Free NPR for Blender. I am Animator.



When it comes to the stylized art and NPR tool for Blender, the Toonkit for cycles comes at the top. But the problem is it is for Cycles Node System are is paid to use. Not everyone can afford Toonkit. 

To solve this problem the Beer is made. 

What is BEER?

BEER stands for Blender Extended Expressive Renderer which is a free and open-source real-time non-photo real (NPR) rendering engine. The real goal of BEER is about the ability to EXTEND a render engine all the time. The nature of non-photo real (NPR) is one that is never settled. There will always be someone creating something epic that they want to share with everyone. The ability to add that shader and remix it with other NPR features will generate endless styles.

BEER Backend

Unlike in PBR, in NPR there are no rights or wrongs. There are as many NPR techniques and workflows as art styles one can imagine, so our renderer backend must be easy to extend, customize and experiment with.

The goal of this backend is to provide an easy-to-use render library, accessible even for starting programmers, that can be used as a base to implement BEER on top.

How to use it?

You have to download it as a zip file from Github. Scroll down to Assets and select the file according to your operating system as shown in the image below.



Download the zip and also download the Shaders-Examples.zip file 'cause it is most important.

Install it as like other addons in Blender. Enable it and you will see its option in the Render Engines list. Select Malt/Beer and you are good to go. If you don't know how to use it then watch this video:-
