Rendering a sketchy effect?

#1

Hey guys,
After browsing the internet and multiple forums I finally decided to go and ask for a little help here. I’m currently trying to achieve this kind of effect (it’s a blend between my 3D model and photoshop painting). I first tried using the contour shaders but even when I use ramps or noise in the contour color the line remains flat and smooth. I then tried connecting a ramp in the shadows of my mia material but it still looks very flat…
I will have to use Nuke in the end but if you had any advices or hints/tips on how to achieve this effect, well… it would help a lot :slight_smile:

Thanks for reading and have a great day,

ML

It would help to see what your render is looking like when you are rendering so I can see what the exact differences are. I would say though that the look is probably coming from taking the render and editing it further in photoshop. remember, the render is never the final output as you can get it to look even better with some photoshop or after effects work.
