About This Course

This is a tutorial for my painting process for Fern (Frieren). These were my decisions and the logic needed to translate a 2D manga style into a 3D character. Includes Substance Painter File.
What’s inside:
  • Intro & Workflow Logic: I start by explaining my full workflow and the logic behind NPR painting. You'll understand how I read the character's style before touching a single brush in a 2-hour + video.
  • Full Character: A complete breakdown of the painting process for the entire character, where you can see all the decisions in action.
  • Hair Deep Dive: A dedicated section focusing on the hair, showing how to achieve that specific watercolor look.
  • Project File (.spp): You get my actual Substance Painter file. Open it to check my layers, masks, and see exactly how I organized the project to achieve the final result
  • Language: The video is narrated in English and includes subtitles in both English and Spanish.
Important:
  • Compatibility: Substance 3D Painter v11.0.0 or newer is required to open the project file.
  • Note: This tutorial is focused on texturing. The NPR Shader for Maya/Arnold is a separate product and is not included here.
  • This is not a tutorial from 0 to substance painter, I recommend you to watch some videos of how it works if you don't have any idea about it, after that the tools that we use are super easy to understand.
