OVERVIEW • 5
Sketch and Toon is a non-photorealistic (NPR) renderer that fully integrates into CINEMA 4D.
Essentially its job is to simplify 3D scenes and represent edges with lines to give an illustrative feel
to the nal result.
NPR software generally has two main areas: lines and shading. With Sketch and Toon, lines are
added to 3D objects using CINEMA 4D’s post effects functionality. Shading is taken care of by
CINEMA 4D’s material system with powerful additions such as the new Sketch shaders that help you
to achieve popular styles such as Manga and cross-hatching.
Superior Blend
Compare this powerful CINEMA 4D module with any other NPR tool on the market and you’ll come
to the conclusion that Sketch and Toon is in a class of its own. It has virtually all features of the
other NPR tools rolled into one. And then some!
But it’s not just this superior feature set that makes Sketch and Toon stand out from the crowd: its
integration with CINEMA 4D is outstanding. You can combine all of Sketch and Toon’s features with
practically any other feature found in CINEMA 4D and its modules, including radiosity, caustics,
shaders, splines and particles. This gives you ultimate exibility when illustrating your ideas. With
Sketch and Toon, there’s a million and one ways to present even the simplest object.
