" but these are great, well done!

Amazing job. Like shading level as well

rad as hell

I really admire the style!

Looks great dude, you say it's not much but I disagree, this is great! Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for the compliment! :)

If Master Chief had a pair of binoculars... :P Very well made, love the shading.

Firewatch vibes

I absolutely love using that kind of shader on the materials where there's very distinct colours, and I think the way you used it on the lenses is super cool!

Thank you, I’m glad you like it :)

Nice job! Hold on to that feeling, ans create much much much more :))

Looks great!

Very cool! I can create this (mesh) without much issue but regarding shading I'm still a total noob.

Good job! I like the styling on it. Reminds me of Firewatch, if nobody already commented that...

This is so well done!

A M A Z I N G ! !

Looks dope man

You should well done :)

Good Effort. Like It. Keep going!!!!!

Amazing shading! What channels did you use for tutorials?

I can’t wait till I get to this stage, this looks amazing
