Inspired by me spending a bit too much in the Blender Market sale. I imagine younger me tearing a coupon out of a magazine and smashing their piggybank to get those sweet, sweet add-ons (in some kind of pre-online 90s world where blender still magically exists).
Background things are from polyhaven - books, game controller, pot plant, and hammer. Everything else is my own work this weekend. I’ve wanted some blender pride pins for a while and I needed things to decorate the shelf with so I used this as an excuse to model and texture a few. The pig is subdivision modelling and vertex painting for the texture. The shelf is procedurally textured and has tiny dust particles scattered on it that are barely visible and probably weren’t worth the effort! lol.

Pure entry. If you’re not familiar with the reference, it’s from the TV show Arrested Development. The owner hid $250,000 in the walls of his Frozen Banana stand shop.
Pure.
Skeleton and fire png were downloaded. Everything else was (painstakingly) modeled over the last few days.
Whose stupid idea was it to model 8 characters in such a short time!? Oh, yeah…
Here’s my mini tutorial with what little I managed to figure out:
“Size” seems to determine at which point the shading kicks in, i.e. how close to the light source the shadow appears. I had mine set to 1, to get as little shadow as possible. (This is for the 7 dwarves’ beards btw).
“Smooth” seems to determine the gradient of the shading. How stepped it is between lit areas and dark areas. So, on my dwarves, you can see I tried to get it as close to a sharp line as possible.
I don’t know much more than that, But here are a few more random bits of knowledge/tips:
Toon BSDF only works in cycles, whilst most other cel shading methods are for Eevee.
You can run textures into the Toon BSDF just as with any other shader node, as well as Bump/Normal information (but takes away from the simple toon style a bit).
You can also switch the Toon BSDF from Diffuse to Glossy, as I did with the puddles in my image.
Hope there’s something useful for you there.
Thank you I didn’t know it was possible to change. But if people are wondering about the late change, I can provide the blend file and my sketch for the idea
