cell render (i know, i know...)

[Arrias]

I don't like to plug myself but... I put together a small bunch of presets called Sketch Cell (http://www.xenodesigns.com/forums/viewthread.php?tid=16) (finaly managed to get it so people could download it) that gives a more drawn look to something instead of just the standard outline. It's still quite outline like & far from perfect but it does give a more drawn look.

But an much better thing to look at is Kaiskai's shades of cell which inspired sketch cell. Unfortunatly without C4D it's hard to see how and what you can actualy do with it but the example pictures give you an idea and it's quite easy to tweak it to your liking.

Sorry but I can't give a link to it because I've no idea where it's hosted (it may still be somewhere on the bhodiNUT Forums (http://forum.bhodinut.com/) but they probably wont be up for very much longer :( )

Anyway, it is possible to give a more cartoony look to things but it takes some tweaking of materials to get the right effect and in some cases you don't even need to use the cell renderer to do it.

[Edit]

Try here (http://forum.bhodinut.com/viewtopic.php?t=331) for a look at it :)

anyway...also look at this thread:
http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12977&perpage=15&pagenumber=3

I've seen the celrendering in 3dsmax and I must say...it really rocks..but it doesn't matter, I will stay in Cinema..hopefully someone will come with something similar someday:thumbsup:

I remember reading somewhere that kaiskai was working on a second version on the shades of cell..but I'm not sure. I'll keep hoping anyway..

cheers

the file is there on my site, and the file downloads just fine (just checked), you have to go into the library area though to download SOC though.

Erg, I thought I'd finaly got it working :S I just get a gateway timeout from the link :hmm:

Try off of http://darkt.zapto.org and if that doesn't work I'll put it up somewhere else.

mdme_sadie:
Thanks for that TP sprites tutorial (as well as the others) on your site, it's given me a ton of ideas & helped me get a little better at using TP :thumbsup:

[sputnikinspace]

nope...the wonderful Lycos Tripod Homepage Building has something against you..beacuse it doesn't seem to work!

Managed to download from one of the old links..but it refused to render it in cinema...hmm. Don't know what's wrong...

Thanks for the effort anyway

looks promising.
the prospect of photoshop filters....that just makes me grin alone....is it out....yet...or is this just whats gonna be happening ?
when they talk about photoshop filters any chance there is more info on this?
cheers

[rirad]

Well.......just try the demo. The link is on their site :)

(I still don't know why this plugin would be better than just editing your render in PS though)

Maybe someone might be able to explain why this plugin is so nice (the results look great though)

[flingster]

the filters are animatable....hence you don't need to frame by frame it in photoshop...

[do-it]

Hi
I just saw your postings (not often answering to english postings, because my english is not so good).

Why we wrote pleasantville:
I often had renderings and did my videoposts in Photoshop or Paintshop, Frame to frame to frame..... No I am able to use the ACF-Files which I made (you can do more own of them by yourself, 45 I prepared for you at this moment) in Photoshop not only to render only one object in this touch without flickering - no, I am able to change between different Filters in one animation or from object to object. I am able to create my own edgemode or to use quant for another different comicstile. With masks I can project effects and textures to each object. I can mix effect in timeline or fade them out. I can blur single Objects and change the blur in timeline very soften from object to object.
I hope that our users get much inspiration to create their animations rendertouch/stile very individual with this tool ;o))

Full Version is coming on Monday, english tutorial comes tomorrow ( and it is not witten by me ;o)))

have fun and good ideas! Do-it!
