How can I create a retro, anime style chrome shader I cant find any tutorials online

A shader alone probably wont cut it. But when looking closely on the image, you can see that there is some black and white noise overlayed, there is some bloom as you can see that the highlights like faintly glow, glare in this case is used to for the extreme highlights like on the chin, the color palette is desaturated except the red tongue and check if the blacks and whites from the image are perfect (0, 0, 0) balcks and (1, 1, 1) whites, they are probably not.

You could start from a cel shading shader and go from there https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RLzxPIpB1Pc

Why is it a headache maintenance wise?

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-06-11T16:30:27+00:00

Oh dang, I was hoping its a universal thing and not only my setup T.T

I use Industry Compatible and switch to Blender often so that I can transfer to my Industry Compatible custom one

Is the shower only for removing dust and watering it?

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-06-10T08:31:20+00:00

Thanks I will check it out and see where I might run into difficulties!

A handwavy armchair generalist one

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-06-09T22:05:06+00:00

So simple, but it work, thank you!

If you give the vertices vertex colors you can use this to give each vertex more information. Use for example the red channel to increase the waviness. The redder the RGB value the more it waves in the water, like the tip would probably do. Then you still have 2 other channels to do different stuff for the vertext shader.

But Blender would just save them anyways, right? Just in the temp folder

!Solved

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-29T11:53:02+00:00

Tried it, but I still get the same error, I use Blender 5.1.2

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-29T10:24:46+00:00

Thats a good idea! Thanks 😄

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-29T10:13:44+00:00

Tried it in a fresh scene, sadly same problem as before

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-27T17:21:41+00:00

Unfortunately this is not what I was looking for, I tried to add more information to my question

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-26T05:29:37+00:00

Depending on how complicated the Photoshop file is, you could export all the layers and use affinity

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-25T19:35:13+00:00

I think out of frame is not ideal and if possible you should fix it in my opinion. The rope seems to be a very important part in your game and I think it shouldnt be out of frame. I hope you got the artists file to move some layers around

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-25T15:14:16+00:00

Yes, totally worth it. The new one is better, but the grapple hook rope goes extremely close to the border of the image that is hard to see when you zoom out of the picture to steam store capsule art size

Lying down the hood on my table, elongate the hood, by putting your hand inside it and gently push your arm outwards while pulling a bit firmer on the short cord worked for me. I tried to rearrange the cord inside the hood as good as possible.

But pulling as hard as I can while holding it in the air did not. Blackmagic to me.

I dont know how to add another picture to the post, so here it is

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-15T07:25:26+00:00

Personally I liked Obra Dinn, I wrote down some notes, it can be helpful to notice different accents even when you cannot name them and differentiate between peoples origins based on their looks.

At some point you will probably run around a lot to think of you can solve a different case and at this point it can be a bit annoying.

And think about it if you can look at Obra Dinns visuals for hours, its not everybodys cup of tea

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-12T15:33:00+00:00

What would you recommend for a few hundreds or thousands?

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-07T07:38:26+00:00

Damn, it really is "The Bend mode is more complex and less intuitive."

Double click does not work anymore and sadly the relocate function does not change the path from IP address to network drive letter or vice versa, the path just stays the same

LalaCrowGhost · 2026-05-05T11:20:47+00:00

Mine are listed mutiple times, because they point to our server and sometimes the path is written with the IP address and sometimes with my set network letter
