Ghibli Stylized Grass Tutorial (Overview & Step-by-step)

This shader was inspired by two tutorials on grass shaders for a 3D Ghibli art style. I feel I've made enough changes to warrant my own tutorial, and I hope the combination of an overview and step-by-step walkthrough helped explain the process. If you have improvements or questions, please comment below and I'll try to reply The Tutorials I learned from: [Kristof Dedene] Grass Shader without shading : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hyztL8btlY [LanceBeryl․Dev] Grass Shader with shading : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjKKZL03HNs ---- This shader was made using Blender 2.9 with Eevee. I have yet to find a way to make it work in Cycles.
