Hello Everyone,
I have a client that is looking for the complete opposite of photo realism for an architectural animation/fly through. They want to come as close as possible to some hand drawn sketches by their architect. So not really toon/cell shaded and not water colour, but something closer to something drawn with a multi-colour pen or pastel pencils.
Can this be achieved with the toon shader from VRAY 5? Any examples that exist? I’ve having a tough time finding something online.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It’s hard to imagine what they are expecting but off the top of my head I can think of 2 methods; one is to use ‘sketch’ textures on toon materials or regular ones, so e.g. cross hatch textures.
The attached is a test I did for a technical animation, so that method could work quite well.
The other method would be toon lines. possibly solid colour also, then overlaid onto a static background of cross hatching or similar.
Might look odd unless you multi-layer it with various sizes to indicate depth…could get complicated 
I’d go for option A
