Ensō 1.1 Beta is coming. And it changes how you light anime in Blender. Ensō Engine is our build of Blender made for anime and NPR. Not an add-on. The tools are inside the engine. FREE FOR EVERYONE ▸ LIGHT SELECT. Choose exactly which light shades which material. One light for the face, another for the hair, another for the background. Rotate it and the shading follows. ▸ NEW CEL SHADING NODES. Cel Bands with pixel-smooth edges, Shade Info, shaped highlights, light-side rim. ▸ NEW NORMAL EDITING NODES. Smooth Normals fixes ugly shadows on any mesh, from a character to a whole building, without touching the model. ▸ ENVIRONMENT NODES. Mask selects by height, slope and facing: snow on rooftops, moss on the shaded side, cliffs with their own colour, no texture painting. Screen Curvature finds every edge and crease for a hand-painted background look. ▸ ANIME RENDER PASSES. Shade, shadows, highlights, lines and masks, straight to the compositor. The engine is free and open source, and it stays that way. IN THE ENSŌ NPR PACK This is where it gets fast. The pack turns those nodes into finished looks: ▸ One-node lighting presets: Clean Cel, Anime Face, Anime Hair. Plug in a colour, done. ▸ NPR light settings: Flat Fill, Shadow Colour, Edge Softness, Band Shift on every light. ▸ 21 one-click Scene Effects: Anime Glow, Halation, Para Gradient, Impact Frame and more. ▸ Quick Rig with 16 ready animations, and On Twos hand-drawn timing. ▸ Plus everything already in the pack: Anime Sky, Water VFX, Kiseki trails, Smear, Rain and more. The pack starts at $10 on Patreon. That is the whole business model: the engine is free, and the pack is what pays for it. WHY THIS MATTERS An engine like this takes months of full-time work, and we are still looking for the funding to keep it alive. Without your support, we cannot keep going. With it, the NPR community gets its own engine, updated all the time, shaped by what you ask for. Get the pack, support the project, and help us build it: patreon.com/Mix3dDesign Can't support right now? Repost this. It really helps. And tell us below: what is the ONE thing you want Ensō to do next? #b3d #Blender3D #NPR #CelShading #Anime #Shaders #3DCG #AnimeArt #アニメ #セルルック #动漫渲染

Anime face shading in Blender is about to get SO MUCH BETTER! 👀 You know how difficult it can be to get beautiful anime shadows on a character's face? Especially around the nose, cheeks, and eyes? Well, I've been working on something REALLY cool for ENSŌ Engine! Introducing my new ENSŌ Shade Info Node! It gives you much better control over facial cel shading, light direction, cast shadows, and custom masks. And the crazy part? You can get beautiful results even when your character doesn't have perfectly edited normals! No more spending hours fighting your character's face shading just to get that 2D anime look. This is coming in the next ENSŌ update! Paid Patreon members will get EARLY ACCESS to these new custom nodes before the public release. Yes, I plan to make somme of them free for everyone later, but my supporters get to experiment with them first! Want to be among the first to try them and support ENSŌ's development?
