i find its also a bit easier to use the flat shading to do controlled tricks, like the shadowing on the boot
you might think i've shaded the ridge here, but when i turn off shading (or use smooth shading) entirely, you'll see i didn't actually shade anything
October 17, 2025 at 3:53 AM
example of using both to your advantage
the metal part of the boot is given the flat shader to really make the geometry of the boot shine, and to give a more rigid look
but i use smooth shading on the leather part on the foot to make it appear softer, and because the geometry isn't as important
October 17, 2025 at 3:53 AM
but for certain cases where you want to make the geometry look smoother than it actually is, the smooth shader is totally great, especially paired with good texture work
October 17, 2025 at 3:53 AM
i still think the flat shading looks neato for more blocky things like yuri's hand here
the smooth shading looks a little weird for my taste when it comes to that

some thoughts on blockbench's new shader

first of all, incredibly based for allowing you to choose between the shaders *per element*

some other banners i considered
maaaybe i'll use them B)

also a60000 and 0000a6 are my favourite shades of blue and red :]
