VRayToonMtl

[zeronove]

Is there any tutorial somewhere about the new VRayToonMtl ?
I'm trying to figure out if it can be useful in archviz for some different approach or concept studies but docs seem to me a bit obscure
Thanks

Hi zeronove , you can check this tutorial from our Courseware: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...AX/Toon+Shader
Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Thanks, got it
...but what about outlines? Do I need to control them the old way? ...like an atmospheric effect, correct?

[vlado]

Yes, the outlines are still done through the VRayToon atmospheric effect.

Best regards,

I'm having problems as well, mainly to anticipate the diffuse color. I know it's not supposed to be a physical correct shader (although I'm assuming the reflection aspect of it is) but it's really hard to combine VRayToonMtl with a VRaySun.

In this image I have three different renders. No GI and only lit with a VRaySun, from left to right:

1. A VRayMtl with a VRayColor in the diffuse with default values, ie. a grey value of 128

2. A VRayToonMtl with the same VRayColor instanced in the diffuse

3. The same VrayToonMtl, but I changed the color to 100% white. It's not even close to the 50% grey in the first render

So the only way for me to get a brighter color in the last image is to change the photographic exposure, which in turn blows out the sky.

In these renders I used a EV of 13,5, but in order to get a somewhat 100% white diffuse color with the VRayToonMtl, I had to lower it to 9,035
