You know that site that you can upload the image and move the lights around and they turn your art into N/F/T??? So I made a little version for free on blender that you can make youself!!!
Tutorial ahead! +
#Vtuber #Illustrator #lightning

You gonna need 3 things: import your image as a plane to Blender, Create a normal map or your image (you can use any app that has it, I used photoshop) and a light source!
Combine your normal map into the shadder in Blender and it's done!!! +

It's not perfect, but it's better than having your amazing drawing turning into N/F/T!
Hope it was useful!!

Gonna make a little video explaining it too ^^

Little tutorial in video for better understanding!
You can create a blender file to use with multiple images.
Keep in mind that it works best with high contrast images, so what you can do before aplying the normal filter is bumb up the contrast of the illustration first 💜

It's quick to fit on Twitter, but you can pause or make it go slower if needed ✨

I just notice now that autocorrect placed Bumb instead of Pump 🫠

Quick add to this:
I know that they said that the AI DON’T TURN THE IMAGE INTO NFT on their TOS, BUUUT i still think it’s sketchy because they could use stock photos+the head developer os an IT guy that makes N/F/T so for me this is to close for comfort (+)

And i know that’s a lot of people that don’t like this AI art stuff so this is very useful for them and the paranoids like myself.
And also a nice Blender trick to learn and improve your art skills!!

Yes, they are not making n/f/t with your art, but they are using to train an AI to create art to sell as n/f/t, so you should stop using the app either way and not support the cr**to bros

This is a before and after of a 2d render I made of my character on the left, transparent png with minimal shadding.
The one on the right it the edit I made on Blender, creating a plane with the image as texture, the normal map and light sorces with a little bit of bloom effect,
