Doing it now might be a bad idea, I imagine these videos take a lot of effort since you have to watch Arcane with a keen eye, isolate details, conceptualize them and basically reverse engineer them to an okay workflow in blender and with Blender shifting focusing texturing and texture painting, it may all have changed at the end of the year to allow for a better workflow.

@@kieranidris1103 It is not a good learning process, why learn an obsolete deprecated workflow that has significant disadvantages when we know there is one being designed perhaps for the explicit purpose? You are fundamentally misunderstanding the situation if you equate rework to small incremental changes. This video in particular is basically exclusive to Blender.

@@TheLolilol321 Indeed, they're actually rehauling texture painting and how it works with Blender 3.3 on, taking out the current/old method in the process. Not sure how it'll affect how these will work in the future, hoping they do a follow-up to aid with the new texture paint implementations because this is amazing!

Wow, this series is actual gold. This quick edit menu is a hidden gem I never knew about. Your tutorials have been a tremendous help for me when it comes to stylized rendering!

That texture projection back and forth between blender and photoshop blew my mind.

Thank you guys, i just really appreciate your art and beyond that, the fact that you share knowledge how you do it is just amazing

Absolutely astounding tutorial! So many advanced techniques explained both seamlessly and in-depth to include people from different entry points to be able to follow along. Truly grateful for this!

This is CRAZY work. Really pushing the limits of what Blender can achieve, and as an individual no less, talent OVER THE TOP

you're an absolute beast. It's rare to have such detailed tutorials from someone with so much experience, it's greatly appreciated.

This is exactly the kind of approach I've been slowly developing over the past year. This tutorial just saved me months of research and experimentation I'm sure. Thank you SO MUCH!

omg this is the best blender tutorial I've ever seen. So many UNEXPECTED useful tools are learned. You are a true artist that can manipulate any tool to present your idea.

this is the tutorial I was looking for for months! I've tried and errored my way through learning camera projection as a 2d artist and I did manage to make scenes I'm happy with. But duuuude! Duuude the texture baking in Evee is such a game changer. I'm literally about to paint your god damn face with a halo into into my sketchbook! You! Are! The one I was waiting for!! This is SOO AWESOME!!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this. You're forever changing my creative process into something I enjoy and ,feel more passion, for. I really hope for more tutorials on ways to apply camera mapping in big scenes. This is blowing my mind!

Thanks so much Zorika! Comments like yours make all the work putting these tutorials together worth it a thousand times over. Many of these techniques are new findings for us too and we were eager to share them with the community!

I was smiling from beginning to end while doing this. You guys don't even know how value you are!!

Damn, baking in Eevee? What a fantastic and unsuspected workaround! Keep it up David, wonderful work as always.

I can't believe I'm watching this for free. This is phenomenal! Thank you!

2 minutes in and I can already tell you have a great eye and give acurate descripitions of whats going on in the scene. You just earned my sub

This is for art directors absolutely. I need a good command of everything, 2d ,modeling, shading, texturing to fully understand how this process came into being.

This is the tutorial I've been waiting sooooo long for lol! I love how you analyze the problem before hand before working out how to approach the problem. Camera mapping & baking has been an issue I've had trouble with for a while This is gonna help my own projects so much thank you for your efforts here!

DUDE, as I'm pretty advanced in blender it's rare i still have mind blown moments in blender tutorials. But this just blew me away. That external edit feature is so powerful. I'll buy some gumroad stuff from you as thanks for bringing this up!

Gosh this series is an early birthday present, I just got into animation and blender and it was thanks to Arcane! This series has been my saving grace, thank you so much!

this is AMAZING, not only to know about the arcane style, but just so helpful for texture work in general thank you so much

I just started getting serious about blender and I'm amazed by your channel. I feel like you're giving away mythical secrets for free! super inspiring, so excited about creating stuff, thank you!

I'm a musician and just watched your whole video because I wanted to know how Arcane achieved some of those results. You delivered that and more! Great work.

you guys are teaching the big things, you guys deserve may more views with this quality both in videos and products.

this. is. GOLD!! I've always wanted to learn Blender, but not sure where to start from. Arcane is one of my favorite show of all time. Then BOOM! TUTORIAL!! this is awesome. thank you for making.

This show is literally the reason I want to get into Blender; recreating this look.

Brilliantly informative tutorial! I am obsessed with Arcane’s art style.

