Cel-Shading With MAX ?

[dvornik]

Cell is like cartoon, right? Our teacher has amazing results with falloff materials (with really sharp mix curve and shadow/light falloff type). Plus some flat color maps for important features. They use it for broadcast. Looks better than the Illustrate plugin - that's the one I know about.

Neil Blevins has a tutorial showin how this kind of technique is done www.soulburn3d.com

Reyes Infografica released what is probably the best toon plug in for Max for free for R3. It's available for R4 but commercially, though the price is pretty favourable. :)

Use Vecta3D for cel shading its a great programme!

[PsychoMax]

Its a Plugin for 3dsmax which makes it ten times better!

Falloff Material ^_^

Try cartoon reyes...the line quality is really incredible. I have only been 'playing around' (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11132) with it so far, but it is really nice...

Here is the reyes/infografica 'cartoon' gallery...

You can download a demo version from their site, too.

havent cebas just announced they got a new one comming out?

[Chris]

yep, finaltoon (it also ships with finalrender stage1) it has the capability to render woodcut looking stuff too...(ooh ahh)

[Refracted]

Brazil also has a toon shader, for those who might not know.

[Khepri]

and Brazils toon renderer is GREAT! I have worked with it and the results ROCK!

If you make a standard max light.. and turn its contrast up to 95-100 boom Toon effect.. works well with the sharp falloff material.

Here is a few samples of the idea
Simple test scene (http://www.accesscable.net/~jamie/dac/celsample.jpg)
Same idea as above but with an outline plugin (http://www.accesscable.net/~jamie/dac/Boss.jpg)

The first picture has specular reflections turned on.. if one was to turn it off you could get a much more flat looking scene if you are going for that.

Hope this helps :bounce:

an easy and effective way is to duplicate your object, push ist, flip the normals and put a 100% self illuminating black material on it, this is just a simple way for getting outlnes and sometimes this works relly good :)
