KeyShot 4.1 Beta - Toon Shading

Despot · 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)?

Playing around with settings some more... love this shader

Nice one, John!

This new material is indeed quite powerful and flexible.

This looks fantastic - definitely worth a good play! How long before it will it be implemented?
Great work Dries!!!

Nice ones, John! Really like the blended robots the best.

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.
