I developed my Toonkit shaders because I wasn’t satisfied with the possibilities offered by the standard toon shading options in the major 3D packages. The main problem I saw was that they offered too little control when it came to defining a specific look yet at the same time too much control in places it doesn’t matter.
Toonkit contains highly advanced toon shaders which can simulate not only cartoon and anime but many other non-photorealistic styles.
Unlike many conventional toon shaders, Toonkit creates very clean and smooth looking animation while avoiding jagged shading and that notorious “floaty” 3D effect.
The set provides an array of useful tools for shading character animation as well as utilities to aid in background matte painting. Toonkit is compatible with the mental ray and RenderMan renderers.
