MAXON - November 3, 2003 - "Sketchy" details are a thing of the past as MAXON announces the availability of Sketch and Toon - a new CINEMA 4D module for non-photorealistic output offering technical illustration styles, advanced cartoon cel and artistic rendering technologies. This exciting new module boasts the most comprehensive feature set of any non-photorealistic renderer on the market.
Once again MAXON went "back to the drawing board" to bring its users the latest in 3D and rendering technologies. Artists can choose from many preset styles and various options to achieve the look they desire. This versatile new module provides the ability to draw lines that match geometry accurately, or create freehand interpretations, or generate distorted styles, or produce cloned variations, or motion lines, or stroke connections and more more more.
Sketch and Toon also goes way beyond adding simple lines to your work. The faces of 3D objects can be "filled in" with shaded, rendered, colored and textured styles incorporating different shaders like cel, hatch and artistic. The final result can be delivered in still images, drawn animations or even vector-based Illustrator files.
The sheer amount of features is second to none - and so is the ease-of-use. Sketch and Toon features three different user levels for fast, simple and streamlined workflow. A multitude of presets is included for immediate quality results. More adventurous users can dig deeper into all aspects of functions for ultimate control. User-created styles can also be saved and loaded as presets for later use or sharing with other artists. Video tutorials are also included at no additional cost to further flatten the learning curve and make artists productive in record time.
Best of all, Sketch and Toon is fully integrated with CINEMA 4D which not only gives optimum workflow, but opens up a whole wealth of extra possibilities. CINEMA 4D specific features such as Radiosity can be used in conjunction with Sketch and Toon giving artists even more ways to produce an original result.
3D professional Paul Taylor says: "It's fast, it's immediate. Three clicks and you are in business. You have complete control over all parameters. All styles from technical to cartoon to hand drawn are possible. Sketch and Toon expands the usefulness of CINEMA 4D to such a degree, I would definitely not want to be without it."
