And toony it is!

Just yes­ter­day I posted about hav­ing to cre­ate my mod­els in a much more styl­ized, car­toony way… so here’s an update on the cart from yesterday’s post:


Looks much bet­ter, no? I went ahead a redid the whole thing, this time aim­ing for a styl­ized look from the ground up. At first I tried to sim­ply ren­der the old model using toon shaders, how­ever that didn’t turn out sat­is­fac­tory at all, as there’s much more to the car­toon look than just slap­ping any ol’ toon shader on what­ever model you have.

For a while I had my doubts that 3D cel shad­ing could pro­duce the look I was hop­ing to achieve, but see­ing the result on this cart I now feel con­fi­dent that the upcom­ing (more dif­fi­cult) char­ac­ter mod­els will also turn out fine.
