Hi,
I've only just been getting into VRaytoon and have a few questions with regards to using it with render elements (I know it's flagged as a 'simple effect', but seems pretty capable to me)
1. Is there any way to split different toon effects into separate passes?
Say I'm using include/exclude lists to separate out line styles on different effects - I can't see a way to pass that info onto the render element (I can add a second Toon render element, but it's still outputting both effects)
(I also wonder if object IDs would be a better way of handling multiple toon effects
2. Also is there any reason the render element is mono - no way to get the colour info if it's in the scene (the outline doesn't take into account other lighting etc, so doesn't seem to be reason why it should be mono?)
3. It's being passed to a colleague who is new to 3DS Max, so trying to keep it simple - they're rendering out a pass without the outline and the toon line to work over in photoshop
At the moment they're just turning off the toon effect, but not sure if there's a render element which will output everything bar the toon effect
Thanks,
Steve
