I have decided to start another thread for Cell-Shading with and within Genetica.

Here are the first results with a Sheriff's Star : a "new" one and an "old" one with hits + the same star like painted on "Papercraft" !

(I have used the Snippet tool to insert a black star.)

I already have worked on this kind of render but this time it's more "dynamic". The lights and shadows follow the curves much better, as you can see here :

Looks nice.

I tried something like this a while ago.

The hard Thing was to make the Edges like you do in a toon - or cellshader in modern graphiccards.

Here is a sample Picture from a XNA Project by Microsoft.

I understand how the shader works but gave up to simmulate that with Genetica.

I really like the cell shading work that you're doing here p6r. Are you able to adjust the line thickness and darkness to emphasize different parts of an image? I can't imagine how you'd be able to implement that type of logic since there's so much variation that just seems artistic in nature instead of rule based.

Thanks bholzman,

 

Here it's possible to change the thickness and the darkness of each "gradient" color, the number of gradient colors, the contrast (more or less) between the colors, to have more or less light, to modify the orientation of the light and shadow, to add outlines or not, to add some texture or not.

You can see the differences here between this picture and the one above.

 

(I don't understand what you mean with "emphasize.........." !?!)

By simply playing with the "Remap gradient" we can have a  lot of various renders from the first Sci-fi door :

Oh wow, the last one is really cool! By "emphasize" I mean to call attention too. I'm thinking in terms of making the line art thicker and/or darker to emphasize. While the un-emphasized line is thinner and/or lighter.

[p6r]

Thanks a lot...

 

In fact the gradient colors are from a simple gradient bar (black to white) added to the general color, in another layer (-> "Edit Style" panel).

You can use a gradient from dark grey to light grey if you don't want too much contrast between the colors.

And the larger the white is the more you will have a thicker "light" line. The larger the black is the thicker the "shadow" will be. (Hope you can understand my bad english !?!)

 

As you can see here I have replaced the white color by a grey color to reduce the light effect at the top left !

I have added outlines to create a background like in Comic books.

I really like this p6r. You're getting excellent results! Very usable and great quality for games.

Thanks... It seems you are the only one here !?!
