Hello guys, does anyone know of a preety good Toon shader plugin you can use in AE? To speed things up in the production line rather than rendering 3d geometry. :)
Any help apriciated ;)

Huh? Toon Shader in AE? Seen any 3D objects in AE lately? Me definitely not. It's unclear what you want. Even so, it seems pretty pointless to look for such a solution when 3D programs render this stuff in a swoosh. Even if the actual shading can be replicated in AE, you still require to generate some info about the lighting in the first place (normalmaps, shading passes). Other than that you can of course always use Posterize and Find Edges as well as a bunch of commercial "toonification" plugins...

Hi Millenium :) , sorry my mistake I wasn't really clear. :sad:

I wanted to find out if there is a plugin in AE (or in Max for that matter), that you can use to animate and control the outline but more importantly the pencil strokes within the object (ex. a vase) you have generated in 3D.

I know of a good shader in MAX called Liquid+ that can do this, but it's very heavy on rendering animation, and I don't get the result I want...:shrug:

I'm still researching this, the final result I want to get is for the colour scrathes within the 3d object to be animated following the deformation of the polygons when it's animated, rather than randomly changing as it would be if you would draw it on paper.

Any ideas apreciated. THANX!!

To give you a better idea, this is what I'm trying to achieve... but animated ;)
