Rendering anime in Blender: a quick guide to the PBR + NPR approach

Описание: This video focuses on what you can do to create better harmony between PBR and NPR elements with the PBR/NPR mix style, like some of the new-gen gacha games.
I suggest learning the basics of Blender and having some understanding about toon shading/NPR before watching this guide.
Have fun!
