    I will say that it was uncharacteristically generous of Daz3d to just give away the base set for the anime morphs and textures.

    From what I can tell this shader replicates a lot of the looks you could get with PWToon.

    The one major failing the Filament engine has is with transmapped hair. Some hair looks alright with the transmaps turned off, others not so much. So, there's gonna be a some trial and error there. My suggestion: Go digging through your older hair collection.

    Here's how I do it:

    1. Select the uppermost hierarchy
    2. Hamburger Menu (Scene pane) > Select > Select Children - now All surfaces are available
    3. Open all groups in the Surface Tab
    4. Select all materials
    5. Look for anything that might be glass and deselect that
    6. Apply the FilaToon General Shader - or whichever preset you prefer

     

    For setting the outlines, I click on whatever I want to accentuate and find its Toon Outline shell in the hierarchy in the Scene pane. All things capable of getting a Toon Outline will already have one - so I noly do this for things that I really want a darker outline on. Doing just a few often makes the whole scene look Awesome

    If you want to affect all surfaces you can just select the objects in the Scene pane, then hold down cmd(Mac)/ctrl(Win) while double-clicking the Sahder preset and you will get an options dialogue that will let you apply the shader to all surfaces instead of limiting it to selected surfaces.

    Writing a script to do the job shouldn't be hard - just a matter of selecting children, if desired, and then using the Content Manager to apply the preset.

    Very cool! 

    Yeah, I was limiting selection to exclude anything that should remain transparent.

    There are Many uses where just turning Everything Toon is Awesome. Let it be opaque - it's a backdrop painting!!! :)

    I'm loving FilaToon. For the moment, I'll just stick to rendering the characters with transparent backgrounds, then editing them with GIMP. For the DS render, I started with the Anime female base, then dialed in a custom shape, which then I added some toon morphs to her head to it to make her look more cartoony. I changed the outline color from black to brown.

    I had seen someone complain that they wanted old school American cartoons and not anime, for DAZ toons. However, the anime look is in the shape, so you can get your American cartoons if you have the shapes for them. (Perhaps not Looney Tunes, but you can easily make Ralph Bakshi style "rotoscope" pinups with FilaToon.) My only problem, so far, is making the irises and pupils bigger. Never figured out how. But since the results look 2D, I could easily just redraw the eyes to my liking for less of a hassle.

    Yes, this will work on any surface. Which means it can even work on imported characters, not just DAZ figures.

    Here's an imported MMD (miku miku dance .pmx model), before and after - it fixes the bad smoothing and seams

    I also agree with the sentiment.

    Daz 3D 'gives' us the tools. It's up to us to use them in 'our' taste. 

     

    I've been around these pages for many a year and, the entire time Daz 3D has been nothing but generous and uber-supportive!

    CC Marius toons pretty well.

    Trying out Toon Vickey with my own added morphs. This is too fun! The Adabella Hair looked too plastic to me so I altered the shading. Also it could use more morphs. The only way to move the hair from sticking in her chest was to make it super volumous. There was no way to just move it.

    It makes such a Huge difference when we can 'see' the rendered result as we work, doesn't it?!!!

    Great work, both of you!

    I'm completely clueless when it comes to animation styles so I've been winging it. I'm not hot on anime - know that much - so I've been sticking with my existing Genesis 9 characters. I dialed in 10-ish% of a toon morph for this image of Clara, my prohibition-era jazz singer, and used the anime materials on her. Shaders only on everything else, except the background which was added in GIMP.

    I am loving that within the last day, we now have a new NPR renaissance going. 

  • 3Diva3Diva Posts: 11,509

    The renders are fantastic! I love seeing all the new NPR renders! heart

  • almahiedraalmahiedra Posts: 1,351

    This really looks hand-drawn. It's very inspiring. 

     

    Regarding NPR, the eyes and mouth used to be a serious problem. Now the problem no longer exists; the solution has been truly elegant.

    So I dug out this old Lenore set, character and hair that I bought ages ago but never used. It was sooo time consuming because each object had to be selected one at a time to add the shader. When I added the shader to several at a time, it just didn't work. Does anyone know why? It ended up OK but I think doing post work made it a lot better. On the top, original, bottom post worked. It was just basic post work with my fingers on an iPad  but for any of these to really look decent, you'd have to really draw on top of it like comic book colorists, otherwise it still looks pretty amateurish.

    Well I went on a spending spree and got Vicky 9 and some other things, and since it is Halloween month thought why not with this image. smiley Still learning how to get things right, tried to change the teeth morph in Hexagon but ended up with the inner mouth and teeth moving away from where they should be. lol

    I bought Vicky 9 but when I load it it gives me an error about a missing "BaseAnimeF" morph.

    I get errors on the Vicky Materials too.

    I installed all the new packages, so what's wrong?

    Did you install the new Default Ressources for Daz 4.23 ? I had a similar error when I tried to load the Base Anime Toon before installing Default Ressources.

    As I said, yes, I installed everything.

     

    *EDIT*

    Ok, solved, thanks to your suggestion. I uninstalled and reinstalled the "Toon" packege and not it works fine.

    But one more question: How can avoid the "always following eyes"? It's the wrongest thing about anime... crying

    They don't follow... just because the sunken floating irises bring you optical illusion. Select the toon figure, filter Toon Iris Depth in Parameters pane, crank them up to > 30 ~ 50

    Thanks! I'll try that.

    Now I remember why I avoided G9 for so long. It's butchered it 500 different pieces. frown

    You're welcome !

    Yep, you still have to tweak them as needed.... I always use Look at Me scripts, pretty convenient. angel

    I really dont understand it. I used the filament tool on different object. They keep turning black. Has anyone written a step by step guidance already. Getting hopeless here......
