View Full Version : Cel Rendering

I am using the cell render effect (C4DXL7) to produce a simple black on white outline of a logo I have created. However some edges won't apear, yet if I move the object a little they do.

Also the logo is made from extruded splines. Is there a way I can convert these extruded splines into plain old 3D (polygon)objects? I have tried 'connect' and 'current state to object' but they still leave me with 2 caps, not a polygon object.

thanks for any help

Here's a pic of what's happening.

It seems that some edges turn out and some don't. The textures should'nt effect the render should they? (cel render cancels them unless colour is selected).

Here's the object in the browser.

Or rather what each segment of the logo is made up of.

the reason for this is because XL's Cel renderer does not render indise lines, the reason you see the other inside lines is because they are infact created by the cappping what you need to do is current state to object with caps, tnd then seperate the polys that makes the edges so that both sides have edges.

Here is a sample file:
