It's a nice kind of realistic-ish toonshaded style you've got going there. Choose whichever thread you want to explain it in, but do go over the process of making this stuff.

JCombe, no worries ;) I merged the threads for ya :)

In that last pic I think one could argue that her hands looks kinda thin.
..could be the shading :shrug:

But I really like your style looks like a great mix between

[jcombe]

thanks your right, everything is not really finish
it's just a planar uv
but i was very impatient to have some critiques

[kreno]

Very very nice man.... More renders possibly? hehe :beer:

other tests

[Fetus23]

These are wonderful! I love that style.
Is this from an animation?

fetus

[pabbloz]

awesome girl/s !!! tell us more about them/her!

[tobalno3]

looks good ...if it's from an animation piece (which it looks as if it is) then im sure we'd all love to see a link to it.

also...what renderer are you using for this??

[ToddD]

Great work, love the style! Uh, can I have her phone number?!? Seriously, tight professional work, Impressive! And I thought I was going to see a render of a sandwich!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[rollmops]

Wonderfull indeed. Even if some proportions a unreal, it realy help giving expression, and life. Model and shading are great! But most of all; congratulation for their attitudes!:applause:
Is this based on a story-board?
Also waiting for more reactions!!:thumbsup:

[alphatron]

Unbelievably excellent! This is some really great art direction and toon shading technology.

What program are you using to model and how are you doing the toon effect?

Will this be a short? Any wireframes or other shots?

I'm intrigued!

[RobinOberg]

i like blt4 most, im a sucker for nice focus techniques

what is blt anyway?

[bike]

:love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

very nice.

[dmonk]

In the bathroom pic it would be cool if only the charcters were toon rendered. same with the car. But great work can't wait to see more.

btw: what is this for?

[Facial Deluxe]

Realy Awesome !
What software did you use ?

[eric P]

waow,it reminds me "manara".....really impressive,....wich soft?

[Roman]

nice style! (luvin'it)

Just wondering wich cellshader you use. With transperency and all that, very nice quality of shading.

Also really like the way you managed to make it look like drawn characters (stylized and clean), opposite to just using a cellshader.

[Charlee]

Just Great!!!!!!! I really dig that style!

[Sleepyoreo]

may god bless you...


my dude
what did u use for that (pardon i didnt read anything i was simply stareing at the pictures...)


mooo.......

is that an "ANIMO" made ?




kicking ass around the place!!!

whooochaaah ! very nice style, here we can see a nice 3D alternative, well done :applause:

[nebcat]

Dude, great work. I like the image of the two women in the washroom. It's awesome to see two friends practicing CPR.

[jcombe]

i use max with cartoon reyes for the lines
which have very good and quick organique lines
the shader is simply done with light at maximum contrast
but i will improve evrything, it's just test

i'm finishing a 3 minutes test animation/pilot in 1 month

thanks

[yowchuan]

Gosh...those are very stunning images! Excellent! Do you have any wireframe version to show how detail the actual model is to get such fantastic toon result?

Very nice work!

:beer:

[Sleepyoreo]

wireframe wireframe wireframe

show us some wireframe :bounce:

[Marc Andreoli]

F-A-B-U-L-E-U-X !
Great idea about using light at max contrast, I was trying to do something with cel shading myself, but now I know that I should just use the cel shading outlines and play around with standard materials...thanks so much.

Have you tried any other cel shading plug-ins ? I tried Illustrate!, but the line quality was nowhere near as good as yours. But, then, I have not really worked out the best settings.

keep it up, what a source of inspiration ! Do you have a website ?

p.s: j'espere pouvoir commander un poster/tshirt/bd bientot :thumbsup:

Excellent stuff indeed..I love the way the characters don't really betray their 3d origins.. at least in the stills.........is this going to be available anywhere??? :) :beer:

Someone said "I love it how they don't betray their 3D Origens."

I spent a few minutes trying to figure out if these were hand drawn...

Bloody amazing.

tremendous.

if there can be greater art than the satisfying tittilation which results from the accurate-- nay-- soul wrenchingly TRUE -- portrayal of two young and playful females makin' out, i don't wanna know about it.

[Bupa]

It's in the style ( more or less ) like in the comicbook (bande dessiné ) Jérom.K.Jérom Blocks ( don't know if this guy is also named in French like this, in Dutch it is ). Dont know if memebers outside France, Belgium and Holland know this comicbook.
I love this comicbook. So ... I love this images a lot.
Some "in depth" would be nice.:thumbsup:

[baby]

..all those people comparing to Manara...just one word !!!


