Hi !
Here is the last thing I am currently working on.
It's the first time I use a toon shader since I used to find it without interest, but finally I can do some funny things with this style !
Now it is finished I will write some short stories and animate him.
He is an alien from Mars and a little bit stupid.
Comments & critics most welcome !

Looks good!

He has a lot of character, strange you didn't get more replies.
The only suggestion i have is to remove the gradient from the dots on his belly. Is it possible to make his outline a little thicker and softer?

That's it, no further comments! Maybe make some sidekicks and you could make a great comic!

Not more replies ? It's the story of my life !:cry:

Anyway I completly agree with you, I just thought about making the dots sharp.
And yes it is possible to make the outline thicker, I will make some tests but I' not sure it will be better.

Sidekick ! Definitly sidekicks !!

Thanks Agilers !
I think the animation will take a lot of time because unfortunatly I am very busy for the moment.

Here is an update of the rendering :
_ outlines a bit thicker
_ nose outlined
_ sharp edge blue dots
_ new pose !

Great job! So full of life and character!

That's definitely a great use of the toon shader. He's really nicely rigged as well :thumbsup:

I've tried to play around with the toon shader in max but haven't had much luck (nor skill) archieving your kind of result. :hmm:

That looks better :)

Have you tried purple dots instead of blue? I don't have any real suggestions left at the moment, maybe some long hairs at the tip of his ears, i don't know :)
