A little tribute to some of the greatest 'toons' in the world.

Took a while to figure out how to best do the emissive tiles...

Thanks!
Well, technically I didn't use emissive materials.

The 'toon panels' are of the translucent material type.
I applied the movie shots as diffuse texture maps (box map, no tiling) to each panel (thin extrusion). I cranked up translucency to 650.
Then I put a point light behind each panel and played with light intensities until I got the right diffusion of light through the panels.

I couldn't get quite the same dreamy effect using just emissive materials with a diffuse texture. The lighting looked too even and the panels too 'flat'.
With the translucent materials, the lighter areas of the texture actually seem to let light through more.

Nice one Dries... have no idea what the subject matter is exactly, but I love the render

And as for 'Lupin Girlfriend' that Aldo mentioned, I have no idea either, but she sounds ever so interesting

You've got me giddy over these, awesome!!

I did some tweaks to my 'panel alcove' material and contrast of the top right panel texture.

Thought floating panels of toon could be nice...