PERVERTS !!!!!!!!!!





;)))



Great stuff anyway...really love the one with the two blured girls in the restroom !!!!! :applause:

[hypercube]

Awesome. Love the lines, incredible. ToonReyes really does it that well with no tweaking? Nice work with the shading, and great posing and models/expressions as well, that's what really makes it. Definitely makes me think of manara, or the cover art for the 'naked music' CD collections.

Only crit I'd find at the moment is in the second 'making out' image, it seems too much like the nude girl is in the same pose from the first image, and she's staring off into space..it makes her look a bit odd/dead. Maybe close the eyes or shift the arms/hands some? Hard to say.

Anyway, great stuff. Look forward to the finished animation. :thumbsup:

[Ed Lee]

These images are unique in that you have captured a Euro style with Anime feel, especially the filmic quality of adult anime. Peeps mention Manara but I don't really see Manara. Anyway, your images are striking, and hope you push the envelope.

BTW, what are you doing here Jin? :p

it's the skinny girls with expressive faces... that's why it made me think of manara. and baby, if you know manara, then you're a perv too! hehehehe... :p :p :p

[LucentDreams]

Looking at the car picture I totally agree with the manara similarities myself.

As for NPR, Love it huge supporter of it, just disappointed everything is goin the root of Humans and animae style renderings and not toon or disneyesque. This might be because even Disney Dreamworks (though they are getting close with Spirit) and Nickleodeon can't seem to do it right, onlye ones who have achieved success in this area is the Turner/WB guys who did Cat's don't Dance and Iron Giant.

Anyways love th images (for more reasons than one) and as to your NPR, two comments, you need to et the lines onto the reflections too. Don't know how to do this with your plugin, as it appears to do it in a post effect rather than actually in the rendering, but try to figure that out, and then get some roughness to the lines, the only roughness I see is from Jpeg compression and lower resolution jaggies. Even the Dreamworks guys can't do clean up that good.

[ZodiaK]

i'm just handing out some stars...not in the mood for complaining about anything. f'n awesome work.

[icky]

Hey,

Awesome work! You've got some great shapes going on there and your colours, compostition and photograghy is all really good too!


:thumbsup:

[urgaffel]

Very nice style. I'd love to see an animation. SInce you are using Cartoon Reyes, I asume you are using 3dsmax?

Only crit would be that the second kissing scene, where they are in focus, the arms of the blackhaired (naked) girl seems awfully stiff. Other than that, nothing special. I love the last pic, with the transparent clothes... Kick ass!

[artifish]

great work! i love them girls :)
reminds ma alot of the some of the cover artworks of the dance / house / chillout compilations of the Flute Worl label of Zomba Records (type "flute worl" in amazons search engine for some nice images of skinny girls)


don't know the illustrators name, though - but anyway, having them animated is much better :)

[d_hansbury]

The only reason I ask is because I see too many people taking credit for throwing some pre-made poser model up on the screen and everyone tells them how great it looks. If these were all modeled by you then you rock, if they're poser...what's the point?

Not being rude, just curious.

[Neil]

Dishing out compliments is always nice, but i believe he asked for critiques.
I think i read one: saying that the hands looked thin.

I like it a lot too, but i will go as far as to actually critique it.

-I think the lips could use color. Even if she's not wearing lipstick, there still needs to be a difference (it might just be my monitor settings, but if it's there, it's too subtle)

[kiko]

excellent stuff!
that lower lip is Milos alright!

kiko

[blankslatejoe]

most impressive....

[rooc]

cool, really. concept, style! You the genius!

[micahhenrie]

Beautiful imagery. The rendering style is a refreshing departure. The female model looks a lot like DAZ's victoria, am I mistaken?:)

[Echo 0515]

great!!!!!great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like these!!:applause: :applause:

Great work, I'm a big fan of the "2D look". :buttrock:

Just curious, what software did you use to create these images? :lightbulb

impressive...most impressive.

I know these can't be poser, have you ever seen a poser model look so expressive? The face anyways.

Keep up the good work and don't forget to tell us when the animation test is done.

