my attempt here

you probably don't need an HDRI to do this, you could just change the colour of the world. If it's an indoor scene an HDRI isn't going to do anything because when it comes in through a window, the shape of a window is going to influence the light and cause harsher shadows.
make your lights bigger, bigger lights are more diffuse, smaller lights are sharper, think about a laser versus a lightbulb. The lightbulb might be brighter but you can look directly at it.

A trick you could try is using emission instead of colour in your textures, but eevee can't do that.

It’s called toon shaders and you can’t do it in blender.

Just make a new shader

Looks to me that there's no shadows. Must be just the diffuse texture

It's just a flat ambient light. Everything is achieved by textures. It's crazy that 3d is so advanced now retards think everything is done with raytracing, HDRIs and other autistic realism shit.

Ok you got me, that's achieved with some cheesy shader that is pretty much emulating the inverted normal polygon shell games like Jet Set Radio had.

you can absolutely achieve variable width outlines with a texture mask

Try the dgVoodoo option in the new win10fix settings.
Alternative: Update your AAU and see if it happens again. If so, disable win10fix, enable wined3d and software vertex processing.
>HELP! Required Windows 11 update broke things!

I don't know what's with all the questions in this thread. The creator of the character rigs literally gives a download link so you can figure everything out yourself.

if any of you are curious it appears that you just use these shaders to get that look, at least that's what the creator said.

Do it JGR old school. Duplicate your mesh, inflate it slightly, paint it black and reverse your normals

Anonymous at Thu, 14 Sep 2023 00:29:12 UTC No. 958059

>>957505
Flat lighting, make a toon shader and edit normals so the shading looks in the style. There is a shader in artstation for blender called genshin impact shader, you can start from there if you don't know how to do it yourself

But anon, that would never work here because in the op pic the outlines are variable width

>>957505
It's definitely achievable. One thing that could help is to turn the color settings to raw. That way the color the shader outputs is the color that appears on the screen.
Then you should be able to do all kinds of ambient light trickery based on normals/materials etc. and get pretty nice results

fuck so I applied this >>958045 to all of my objects and now I realized nothing has enough saturation. It looks like the shadows and shadow faces are actually fake and painted on in the artists' work (that I'm trying to copy) on the right, if all the textures are actually just transparent.

I guess I'm going to try out >>958053, >>958088, and >>958059, if I can figure out toon shading.

Maybe you should do what I say and stop using blender. It will never create that look, it’s not Maya toons style and blender doesn’t support outlines.

You now you can literally just up the saturation of your entire scene right? Like in blender itself

Try setting your texture color space back to SRGB and then change the view transform from Filmic to Standard if you haven't already. See here:
