Скачать или смотреть Making 3D animation look painterly (it's easier than you think)

In this video, I'll go over a surprisingly simple way to make your stylized 3D renders feel like a painting. I do it by painting over Object Space Normal Maps, which is not as scary as it sounds. This technique allows us to capture the feeling of a 2D painting while maintaining the flexibility of 3D.

I used Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, and Rebelle to make the stylized tea kettle scene.

Thanks for watching :)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you paint World Space in Substance Painter/How do you paint on two channels at the same time?

In this video, I'm painting on a custom channel. The only reason it's "world" is because that's what I named it. Substance has no idea what it actually is and you can't preview it as a normal map in the software. You'll have to export it to your renderer to test it.

Tyson explains the setup in this video:    • substance dual paint layers  


How do you convert your painted object space map to tangent space?

You can just bake it again to a new image texture, but this time in tangent space. Just make sure your painterly object space normal map is plugged into your shader when you do it.


Can I do this procedurally or semi-procedurally?

Yeah! Check out these videos:
