#blender shaders

How did you get the transparency to work on your fish ?? please

The transparency with the toon shader was by far the hardest part but here's what I managed in the end with shaders (this is in Blender 4.3.2)

I also used a normal map for the details on the plastic by making taking the model and subdividing it to make a high poly version and then painting the normal map onto that version, then baking it to the lower poly mesh. Here's the mesh painted with the normal map. I also ran into an issue with baking the map around the fins so after an hour of struggling with it I literally took the png into photoshop and painted out the offending normals (hey it worked).

Thanks for asking! I hope this helped!

Trying more 2D shaders on different 3D models that I have stored away and experimenting with the Freestyle option in Blender to go with it for outlines, and I honestly just want everyone to know about these awesome shaders. This one is by Kristof Dedene, if you’re interested in making your 3D models have like a manga type style to it, it’s the perfect shader to use.

Experimented with some shaders in Blender and accidentally made something kinda cool??
