If you mean multiple collections? You just add a join node and add them together. Keep in mind this is a very advanced use of blender’s geometry nodes so if you haven’t used it in the past I recommend watching some videos on how geometry nodes work before attempting this

I have a large update coming in a month and I will make sure to include more documentation and instruction on how to use it!

Hey! Just like with a game engine, it is best to have your models as optimized as possible for this effect to work properly. Any high topology model will bog the system and make blender more prone to crashes. Keep in mind that this filter is made to simplify down details on your mesh, so many times it does not require high poly models to get the same effect. Same goes for low poly though, not enough mesh data can also lead to issues. So finding a balance between the two is the best solution.

Hey, so I removed the detail level over a year ago. Instead now it is controlled by the min and max stroke scale. The same results can be found but with more creative freedom over the end results. Min and max works by thinking of a gradient of the distance that each stroke is from the line art that is generated from your mesh. The strokes that are closest to your line art are your min stroke scale, and the strokes that are furthest from your line art are your maximum stroke scale. This makes it so you can add detail where it is needed near the lines, but make it more abstract in areas that don’t need it. If you just want the same results as before then just keep both min and max at the same value and adjust them together. The density just controls the overall density of the strokes, so also make sure to adjust that depending on your scene

@ perfect Thank you so much, and great works🔥

Hey! Sorry for the late response. That feature was removed because many people were using it thinking that it would work on any image inputted, but the next update will have full cycles support with the new Portal Node! That should be out soon!

Actually now there is, but it will be a bit of a challenge in the geometry nodes tree, this is all going to be automated in my next update but basically you can replace the camera input in the node tree with “active camera node”. That will pull the location of your active camera instead of the selected one!

At the moment the current version works with blender 3.6-4.1. Won’t work before or after, I have a patch coming soon for 4.2

You’re amazing thanks so much!

That’s definitely strange. Are you using the tutorial version one in this video? Or are you using the paid version from my gumroad? Also, check my linktree and join my discord. You can send me the file and I can take a look there!

@@Tradigital paid version and will do

Hey! So eevee next kinda broke the current filter, so for the time being, go ahead and just use 4.1. I have an update coming out that should help, but I’m waiting on a small patch from blender before I release things.

Hey! Even though this is a “Live” effect, it is not realtime. So you won’t ever want to have it enabled when working on your animation. Think of this as an effect that you will enable right before you render out your animation. Posing and animating should all be done before the line art is enabled. I think that answers your question, but if you have more feel free to ask!

Hey! So I had to remove the cycles option for technical reasons with updates, BUT the next update that is coming soon will have full cycles support with the new portal node. I’m just waiting on a patch from blender on the refraction shader to rgb for eevee to release the update

@@Tradigital but cycles can refract normally? would that work first?

@@Ponlets sort of, but cycles does ray traced refraction which is different from screen space refraction. For cycles it requires thousands of transparency passes for it to look decent since there are so many different strokes and overlapping which would cause horrible performance and render times. Portal is much faster and works great! Either way, cycles support is coming next update.

I've read the comments and will be waiting for the update then :) But I was wondering if the cycles render thing will be back or how do i use it in this new version of the addon

And finally, does this works with more complex scenes? I have tried to use the filter in blender 4.1 with scenes with multiple objects at it crashes every time. Is this going to be fixed or did I just wasted my money? The whole reason i bought the addon was so that i could stylize a shortfilm I'm working on.

Hey, so cycles will have full support in the new version when it is released. Still waiting on a couple things but overall cycles is fully supported now. Complexity is all dependent on your system and what it can handle. I will say that the new version does have some improvements to the optimization, but I would need to see more of what you are doing to really help. Send the file to me on my discord and we can see if it is an optimization issue. Follow my linktree to get into the Discord!

@@Tradigital Okay got it, thanks for answering so quickly :)

Sadly no, there is no current way to bake out this method of line art for other applications. This is compatible with blender 4.0+

Could you tell me you’re system specs? The only time I’ve heard of stuff like this happening is on an M-chip MacBook and an Intel GPU. In both cases it’s just a weird compatibility issue between blender and the GPU.

@@Tradigital I've got an Intel i7-1255U CPU, with an Iris XE integrated GPU. The GPU isn't, as far as I'm aware, recognized by Blender. Does this specifically require GPU support to work? My renders have been relatively slow, but the rest of Blender has worked fine for me up until now.

@@MathCat06 it’s not that it needs have a dedicated GPU, but AMD and Nvidia both have far more support than native intel gpu’s. ARC is notorious for stuff like this. That would be my biggest guess. Especially since this seems to be a refraction issue which can be quite heavy on your GPU. I would recommend finding another computer to test this on to see if it shows the same results, that would probably tell you if it is a compatibility issue or a GN issue. I personally have just never had lighting problems like this where the culprit is GN. It is normally GPU related. Also, if you have no already, make sure all your graphics are as up to date as possible.

@@MathCat06 from a quick google search it appears your integrated graphics are currently not fully supported by blender.

@@Tradigital Sounds good. I didn't realize that Eevee was so dependent on GPU, I usually use cycles on the CPU for the little I do. Drivers are up to date, so I guess this is just what comes from using a laptop for this type of thing. It just seems weird to me that everything except the shadows work as intended. I'm still trying to find a workaround for it. Thank you for the help!

I already have an update ready, I am just waiting on a patch from Blender for the Refraction Shader to RGB in 4.2+. EEvEE next kinda broke it…

@@Tradigital very cool!

Hey! That is just a vector math node with the “refract” setting.

