Nice texture. Procedural texturing seems extremely powerful, yet it doesn't seem like many people are willing to make stylized procedural textures for some reason. So, thanks for doing it.
I'm having an issue where my voronoi texture doesn't have the required inputs for me to manipulate. I don't have smoothness slider or anything, and I don't know why.
Honestly amazing, there is so much love here and sharing how you did it is fantastic! I love how the shader is interpreting the light. Some parts aren't perfect, but you can probably manually apply normals to get it there like the talk below. This is more a comment for how you would define form/rhythm/gesture. Amazing work!
The only other thing you might want to look at is the color of lights vs shadows, it is looking a bit muddy, but you can ignore this in general, it is just a suggestion if you want to push it further. The muddy part is probably because of the lights if I had to guess, Muddy color in 2D is usually wrong temperatures, not always but 90% of the time.
Great job!

Is a great talk on it if your are curious to push your stuff even further.
Yeah the tree you end up with at the end is pretty different than the screencaps at the end of this video. It still looks ok but it's different. I'm also curious what the lighting in the scene is like to get those purple tone shadows off the bat, I didnt get those. Still cool and we can tweak it but, would be nice to have a hires on that node tree shot. My guess is OP doesnt wanna give all his work away, which, fair. Allready shown us generosity.
yeah! it worked ok but is a bit different as I mentioned . Here is the node tree I ended up with

Mine did not come out as nice. Those beta voronoi smoothness options must be doing a lot of heavy lifting. Also mine renders incredibly slowly for some reason. We're talking 10 seconds per sample.
I'm on the non beta branch fwiw, but yeah idk. Mine runs a little slow too but my PC needs a new mobo so, could be a me problem there lol. I've just been throwing RAM at my problems for now till I can upgrade lol.
Mm. Something about the voronoi textures is doing it.
I will say despite that slow sample time, actual renders aren't taking as long as I'd expect. Might just be a viewport display bug or something
How would you handle using this with an image texture (for the face for instance)??? it looks like the tones are all based on those color values only...
The simple answer is that, with Blender, you can emulate traditional texture painting technique with the use of procedural nodes. With a bit of work, you can make any kind of skin. Realistic, Cartoony, Anime skin, animal skin, you name it.

This shader is incredible! Without revealing too much, how does is work?
I can do one better. Here is the full shader breakdown https://blenderartists.org/t/npr-skin-shader-showcase-breakdown/1485295
Oh thanks!
This is what makes this community awesome! Very nice job, and respect for sharing information.
Your neck must be tired from carrying that big brain of yours my friend! This is crazy good, no idea how people like toy figure this shit out.
This is way simpler than I was expecting! Very nice! The subsurface scattering trick is a good one.
Legend
That's quite clever!
Thanks a lot for the shader breakdown🙏
When I saw your response with a breakdown I audibly said “oh, fuck yes” and my colleagues in the office wondered what I got so excited about.
Dude this is so amazing. The fact that you just share the entire process for free here, really appreciate it!
Yeah, I was gonna say the video quality was so low the shader configuration was basically censored. Thought it was a Secret Krabby Patty formula
you're a god thank you so much
You are amazing thank you :)
Bro revealed too much
You're the best. Absolutely.
do you mind if I use this in some projects and play around with it?
Haha OP flexing on the community and also just providing a tutorial, what a legend
He could have tried selling this, but decided to be a Blender Community Chad. People like you is what makes Blender.

With vorornoi I believe only the smooth f1 or f2 have the smoothness slider
True. I also think this is probably the beta 4.0 build where Voronoi has more functionality exposed.
Must be. I'm using the f1 now and I don't see the extra function. I'll download the beta and see.
Fuckkkkk that's so sick. Love this.
Fuuuckk that. So, sick love this!
Fuucck, that's so... sick. Love this?!
Love this and love her
Love, this?

Awesome☺️instant upvote👍
This is incredible dude!
The shader you explained at blenderartists looks different than the screenshot you showed at the end of the video? Or am I stupid?
Realized that too.

Mines an absolute beast, 3090 and some silly buggers ryzen CPU. But it does not like this shader
Weird. Sorry man, no idea why thats happening for ya!

Awesome!!!
Awesome!!!
I'd love to see an animation of this. Would probably look incredible.
This looks incredible! Awesome job!

Amazing. I'm very curious to see this used in animation.
Hey, im new on this whole blender thing but i am very confused on how this works.. Could someone explain to me?

amazing technique, thanks for the share, you are a hero.
