Default npr technique?

Looks like output out of "sketchup" software.

the one you posted is almost definetly sketch-up, the 'pigtail' lines are the give away.

last week i used Max and the Pen 'n Ink shader to produce something that is a distant cousin to the one you posted. mine feels more like a graphic from an airline emergency exit pamphlet. it was for a NICU layout in a hospital.

If it is a cad file you can run the plot file through 'Squiggle' or use the free "freehand" autolisp routine on snap shots of your model. McNeel and associates has a product called "Penquin" for creating artistic hand made imagery, etc. from 3D models. Just some options.

It would help to know what software your are using so we could be more specific in helping you.
In any case, I use C4D and I used their Sketch & Toon module to create these quick images.

I know MAX has a 'toon' shader built in, but don't know if you could use it to create 'sketchup' style renderings. There are also several third party plugins to create this effect, not sure what they're called though, sorry couldn't be of more help.

Jorbu,

I really like your Sketch & Toon renderings, especially the second one. Does it use radiosity? What is your lighting setup?

Thanks,
Jack

jackb602,

The first image is set up with a light dome and one distant light (sun) with hard shadows.

The second image has no lights. It just consists of a sky and the ambient occlusion shader for materials at different levels of gray to differentiate the base, walls and roof elements. (I tried radiosity on stochastic mode and gave similar results, except it was slower than this method)

Both use different S&T outline styles. I just picked the ones I liked from the presets. These were my first tries using S&T.

Default Re: npr technique?

thought i'd chime in here....

the project was finished in a few hours, so dont get too picky about the roof lines...

this is and image i created with mental ray's contour shader.
it is very fast compared to max's ink n paint, even with advanced lighting....
