|
|
|
### BToon Skin Material
|
|
|
|
#### Description
|
|
|
|
This is a simple toon material designed for skins. It has controllable rim lighting, SSS, and specular effects. This material only works with EEVEE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Usage
|
|
|
|
- Select target objects
|
|
- `3D Viewport` > `Object` > `BToon Utilities` > `Append Skin Material`
|
|
|
|
## Contour Rendering
|
|
|
|
### Approach 1: Mesh Displacement and Culling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Description
|
|
|
|
This is a mesh-based technique to rendering contours, where meshes are duplicated, flipped, and then displaced outside.
|
|
|
|
- Pros
|
|
- Thickness can be controlled using textures.
|
|
- Contours can be displaced in the viewport.
|
|
- The same effect can be easily reproduced in other real-time rendering environment such as Unity.
|
|
- ...
|
|
- Cons
|
|
- Ridges, valleys, and suggestive contours are not supported.
|
|
- ...
|
|
|
|
#### Usage
|
|
|
|
- Select target objects
|
|
- `3D Viewport` > `Object` > `BToon Utilities` > `Set Contours`
|
|
|
|
#### Implementation
|
|
|
|
- It applies `Solidify` and `Displace` modifiers to the selected objects.
|
|
- An emission-based material with backface culling enabled is created and set to contours.
|
|
|
|
### Future Work
|
|
|
|
- Utilities for composition-based contour rendering
|
|
- Utilities for FreeStyle-based contour rendering
