don't know why people gotta make it either or kinda thing when realistic games and stylized games have existed in harmony for years

Mentions ligne claire shows Tintin gives credit to Moebius instead of Hergé I'm well aware Moebius was extremely influential in the style, BUT Hergé pioneered it

This is awesome man, keep it up!!

You should've done dots also in post-processing step. That would've helped with resolution and texture seams.

Industry: WE NEED REAEAEAELISTIC GRAFICS; CAUSE BEST; NOTHING BETTER; CONSUME PRODUCT. (Loses Millions apon Billions do to nobody wanting there samey and insanely overpriced Slop) Some Furry: Haha, made funny cartoon grafics, by doing what i like and experimenting around. (Swimms in cash by selling "Lethal Company" for a few Dollars)

Stylized games have always been a thing, i dont get why people are acting as if its something new

Great project! I noticed while you showed the dot shader that on the truck that has this additional roof thing your UV maps are not equal in size for all components. Either you try and get all uv maps to be representative of the length in the object or you seperate low length regions in your uv map with high length regions and rescale them in your shader. Also i can recommend using 3 colors to code your surfaces and in the shader apply 3 shaders to the respektive colours. This way you could introduce 3 artstyles at once on one object or 3 intensities or scales on the object to get for example huge dots on the large planes and small dots on the detailed stuff. Or introduce 2 artstyles and 1 natural/realistic/ mirroring artstyle. The combination of multiple partial shaders on one uv map is one sideproject i hugely enjoyed.

Zelda it's not good example of stylization imo. Borderlands 1-3, Superhot, Ori and Cuphead. These bangers are the first games that come to my mind when I think of stylization. These games have their own unique style, the artists and programmers worked hard to surprise us and the result speaks for itself. As bad as it sounds lol, but genshin impact looks much better than Zelda in terms of stylization, and besides there are even physically correct details (like the subsurface light scattering on the skin of the characters (cartoonish!) and it looks cool! Zelda is not a stylized game, it's too simplistic in many aspects, and the scenery in this game just seems like one big problem... The detail of the objects is too different and it's not even the fact that the game is for the Switch handheld console, it just lacks cohesiveness in the elaboration on different levels (or plans) of artistic graphics. And of course, realism isn't boring, it just needs to be creatively manipulated like stylized graphics do.

Kind of Acerola vibes. Like it

Since everything is black and white you can really see the dithering. Also people draw in strokes and not waves… you should make the lines arch and not just random waves.

despelote!!!

yes

YES. less photo-ultra-realism! Reality is enough. Game development is ART, not factory work.

great video

Man 1000 subs? What a banger of a video. Great start of the video too lmbao

This is a really well made video, good stuff!

Your cat is so cute!

Great video but the singing in the background is annoying.

I thought of doing something like this once. Very cool!

1:55 fuck everyone who says you can't compare A to B if. You can always compare. It's so dumb to say you can only compare similar things. Or things on the same level.

Beauty is primarily in transparency and reflections.

so on your halftone shader instead of sampling your dot texture by the object's uvs, I would sample the shader based on screenspace coordinates. Then you won't see the uv seams and also it would match the way real halftone printing works, where they're printing pictures on the page not on the objects inside the picture.

There are two games I think you should take inspiration from: madworld, and ultimate spiderman. They both have the sort of look you're going for (as does jet set radio, but namely those two above, I think).

I will add to that, I do hate that now everything has to be realistic as possible. But there's yet another option, stylized realism (idk how else to call it), the movie movie Rango is highly detailed and a lot of it looks realistic yet it is stylized. Not sure how they did it

So we need impressionist graphics

5:51 ah yes THE image

Graphics are temporary, artstyle lasts forever

figure out how to make a realistic style interesting (like mirrors edge): OF COURSE NOOOOOOO do the same thing that every indie game does many years, and frankly it's already boring: SURE, GIVE ME TWO

I dont know anything about computer graphics and programming but that was really enjoing to watch! What you made reminds me of that one game where you walk around a city spray painting anything and pissing everywhere! Looking forward to seeing more from you!