[LucentDreams]

Derby, I don't use maya so I can't really say, but I don know maya is fully capable of this technique:

http://forum.bhodinut.com/viewtopic.php?t=292
all movies are down now. I will see about trying to get them up again but don't count on it. THis techniques qas done in XL 6.3 +, but I know it can be done in max out of the box as wel, andXSI can do it out of the box too. I have been trying to develop a good universal system for decent toon shading. Right now I am looking into marker style renderings, colour pencil, and more line controls for hatching and out lines. There is alwasy the good ol light rig too. that can be done in any app:

Noxy

Well, he said he did it in Max, and Poser plugs into max and he even uses the name 'vic 1' and 'vic 2' next to some of the images which are both DAZ product names. I am just curious is all. And I realy do think you can get this expression and more out of victoria--she has almost 200 facial morphs (she does not come with poser). http://store.daz3d.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ZP1&Product_Code=ps_pe020&Category_Code=ps_Victoria

[animalunae]

Derby, I don't use maya so I can't really say, but I don know maya is fully capable of this technique



If Maya is not capable of a technique it won't be available in many programs, let alone 3D Max, I have over 3 years exp in both and a highend program such as Maya is capable of doing much more, in fact it is simply a normaldirection issue and very easy implemented, if you do not know the capabilities of Maya, I should advise you to try it out and I don't believe many would disagree with this. I do believe you can not really say, but thanks for the competition, I shall accept.

[animalunae]

Here's a quick test I did just now, to show you how easy it actually is.

[LucentDreams]

Ahh thats where you are wrong these use far more than just a fresnel normal detection. These use colour falloff (i assume maya has this too) LEVR mixing (I hope it has this but even max doesn't but there are some decent workarounds.)

As for getting to know maya, yes being a highend program it is capable of manythings other apps can't do, and at the same time being an app, there are always things every app can do and things that each app can that others can't. Trust you me, there are things that max can do that maya can't without plugs, there are things LW can that maya can't without plugs, and things XL can do without plugs. I am not about to get into a debate, but this was my suggestion to you asking about doing cel shading.

[zette16]

Could you go into a bit more detail about how it actually works.....

I.E. Which shader you are using, which utilities create certain effects...

Perhaps a link to known tutorials. Im looking for customization.

Im a control freak.

zette16

[LucentDreams]

nice test, but can you make the line eperated in reas, can tyou do a dotted line, can you have the thickness of the line repond to the light direction, everyone nknows the fresnel efect, the preset package I was showing was capable of all of this, as well as control ing individual polies colours and lines, various hatching and spot colour techniques (not shown, its in the new package) light responsive and light non responsive shading.

[animalunae]

I'm not getting into a meaningless debate about capabilities but I wanted to say that Maya isn't about plugs, it's about the program, if you connect nodes in certain ways you can easily achieve anything you want, because of that lowend programs will never be equal to highend. I have noticed the strenght of Max, but it is NOTHING compared to Maya

[animalunae]

This will be my last input into the conversation, I cannot debate with anyone who has no idea of the program, here's the reply to zette, just a condition, which will add a certain position in the colour ramp to a place on the geometry base on the lightsource, you can do this using the normaldirection node, which will allow you to make surfaces with different shaders on each side etc...

Sorry for the bad image

Ya, I've to agree with you after using Maya for few months. Having used Max for several years now I can't see myself going back. Max was all about plug-ins and there are many, but you had to pay for all that, which is alot of money especially diz dayz.

Maya also has an open architecture for our programmers to write and develope.

I don't want to sound like I bagging on Max, it's just that Maya offers hella more and it's what we prefer to use now.

Thank you, I must agree, on the thread, I must say that these renders are really nice, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them, so please do not keep us waiting too long

[blankslatejoe]

hahahahahahahahahaha...

[lude]

I like it, I have only touched cartoonreyes a bit but I had problems with it always drawing the wireframe. What kind of settings did you have? For some crit i think the hair looks a bit like a wig on some of the pictures, most on the one with the car. Try to get some references on that kind of hairstyle, you have to think of it growing in different directions on different part of the head. But really beautiful style and modeling posing... ´great!

lude

[lude]

Here is thoose lines I was talking about. I am doing gameresolution models around 3000 polys, maybe thats why I have problems? The model is just a test to see how to cartoonrenderer with lowres stuf... so dont judge me to hard on this model.

look like poser???
try to do a render with poser or other commercial mesh, you will see

[animalunae]

perfect, show us more renders

[LucentDreams]

wow very nice, the only issue I have with this one,is the line on the pcket, not that is wrong or anything just thinking if I was animating or cleaing this I would' only have a line for the pocket if something was coming out of it like a rolled newspaper, a bottle, or a hand.

