Trying to reproduce this Sketch&Toon Result

[Dtox]

I don't know, but it could be a composite.
Where you do a normal render, then another render with S&T, then overlay the S&T render over the normal render.
Play with blending modes.

It's a S&T line rendering layered over a regular render in Photoshop, probably in multiply mode. S&T does not render transparency so that's the give-away.

I am currently working on a project using this technique. As others have said do a S&T render and a regular render and composite in PS.

hi Ernest,
probably it's a comp in photoshop,
but S&T can render transparency.

sketch and toon can even do refraction. only thing it can't do is reflection.

If you set the Shading tab to Background:Off and Object:Off, and then put whatever material on your object you like, you get your material's shading characteristics along with sketch lines.

hi, LucentDreams,
it can do reflection too

[govinda]

...and it works with HDRI.

Where do you see a sketch line reflection?

It works with transparency and refraction but NOT reflection trust me.

ah, yes, now i know what you mean, sorry i misunderstood.
reflection is possible with sketch shaders, not with sketch lines.

for my works as architect i love to use S&T as an extra layer and comp it in psd.
so i can adjuts all perfect in postwork, gives me most controll:-)

sometimes giving it a bit of tranparency makes it look deeper and vry nice:-)
specially when overlayed and mixed with a good gi rendering( i love to mix real and NPR stuff)

cheers

Thank you for your quick responses, I appreciate all the help and insight the members of this board have been providing

Yeah, that! I knew that, really I did. Sorry for the incorrect post. I haven't used S&T for a while, forgot the specifics.

Comping linework in Photoshop is my standard workflow. However, much as I like S&T, I usually create lines in Photoshop with edge filters from special renders so I can include reflections and refraction in the lines. It also used to be a speed issue as S&T can be slow if you use complex line dynamics. It can also be close to instant if you keep the dynamics to a minimum.

hi to all,
this is a simple S&T setup i did 2months ago, and this is just a scratch of the surface, S&T is a powerful module.
