I've been able to make shadows snappy by using "mark sharp" function on edges first and then editing normals. See result on a gif! #anime #3danime #3d #blender #b3d #normals #vertexnormals #toon #art #techart

Custom vertex normals with blender. Not too clean, but I got npr shadows to work. I used "Abnormal" plugin for blender to do it. Keep it mind you need specific topology for shading to work properly. #anime #3danime #3d #blender #b3d #normals #vertexnormals #toon #art #techart