One of the best tutorials about camera projections in Blender on YT, thanks for sharing! :)

this was an awesome breakdown of both the method but also how Arcane achieved their look. Fantastic work!

This is incredible!!! I never knew you could do stuff like this, thank you!!

The 3rd and possibly most dynamic way, would be to create 2 hand painted textures (one which is dark or default, and one which is light or colour dodge). Then inside blender's compositing, you create a live alpha texture to switch between the two based on a light's position. To get some randomness, you could distort the live alpha texture ever so slightly.

I always knew this took a lot of work for them, but know I truly understand how incredible Arcane is. Thanks :)

This is amazing tutorial. It opened door for me to place where i didnt want to go ever. Well thank you for that

Its insane how good this tutorial is , at first I did not understand the implications of the quick edit method so I was like ???? But as the video progressed I got it and was like !!!!!!! Omg this is brilliant , thank you for this tutorial , this is gold

This is amazing. You're doing amazing work in defining NPR shaders for Blender, and in sharing that knowledge. Thanks so much!!

This has got to be one of the best tutorials for blender on youtube

Amazing series you have done. Watched whole 40 minutes with pleasure. Great content, huge love.

Thank you. I do a lot of research and training rn and this is really supportive for my projects and me as an artist

I have no words... My mind is absolutely blown... Incredible thank you so much

This is one of the best Blender tutorials I've ever seen on KZread. And it's FREE!! 😧

This is masterfully crafted. You're a hero for making this.

epic tutorials I've never seen you make everytime! INCREDIBLE!

this is one of the most helpful videos out there regarding stylized 3D in between blender and photoshop, thanks for sharing your workflow, really tempting to buy your geonodes XD

Dude I just saw the made of arcane series and I was so frustrated that they didn’t show their composition process, sir, thank you thank you so so much you answer the questions that where in my head so beautiful, I will always cherish this information, what a wonderful person you are, I wish you all the success in the world

Projecting into the UV is HUGE! Thanks for the tutorial

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG!! I've been really into studying blender recently and arcane has been a good motivation and this series is pure blessing!. Tho, if I may suggest it would be great to include the link to the original artist you use as reference - since you mentioned their artstation to begin with, not just so it'll easier for the viewers to find it, It'll be a nice form of support for the artist too!

Just finished the first part with the hair. Perfect timing!

This is my new favourite Blender tutorial

This is mindblowing. The whole thing is above and beyond, however, the one thing that I’m trying to come to peace with is that the EEVEE camera bake/quick-edit trick shown is incremental! It took me sometime to realize that it mixes up the incoming alpha information, leaving the transparent pixels from before untouched and all of that at the right place inside completely unwrapped uv… magic.

This tutorial is pure gold! Thanks!!!

I don't know, but i can't find words, it's just simply awesome!

Merci! On met le shader à vendre pour ceux qui veulent nous encourager, mais pour le reste, ça nous fait juste honnêtement plaisir de partager nos découvertes. J'ai grandi sur les vidéos de Video Copilot avec Andrew Kramer, et ses tutoriaux sur After Effets était tellement cools, et son plaisir était contagieux. Dur à croire que Blender est aussi complètement gratuit. Dans ce contexte, c'est un peu notre façon de donner au suivant! :)

I'm just a beginner with Blender at the moment but I feel like this is going to be super helpful at some point. Thank you for sharing these techniques!

randomly stumble onto this, very nice tricks. Especially the paint over technique for different angles, it can prolly be set to run procedurally when certain triangles faces camera enough or get closer, then this style can be transferred into video games.

Wow... I've been projection painting for months now and didn't know about the quick edit thing... thank you so much!

It's crazy, heh? I'm still amazed myself. My personal favorite discovery of the year, hands down. I used to do something similar years ago with ZBrush, there was an add-on that would help you bring a render in Photoshop and reproject, that's how we did all the textures for our short film Le Gouffre back in the days. But now I can do it right from Blender, how cool is that?

Thank you so much for sharing the process. Result is awesome.

what a masterclass on this aesthetic. great vid

gonna need you to continue this series I am obsessed with arcane visual style and character design, would love to see a video on charecter design

This tutorial is super useful! Thank you so much for sharing with us! 🙏

Another great addition to the series! If you are having difficulty creating the textures for your cube using Photoshop, you can emulate a similar texture using the methods shown in the Character Shading/Texturing section without the need for hand painting.