@@Tradigital thank you

Hey! Its hard to honestly know what could be happening here. I would suggest joining my discord and sending me some images of your node tree. I may be able to help better there! discord.gg/CXGTMWq7

@@Tradigital Ok will do! Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get the notification.

Hey! At the moment the filter is not compatible with 4.2 due to eevee next. They removed some important features. I have an update ready to release, but I’m waiting on a patch from blender, until then, just continue using blender 4.1. Thank you for the support!

​@Tradigital this is great news. I will be getting the asset once you update it for EEVEE next

@@Tradigital will the update be free for gumroad users?

@@ThatOneUser-0 yes, it will be included when I update.

@@Tradigital thank you a lot for the fast replies, and sorry I got another question, does it just sends an email to the one I bought it with? Thanks again for the amazing nodes

Hey! Sorry for the late reply, didn’t see this one. The filter is current not compatible with 4.2. Eevee next broke a lot of what I had so I’m having to rebuild it from scratch again. I have an update coming soon that will resolve this. Until then, use Blender 4.1

At the moment it is not compatible with 4.2. Blender removed some elements with eevee next and it broke part of the effect. I have an update ready but I’m waiting for a patch from blender.

@@Tradigital Will Live Paint 2 be seperate? I bought the package deal, but I unfortunately wasn't aware that the above was required.

@@oldbonniegamer938 no, it will just be an update to the current tool.

@@Tradigital Okay cool. Can't wait to get the updated version. Keep up the good work.👍

Hey! Every geometry nodes tree has a group input. If you take one of the empty slots and drag it into another node, you will have that input now as a setting under the geometry nodes modifier tab.

But what should I do with geometry in group input where should I put it 3:58 ​@@Tradigital

You don’t need the base geometry. This issues the collection geometry so that you can add your entire scene instead of just a single object to the filter.

So yes! The filter can be used on animated scenes. Scene size is really a matter of your computer system. If it does cause issues, I have found splitting your scene into separate scenes and compositing them together works pretty well!

@@Tradigital Thank you

In this version sadly no. I do have a new version hopefully coming in the near future that will help though!

At the moment it is currently not compatible with 4.2 due to some features that were removed in EEvEE Next. I have an update coming, but I am waiting on a patch from Blender before releasing. For now, just use the filter in 4.1

@@Tradigital will do, thank you!

4.2 is currently not working with eevee next, but blender 4.1 should work fine. What are your system specs? Is it just crashing or do you see any red nodes in the geometry nodes panel?

So I have changed the way you import it, now if you add this file to your asset folder it should show up in your asset browser and just drag and drop it. That should work. Currently appending will also bring in objects, cameras, and scene information which is probably why it is crashing.

Not sure what is happening here, it might be a topology issue with the objects in your scene.

Hey! Yes you can hide unused socket in geometry and shader nodes by pressing ctrl h with the node selected.

@@Tradigital btw, what do "Sample Nearest" and "Sample Index" nodes do at the botom around 6:40? Sample Nearest should have Sample Position set as far as i know, or else it returns 0. Cant be rotation from "Curve to points" be directly fed to "Rotate euler" that goes to "instance on points"?

@@the-guy-beyond-the-socket so in order for the camera plane to pull data from the curves it has to sample the nearest point. Without it, the plane will try and treat it as identical indexes as the line art curves. Since they don’t have identical indexes you have to sample by nearest index. Stuff like this is quite confusing so I’m sorry if I’m not making sense. I would try and search up some videos on sampling in geometry nodes. They will most likely make more sense than I am.

Sadly no, this effect is currently not possible to export since it is primarily in GN. You would have to recreate it in a similar method through unreal’s system.

It’s still in the works. There is one big thing that blender is currently still trying to fix in Blender 4.3 that should help. They basically broke the refraction shader to rgb in eevee next. It no longer works and that was a big part of this tool.

How large is your overall scene? It might be a clipping issue. Not sure though. I might need to see an example of what you mean exactly. Feel free to message me on my discord. The link should be in my linktree above!

Hey! The biggest difference is that this has now been added to the asset manager. If you add this file to your asset management location? It should be an easy drag and drop from your asset browser!

So the version I have on my gumroad has intersecting edges. Just be aware that it is a very heavy effect and will definitely bog your system, so I recommend only enabling it in the final render

@@Tradigital Aw man I can't pay I'm broke thanks for trying though

Currently it does not work, I have an update coming out soon that will support both eevee next and cycles. Sadly blender’s shader to rgb is a bit broken in this version and no longer supports the refractive shader.

@@Tradigital oh, glad 2 hear that. Thank you anyways, the filter is amazing

Sadly, I’m not knowledgeable enough in Unity or Unreal to really know if it is possible. I know some people have done some similar effects, but I haven’t been able to achieve it, especially in real time. Even though this effect is live, there is no way (at least in blender) where it could run in 30 fps.

@@Tradigital Hey there! No worries! We will keep exploring the options and see what we can come up with!:)

I had to remove it due to people misusing it and thinking it would convert photos to paintings. I have full cycles support coming though in a few weeks with a big update!

No, this effect is not something you can bake, but I do have another tool specifically for painting normal maps that will be coming soon! That will be exportable to other softwares.

I’m sure it’s possible in Houdini, no doubt at all!

Hey! Sorry for the late reply. this is a heavy effect, keep in mind that GN doesn’t run off of your GPU, but instead on your CPU. Every frame, this tool needs to recompute your scene, so if you are trying to use it while also viewing animations, I would suggest disabling it till the final render. Settings like the density and padding are what really control the overall performance. I do also have an update coming that will make it easier to split things by layers so that you can render them separately and then combine in post.
