Hey all!!
Today is a bit of a follow-up / QBT post based on yesterday's with the tooned monkeys. After yesterday's post, I worked on doing a final monkey (no textures, so the lines are limited) and this was the result:
(there are three lights in the scene, the monkey isn't crazy, haha)
I like the result a lot! I do rather which that around his ears the lines were more prominent and that anti-aliasing actually responded on my PC (I think it's something set on my graphics card that is preventing it). Eitherway, I find, for the most effective black lines, you use as little black from the toon shader as possible and that you use the ramp instead:
Here, you can see, even on the preview sphere, that there is very little toon shader and a lot of black normal based influence. This, as far as I know, is the only way to add an outline without doing something really hard or off the wall, that I just don't know yet, haha. Remember, each material is different, so don't be so glued to this that you won't try something different.
For yesterday's blue material (which I changed to make the above), you just use a much smaller diffuse size. Then you get really big black shadows.
Anyhow, that's it for today! Hope it helped you.
Thank YOU!!!!
Hey! I'm having an incredible learning experience, not only learning how Blender works (yes, still learning), but also about Open-Source and the incredible software available. Stick around!
