3D Like It's DrawnEveryone is lining up to render 3D scenes with the CINEMA 4D module Sketch and Toon.
Render engines, including CINEMA 4D and its Advanced Render Module, have become incredibly powerful and have made it easier than ever before to create high-quality, photorealistic imagery.
Many users long for the simpler life, though, and will find their solution in the non-photorealistic rendering capability of CINEMA 4D's module, Sketch and Toon.
Sketch and Toon has the ability to create so many different styles of 3D renderings, its name is almost misleading. Architects and engineers will enjoy the clean and precise technical illustrations it provides, while artists will appreciate its ability to render 3D scenes as a quick scribble or charcoal sketches.
A variety of shading engines make it easy to create illustrations ranging from halftone stills to cel-rendered animations. NPR- and raytrace-rendered objects can be combined in a single scene for unique styles.
An abundance of control and plenty of flexibility gives the user the opportunity to create almost any desired effect.
Sketch and Toon provides a wide range of options for drawing object edges and outlines. This powerful tool makes it easy to create high-quality technical illustrations with a few clicks of the mouse. Lines can be drawn in any color and with individual parameters for each object in the scene.
Presets allow quick selection of different line styles to define anything from thickness and opacity to multiple cloned lines that create a sketchier look. Styles let you easily replicate looks and settings across multiple scenes.
Strokes can even be animated, letting the picture be drawn right before your eyes - an excellent effect for presentations
Artistic StyleJust a few parameters separate clean, technical illustrations from a daring creative concept. Lines can be given variation for a more hand-drawn look. Vary thickness, angle and opacity to imitate calligraphy or various natural media. Add color inside the lines using shaders, images, other textures or solid colors. Add hatching for a hand-drawn shading look.
With Sketch and Toon you can realize outstanding artistic visions easier than ever before.
LinesThe fundamental capability of any NPR solution is its ability to draw lines, so Sketch and Toon includes an enormous number of line controls. To simplify workflow and reduce learning time, the controls are separated into 3 complexity levels ranging from simple to advanced. Sketch and Toon provides the maximum flexibility while maintaining CINEMA 4D's outstanding usability.
Sketch and Toon lines can match the contour of any object from any view. They can be used to outline objects, polygons or just essential edges. Sketch and Toon even renders hidden or backface lines in separate, user-defined styles. Lines can automatically overshoot and join at intersections for a variety of creative styles. In addition to rendering as a post-effect, lines can even be previewed in jreal-time in CINEMA 4D's editor window and even exported to Adobe Illustrator in vector format. With this abundance of options, any 3D render will fall into line.
Cel ShaderReplicate the unique shading of animations with Sketch and Toon's Cel Shader. Make your own manga or anime with the Cel Shader's quantized color shading. Custom gradients make it easy to define exactly the look you want and turn your 3D scene into an animation success.
Hatch ShaderThis shader creates custom hatch shading for your 3D objects, based on any texture you choose. Three levels of shading and coloring combine with the hatch texture to create colorful and artistic hand-drawn 3D renders. This powerful shader puts the "sketch" in Sketch and Toon.
Art ShaderSketch and Toon's Art Shader uses a sphere to define the illumination and shading of an object, much like the techniques of traditional artists. Unique shading can be created by varying the sphere's surface and coloring. This remarkable shader can transform ordinary 3D renders into abstract artistic masterpieces.
Spot ShaderIf halftones are hip, this shader hits the spot. By shading darker areas with larger or more abundant dots and lighter areas with smaller sparse dots, this shader easily mimics the halftone appearance of low resolution print images as well as one of today's most popular visual concepts. When it comes to easily creating 3D animations in this style, Sketch and Toon's Spot Shader is right on target.
CombinationSketch and Toon is a fully integrated CINEMA 4D module. You will enjoy the same basic interface known for easy learning and speedy workflow.
Sketch and Toon's many parameters are always convenient and responsive. Like all MAXON tools, Sketch and Toon gives you the ability to achieve the results you desire while enjoying a barrier-free workflow.
Sketch and Toon effects can be combined with any CINEMA 4D features, including Radiosity, Shaders, Splines and Particles.
