Toon Materials not work.

[borys_waw]

Hi, My Vray ver. is: 1.48.83
I have big problem with toon materials. They simply do not render. I make and apply simple toon material, like diffuse white with black lines, all exactly like in tutorials, and after rendering I can not see any lines, material looks like normal diffuse mat. The model is just fef boxes. All settings is set by default.
Please help, I lost about 9 hrs finding some solutions, without any effect.

Re: Toon Materials not work.

just tested toon materials, they appear to work fine for us here. All you should have to do, is make a toon material, and a V-Ray Default Material. Set the V-Ray Default Material as the base material for the toon material (it's one of the parameters), and then apply the toon material to the objects in your scene. When you render, you should see lines wherever a hard edge is on your objects with the toon material applied.

Some people apply the V-Ray Default Material to the objects, or forget to set the base material, so I would really suggest making sure you haven't done either of those things. Also, are you doing this test with a new scene, or a pre-existing scene? There have been some issues with some material types being loaded from existing scenes, so I suggest doing this test with a fesh scene first, just to make sure you can get the effect working.

Re: Toon Materials not work.

Yes, I do it like U said . New scene, new default material and then toon material with default mat as a base. Don't see any single line after render. I have played with settings of toon material, no effects even when I set some big numbers like 20 in line width or silhouetteMult.
However there is one more thing in the settings window which worries me - there is no tab with OverlapThreshold (I telling this because a noticed that some guys played with this setting to make the line more visible).
Anyway I still don't know whats wrong? I even thought that there is something in general settings of Vray what is responsible for display toons, but I noticed no change after set all by default.
Any ideas?

I guess we could see if there's any errors in the error log.

Re: Toon Materials not work.

doesn't look like there's any errors in the error log you posted. I have uploaded a simple scene that I was able to render with the toon material. I would like to see what your results are from rendering this scene.


Download This Scene

Hi, here is my render: http://ploader.net/files/23c609a4a64...b3b265274e.jpg
There is no toon efect on it.

Re: Toon Materials not work.

One more thing, in Your scene I have two materials and none of them is toon material. "LayeredMateial" and "toonMat" both are diffuse only. But I created toon mat. from LayeredMaterial and You can see result above - still without lines.

Toon mat is working ...

Re: Toon Materials not work.

I know it looks strange, but unfortunately so far not been able to see toon effect on any of my renderings.
Strangest thing is that toon mat seems to be very simple, simpler than other with wchich I had no problems by the way.
