Here's the Blender to Pixel Art pipeline tutorial. This shader should be super helpful for pixel artists learning how to pixel objects that look correct with 3D rotation. It's also just really nice to be able to see how lighting would accurately work on objects that are complex.

jsyk I barely have any Blender experience. I just toy with it every now & then.

Make sure to change this to "Standard"

Awesome tutorial, glad to see creators sharing their knowledge. Think this is a great tool like you said for quickly testing out different pixel art lighting setups.

F gatekeeping :) Thank you!

Just an fyi. You can turn on realtime compositing and see that in the realtime rendered view

Ooo that’s super helpful! Is there a chance you could upload the video to your YouTube too? Would make it easier to access

maybe at some point. I need a thumbnail guy lol

I’m half tempted to volunteer with that, but my pixel art skills are still novice XD

All good, I'd want to pay someone to do it if possible.

Yeah that’s prob smart Tho for this I think something you made would fit better, eat what you make so to speak

also a good workflow for doing classic ps1 era rendered backgrounds.

This is awesome im absolutely gonna use this

Thank You.

This sounds like it might be the way to go for accurate pixel art maybe. Considering someone is not an expert at Aesprite.

Just when I was finished struggling making a pixelart shader with many failed attempts, this video appears XD

Wish I coulda been here sooner!

Nah it's okay, I guess it helps to get used to Blender by spending more time experimenting.

You could also generate Normal maps like this if you wanted to do dynamic lighting in-engine

I didn’t even think of that. Awesome

Is there any download to this addon?

It's not an add on, but here's the blender file that I used here

thank you for sharing this !!!

Awesome video! Just want you to know I found this via Google recommendation I guess since I love pixel art, but still so random! I’m pretty happy with the algorithm though because this really is the stuff I want to see that wouldn’t even know to search for. Cheers bro 🍻

I don't even know what a google recommendation is 😆. But thank you :)

Good tutorial. I have done something similar in the past. Add a color mixer that is set to multiply with the color ramp as one input and a texture for the other input. For finer control over the specific colors, use a texture per shade and a math node to pick which one is output.
