anim Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 you can search the forums for toon shading to learn more how it can be done in Houdini or this tutorial may be useful https://cmivfx.com/store/571-houdini+cartoon+effect as it has references directly to Junichi Akimoto, the author of the video you posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandrake0 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Jeff have made a post with a toon shader example (very simple). maybe that can help you a bit. in this tutorial from ari denish he used in the last example the wren render in combination with the compositing nodes: http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2216&Itemid=361 i think the cmivfx video should be pretty good but if you can't get it the only way would be to learn more on vex shadeing and compositing. just for information in the new blender release there is a toon render build in. but also there you have to learn the concept. or just search for a tutorial for another software and analyse the concept and adapt it to houdini. (it's the hard way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandrake0 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 well my knowledge is very limited with vex so i can't give you a finished solution that works... but the rough way is shown in the video how it's done. 1. paint for selection of the area (maybe custom group) 2. scatter for creating points 3. some vop sop here 4. emit particle from the area where you selected. 5. create lines 6. create a custom shader something like that will it be. look at the video tutorials from ari danesh maybe this one helps: http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2635&Itemid=389 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
