Stylized Asset Suite for Blender

Welcome to the Ultimate Addon for making Stylized Art all in Blender 3D, In Both Painterly & Anime Styles.

If you experience lag when first adding effects -- Don't worry, it's totally normal! That's just blender setting up the nodes, and as you use the addon more that lag will reduce.

Works with the latest version of Blender (4.3) and anything above 4.0

PSA: Currently the duplicate button on effects is a bit broken, I'll be working on a fix for it.

to INSTALL, simply go to edit-->preferences-->addons-->top right-->install from disk--> and select the stylizedassetsuite zip file

I recommend reading the text at the bottom of the page, it talks about some important things to know before using!

You can also get this addon on https://ukiyogirls.io/ or patreon shop

I'm working on a written documentation, but for now you can check the video right below this for specific effects (though, it's a bit old so the UI is a bit different.)

Works best in eevee but generally works in cycles as well

if you work in cycles though, make sure that if you're using the stylized 3d lighting main (eevee) effect or the specular reflection (eevee) effect, you bake the lighting/speculars before switching to cycles

Some other important notes, Please read if you're using!!:

- For those of you who are new, hold shift while you use sliders to slide slowly.

- You can't have the cross hatch light effect and the stylized light dynamic effect at the same time (this wouldn't be very useful. If you want it, however, you can bake and apply the stylized light dynamic and then add it)

- This goes without saying for most people, but for those of you who are new to Blender, you have to UV Unwrap your models in order to texture paint on them.

- If you are going to use the brushes in the brush pack, pen pressure is important for a lot of the brushes (i.e. you should have some sort of pen tablet). not all of them require pen pressure however, for example the Pastel Brush and Painterly Smudge

- when you add an effect that adds an empty, it'll be immediately selected when you add that effect. sometimes you'll have to scale it up a bit.

- if you're baking an animation for exporting, make sure you save your blend file first before hitting the save & export frames button

- if you're animating I recommend watching the how to animate part of the video tutorial/documentation as well

- For Blender 4.2+, the Alpha Blend / Alpha Hashed Features are now called Blended / Dithered

- make sure you're in object mode when adding effects

- when you bake diffuse lighting, once in a while you may notice a very slight change in values of the lighting -- to fix this, just adjust the settings to however you like in the stylized 3d lighting main before doing your final bake!

- If you add a stylized 3d lighting main effect and dont see any changes or its all black, you have to play around with the light range / steps sliders in the menu and then you'll start to see it. if you want simple toon shading i recommend settings steps to 1.

- remember that if you bake for exporting, it's a good idea to turn off bloom so that you can see in your viewport what the texture looks like without bloom (bloom is an effect and not something that is baked, you can add it back in whatever other software you export to).

- after baking, if you have an outline effect on your model you can re enable it in the modifiers tab

- If you want to speed up shader compilation times in blender 4.2+, you can go to edit--->preferences-->system and increase "Max Shader Compilation Subprocesses"

- in the video I said you can't use the object outline with the watercolor/charcoal effect but you actually can! all you have to do is play around with the settings in the object outline texturing section, maybe give it a texture, adjust the transparency, etc.

have fun!
