Porco Rosso

Inspired by the 1992 Hayao Miyazaki film from Studio Ghibli: “Porco Rosso”.

Porco Rosso’s seaplane, also known as “Savoia S.21”

Made for Nodevember day 11-16: red, green and blue

The entire scene was made in geometry nodes using Suzanne as a base mesh and shaded with one material. A lot of smaller details are also added by hand (i.e. uneven lines, highlights, additional shadows) in order to achieve the hand-drawn look. Outlines are done in the compositor with custom render passes that’s also generated(i.e. captured attributes) in geometry nodes, passed through the material to be used in the compositor.

I used the following as a guide(original link) for most of the modeling, though some parts that are invisible in the scene are not modeled to save time:

For shading I used the following still as a reference:

I can’t seem to edit the post anymore, but I have stitched together higher resolution screenshots for the nodes(you should be able to see all the individual values on them) and uploaded to imgur:
