Title: KeyShot 4.1 Beta - Toon Shading
Post by: Despot on May 23, 2013, 02:55:02 AM

Testing out the Toon Shading material type new to 4.1

I really like this, I have used Sketch & Toon in Cinema 4D, but it had its drawbacks insofar as it was post-effect, so it was excluded from other rendering effects like DOF, GI etc.

This implementation of Toon Shading has no such limitations, there is instant feedback visually which is excellent. I think I will be using this quite a bit in the future...

More images to come

interesting, could be useful. Any controllable parameters (such as line thickness / contrast etc)?

Exciting! Going to be invaluable for product instructions, manuals and the like. Amazing how cross-disciplinary KeyShot is becoming.

Beautiful. Love it John. Robots just work so well together with NPR. This and caustics are my fav new features this release.

@edwardo - lots of control options _ contour angle, width, quality. options to show outline contour, interior edge contour and environment shadows. Along with settings for color and contour color.

@Simon - KeyShot 4.1 is releasing within the next few weeks :)

I must say this is fantastic ;D, I was always kind of wondering when/if this kind of thing would make its way into Keyshot
Really, Keyshot 4.1 is sounding more and more exciting

Man I can't wait for this!
For me this is one of the best ways of showing the product development cycle in a single image.

Nice! It looks less effective on the highly complex stuff, but the robots with the nice simple bold shapes it works an absolute charm!

Cheers!