[Marc Andreoli]

I love those hands !
Can you give us some info (pluuuuuuueeeeeeeeeze:rolleyes: ) on the light setup you are using ? How do you avoid really dark areas, do you use ambient light ? Or do you place a parallel light aligned with the camera ?

thanks,
-marc

[yair]

about this way of rendering, i had a project which had to be 6 min of animation in 2month, no time to render!!!
the illusrate way it is much less render intensive, from 10 min per frame to 40 sec (depending mostly on number of line intersections)
and as far as lighting there are usualy not many lights in a scene, am i wrong jcombe?
i know illusrate recommends only one light in scene, whats the setup up in cartoonrays?

[dtek8]

jcombe - truly inspirational work, love the, graceful but funky style of your characters,

Cant wait to see more!

:)

[blankslatejoe]

you know what... it really reminds me art nouveu. it took me a couple of days to realize it, but with the trimness and graphic nature of the renders. It also, moreso even, reminds me of the golden age illustrator Coles Phillips.
(see images below)

[blankslatejoe]

[blankslatejoe]

last one, these are pretty small, so i dont feel bad posting them all. circa 1910-20s

anyway lesbians are also a favourite manara's comic plot!!

[clkin]

i'm very appreciate your works!!:thumbsup: X10

[lude]

I mean the lines on the mesh... not thoose big black demo-version-lines. How do you set cartoon reyes so it doesnt render the wireframe at all?

[capblood]

Originally posted by lude

lude

Try with a lower convex line value.
Anyway, it's quite difficult to find the perfect values for the entire model, so you should deselect the general lines values render option and adjust different toon materials for each element of your model.

[pg|]

great
cell shading mmmmm!

[lude]

Thanks a lot! I´m getting more of a hang of this now... btw has anyome tried max5 cartoon rendering?

[Sinistar83]

Wow that stuff looks great! Keep up the good work. :)

[LucentDreams]

Haven't tried it in max five, but I used Vecta 3D for a short while at a small webstudio, really awesome cartoon flash rendering. Thats the same renderer in Plasma, so I assume it will be the one used in Max 5

[MDB101]

tested this cartoon shader in max 5.. looks ok :) I dont know how to set it up properlry but this is what I got.. I used my old alien model ehehe :)

At last! I'm really looking forward to seeing it! :D Have been in love with your images for quite some time now. Already loved your videoclip, that was great and really insperational.
Also just a technical question. U use Cartoon Reyes for your lines right? But what kind of shaders do you use for you characters?

[jcombe]

just turn the spotlight contrast to 100% and u will have a toonshader

[Roman]

That's just it? Great, I'll try it out now. thanks :)
I'll keep an eye out for the URL! Is your server well prepared for the traffic? ;)

And you do it all alone? If you ever need some help ;)
And thanks for the light tip, works great, don't have the problem I had with other toon materials anymore. :)

[gaggle]

Good lord that's gorgous work.

[Roman]

Jcombe, you should start a new thread for this, I believe to many people are missing this, and it should be on the frontpage! ;)
One more technical question, what cloth simulater do you use? (stitch, simcloth, wich?) You get very nice results. Keep it going and keep us updated :)

[jcombe]

i use simcloth for cloth and hair

[Audellah]

[The-Buzz]

Excellent work!! :applause:

The motion capture is exelent, I like it :love:
But I think , you should work more on the music, I don't like the music, I think is not enough detailed, something is missing, but I do not know what :shrug:

Sinon la voix du mur enfin de l'oeil est incompréenssible, moi j'ai lu les sous titre englais :surprised
Bon je ne reparlerais pas du toon shader et du modeling qui est tout a fait excellent, sinon j'adore le falloff sur les toilletes :D

I'm waiting the complete animation!

Good continuation!

[el paso]

I have to disagree with buddy above, I do like the music you've brought into it jcombe, I think it does capture the moment. I'm no techno trance wizard, but from what I've seen/heard, things look and sound pretty close to what's really out there. I still love this animation, not only because there are two hot ladies dancing, but also because I do think the animation is stellar, including the music.

:p

[jcombe]

thanks

[Tephlon]

great work!
I really love the characters, the animation, the whole story (which I'm anxious to find out about.) I wanna know what that Big Eye-thing is!

The style is really great, I love the toonshade.

Jcombe, maybe you should give all the info in the first page again:
- BLT = Bizarre Love Triangle
- 3D Max with Cartoon Reyes
- Light at max contrast for the Toonshade
- Your models
- Motion capture used

Stuff like that, like a FAQ.

[hyperSHADE604]

Hi, i am currently working on my reel and i m thinking of using toon shading but i have a few questions regarding this technique and would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me
i was just wondering if the toon shader is dependent upon UV's ?
do i need to fix the UV's to get a go0d result or does it just not matter?
thank you my friends@
that is all
:thumbsup: :beer:
