tutorials on shading for sakuga animation

#1

Hi.
Sooo… I’ve asked around the web now, looked every bit up there is… and theres quite NOTHING out there that would teach someone how to shade a cube like this thing from evangelion

People mentioned it would be a cel shader but then again nobody could really explain much to me.
sooo… yeah. What i’m looking for is a tutorial on how to color something EXACTLY this way. I need that knowledge.

Then on the other hand, last talk about anything sakuga related on here was 4 years ago so my hopes are low.

From here it looks like colored glass but its reflecting a toon shaded environment.
Thats what i would start with anyway.
There are tutorials for both aspects out there for many software.

Try Cinema4D’s Sketch and Toon. Its good for stuff like that.

Otherwise, any cel shader / toon shader for any 3D soft should be able to do something like this.

You’ve basically got inked black polygon edges here, what looks like a translucent interior object (could be fluids), and they set the whole thing’s environment reflection to reflect a sphere with toon-shaded white clouds on it.

Not very hard to do.

oh yeah that cloud sphere i saw in the blender animation.

However, I still got no idea how to do that so if you got any tutorials that precisely contain education on that topic, I’m glad to see them all.

Really informative discussion. Thanks all
