Great Lover

You can find the photoshop swatch here! It’s free for everyone. ^-^

aaand the HI-RES file is available to my $10 supporters.

Here’s my notes on how to get the looks for Addie. 

1. The basic concept is to make a material for each mesh that has hard shadows and for the light and shadows make two separate UVs that combines into the one final material. 

2.You first make a UV texture for the mesh youre texturing. For Blender I use smart UV project because Im lazy and I hate UV mapping by hand. I also use texture painting for a lot of the painting and details There are resources on how to do this for Maya and Blender. Look them up. 

4. Make two materials. In Maya this is a matter of making one material and for the black and white replacing them with a UV map and an identical UV map that is darker that you color edited in Photoshop. 

For Blender you make two materials like this…

MESH_material is the one you adjust to make hard shadows while for MESH_color you adjust to take on the UV texture and shadeless texture. 

For MESH_material this is how you set it up to get that toon shading. 

For MESH_color this is how you set it up. It can be any color since the Shadeless option is the only important thing. And for MESH_color you go in the TEXTURES property and attach the UV texture to it. 

5. Finally you activate nodes for MESH_material and you set it up as so. MESH_material connects to Fac, and MESH_color connects to Color 1 and 2. The upside to using a duplicate of MESH_color for Color 2 is that if you attach a hue/saturation node to it you can adjust the color for it on the spot without messing with the UV texture! The outlines were made in Blender with Freestyle line sets. There are resources for these too.

We all know the meme

Well, I went digging further and found the backstory.

–

It all starts in highschool (or early college)

(for time sake we’ll call blue shirt, girl 1 and the other girl, girl 2.)

Girl one begins to grow feelings for girl two.

She get jealous of the man and decides to become best friends with girl 2

soon girl two grows feeling for girl one

Soon, the time of the meme takes place

She finds out that he cheated on her by finding messages on his phone

She divorces him after that fight

Back to girl one, She find out and comferts her

They decide to hook up and the relationship goes great

The guy finds a boyfriend

and they all work everything out!
