klos Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) Like in the title. Any suggestion? I notice that even SideFX don't talk about this kind of rendering. Maybe it's not common use of Houdini but is good quality toon possible in Mantra? Edited March 25, 2007 by klos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibarrick Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Yes you can, but at the moment there are no pre-rolled shaders etc. to do it for you. You might want to read this thread Toon shaders and there are other threads on the forum about this subject too. What is really needed is a complete and fully implimented set of shaders with complimentary cop, output and object assets to make toon rendering simple. Basically though there is nothing special that other renderers do that can't also be set up in mantra, as with most things it just requires knowing how....

edward Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 There's been at least a few threads on this, search around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I think there was a very amusing one done all in Houdini by Hwee Kok, IIRC. hktoon or something. Search about here, you'll find it. It might even be on the main site's [old] codex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 i know houdini is not meant to be point and click but without a shader writing team to call on you are in trouble if you dont have a maths background and a lot of time to spare more out of the box shaders would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
