Rendering 101 - pt. 24: Building Non Photorealistic Shaders In Redshift
Added 2020-07-24 06:24:18 +0000 UTCUsually I’m not massively into Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR), but Dan McPharlin’s style got me inspired to try and build a shader that imitates this particular style. Stylistically it’s between McPharlin, Planète sauvage and Roger Dean.
Makes heavy use of Cornelius Dämmrich's amazing grunge/smudge textures.

I love that you created for this style of render. Do you think there would be a way to create engraving style etchings with hatch marks in place for the stippling you did here? I absolutely love these videos Mo, I'm constantly dumbfounded by what you are able to do in this software.

2021-09-03 04:01:37 +0000 UTCThis was really great Mo. This type of grain shading is really in at the moment and to see it possible in RS is pretty neat. Often I've had to use a combination of passes from mantra and RS to create this outline/npr shading effect which is pretty cumbersome. I'm envious of what is capable in the Arnold NPR arsenal. Arnold seems to have this magical 'Curvature filter' which seems to do a lot of the heavy lifting.

The only "detour" that happened was when I decided to add shadowing via point attributes. As far as mantra shading goes - I'd have to see this to be able to provide at least half-decent advice :) Cheers, Mo

2020-08-27 13:37:41 +0000 UTCSo my question is how long did it take you to figure it out and how many detours and dead ends did you discover on the way? ;) Also.. I tried to replicate the network in Mantra but got stuck on the noise pattern. Only the cellular noise comes close, but does not offer a bias input. I guess I need to replace that with some blend/mix/fit magic?

2020-07-26 17:19:40 +0000 UTCI think there are a few topics left to cover: Physically based shading, passes and getting rid of noise... What would you like to have covered? Cheers, Mo

2020-07-25 18:57:04 +0000 UTCHi, I was wondering how long the Redshift tutorials will continue?

2020-07-25 13:14:36 +0000 UTCYess, I'm a long time fan of this type of retro sci-fi style! Great tutorial, thank you. One thing that I do miss (switching from Vray) is the easy toon line shader (with options to hide inner lines etc). Would that be difficult to create in Redshift? EDIT: Nevermind, this tutorial includes the toonish outlines.. Cheers!
