Need help with tomCat Toonshader!!

[anthonymcgrath]

if I remember rightly the tomcat cartoon shader came with some pretty good tutorials for getting started on it. I think it has to be loaded up with the plugin manager firstly, then you can link up a toonshader to your shading network in the hypershade. This node then lets you select a paintfx brush as a line-art renderer so you can use all the presets in maya :)

I'm probably way off the mark there and I'm sorry the explanations is lame and not very detailed but I'll have a snout about for some tootorials for you :)

its a bloody good plugin from what I remember!


*edit*

found some stuff on 3dluvr.com - they say you simply create a new cartoonshader in the hypershade, attach a brush to it and hit render (maya software not MR)

Thanks guy! I can get it to work!! What I want most out of this plugin is to get a nice cel-shading look, like Akira, Futurama or any cel-animations out there... there are sooo many settings that needs to be tuned and I have no idea what a lot of those weird words in the settings mean.

Do you or anyone else know of a setting that gives a nice cel-look? Like what value for which setting and which boxes to check, etc...

Thanks again!
