Sketch and Toon Post Effect

Sketch and Toon

Basic Main Lines Render Multi-Pass Shading Editor Display

The Sketch and Toon post effect is the main control center and line rendering engine used to create your non-photorealistic (NPR) render. This is where you’ll find the settings for the line render, post-rendered shading, multi-pass, editor display and scene-wide line styles. The Sketch and Toon post effect is to be found on the Render Settings > Effects tab. See your CINEMA 4D reference manual for general details on using the Effects tab.

To add the Sketch and Toon post effect:

In the CINEMA 4D render settings, on the Effects tab, click the Post Effect button and choose Sketch and Toon from the menu that appears. A new Sketch material will be created and assigned to the post effect if this option is enabled in the Sketch and Toon preferences.

Alternatively, Sketch and Toon has a number of automatic setup options that enable you to speed up creating your NPR scene. These settings can be found in the Sketch and Toon main preferences located in the Sketch and Toon section of the CINEMA 4D preferences.

To add the Sketch and Toon post effect using the automatic setup

Do one of the following:

In the Material manager, choose File > Sketch Material to create a new Sketch material. The Sketch and Toon post effect will be added automatically and the newly created material added.

Select an object in the Object manager, choose Tags > Sketch Tags > Sketch Style. A Sketch Style tag will be added to the object. The Sketch and Toon post effect will be added automatically and a new Sketch material created and assigned.
