In this blender anime tutorial, we will review the custom Blender build by DillonGoo Studios, Goo Engine. It is a variant of the EEVEE Engine that allows for greater control of the lighting and shading elements to achieve the cel-shaded look often found and associated with anime. This will allow us to make anime in Blender 3D.

Cel-shading is a style of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make 3D computer graphics appear flat by using less shading color instead of a shade gradient or tints and shades. Cel-shading is popular in video games and animations, particularly in anime, to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon. It is characterized by distinct, hard edges and a limited color palette, which creates a stylized, two-dimensional look despite the underlying 3D models. Overall, it helps bridge the gap between hand-drawn animation and 3D graphics, preserving the artistic feel of anime while taking advantage of the efficiencies and capabilities of modern animation technology.