The realistic stuff is cool for simulations, maybe some movies. But man i live in reality. Like I love anime so much because it’s so different than reality, found a way to visually improve it. Reality is the default, stylized is custom.

Nice project with really good results! But I have to say, the rendering eq. and PBR, are not for just realism. They are frameworks for scene & lighting cohesion. There are 4 rules for PBR and you can plug materials (and BRDFs) that are stylizes, and further that with post-processing, taking advantage all the modern enhancements to lighting with a very strong artistic vision and presentation!

This might by my ADHD but please stop the moving background it makes it really hard to focus on the point(s) you're trying to get across

but Acerola

What's the name of the orchestral piece at 0:51?

nice video about npr

looks great !!

Ameye has a great blogpost on different outline rendering techniques which might be worth reading, easy to find if you google Ameye edge detect or something similar. TL;DR You can run the edge detect using different sources of discontinuity besides the "final" (pre-outline) image for a much finer level of control, or you can even author a custom discontinuity source and edge detect it in its own render pass. Also look into flood fill algorithms for insanely fast CHUNKY outlines! I'd also consider looking into the borderlands method of painting outlines directly onto models (make an outline trim sheet for larger objects cos otherwise you'll need a ton of texture resolution to get em crisp) and then just generating an outline round the silhouette to finish the look. Makes the post process much lighter weight and you get a great level of control, although it does mean putting a bit more work into the actual art assets up front. Anyway cool vid, gl with the course and keep it up!

While I appreciate the engine companies efforts to render reality itself on my 4070 with all the temporal artifacts that comes with it. We see reality every day, we get it, now show me what I would see if i was transported to another universe with other laws of physics, render a portal with something else than the smoke particles arround it, magic that is more than just lines with bloom, stuff that we never seen before, you know what i mean? you go to shadertoy and see that the GPU can do so much more, but all the games are just the same unreal 5 renderer with realistic models since we dont have the rendering budget for effects outside of sparks and smoke, its barely at 60 fps right now.

oh hey, that script of the video at 0:37... could you please copypaste it into a .txt file in notepad, then go to subtitles tab on this video in youtube studio, edit subtitles thing (it's a "-" by default), select "Upload a file", "Without timing", and just put that .txt in? after that you should get captions in your video basically for free iirc, those are good to have lol

6:30 feel you man, 2 days left to hand in my bachelor project and I haven't written or recorded anything for it yet

Freaking glad to hear the drive here! Coolest styles I've manages for myself has always been messing with the "correct" math Keep running with this! Just a heads up about bloom, the "common" bloom shader resamples the render to different sized buffers (like 4-6 different resolution render targets) to let the texture blur'ing automatically happen from the resampling to a different resolution. Then just lerp() or add a weighted value of those 4-6 different resolution "bloom"s together in a final post-processing pass.

Bomb Rush Cyber Funk is one of my favorite games and I love the vibrant and colorful cel-shaded graphics. Would rather look at that for hours than flat,gray realism.

Subtitles disabled is wild

whoa the algo blessed u up

I completely agree with the message you are trying to convey. As a graphics developer i always end up fighting in projects to not use the same default realistic look on everything and make it more original.

Nice

the best part of learning about pbr rendering is learning to break it

This is a pretty cool way to tackle those effects. I don't know ANYThing about shaders, so you're ahead of me! lol

OMG THIS IS SO EPIC/LEGENDARY, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

My understanding is that the point of PBR (Physical based rendering) is that because it can achieve ultra realism, you can then tweak parameters and used post processing shaders to get unrealistic or stylized effect. So rather than you "breaking the rules" as you mention at the start of the video, instead you are using PBR as a base which lets you add more effects later on. To be clear, your work is super impressive and the video was great, I just think the framing should be slightly different.
