Sijun Forums :: View topic - Achieving a 'painted' look in 3DS Max question

Brando · Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2002 9:58 am

I have recently started dabbling with using 3D models in my 2D digital painted work. I basically create 3D models, render the models as images using the 3DS Max scanline renderer, and then finally paint over the images using them as a guide. A friend told me there are renderers and plugins that may speed my process by rendering the images with a simulated painted look that I could work easier from. Any suggestions on how to achieve a 'painted' look in 3DS Max would be appreciated.

maybe you should check out http://www.vecta3d.com/ ... it�s a plugin for 3ds, you can create vectro grafics with it and kind of cartoon like style

some non-realistic shaders/renderers for max:
illustrate, vecta3d, swift3d, piranhese, comic shop...it's also possible to achieve a cel-shader by tweaking the output gradient of the standard blinn shader.

Hey blacksad..that is good stuff. I've been looking for something like that. But noone ever seemed to get past the cartoonrenderer stage.

Blacksad, that is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the info!

I dont consider using a 3D model as a base for a painting "cheating" in anyway, as long as its mentioned how you did it. Im just saying this because I can imagine you getting a lot of negative feed back on this.. maybe not.
Blacksad very nice. I dont have much 3D experience but I can imagine it would be very hard to get these types of effects.

Wouldnt it be so cool if a similar filter was used throughout a whole feature length film! Or would it ? I cant imagine it being done ever.

the film 'Waking Life' is pretty similar.. i think they had different artists do parts of the film so its not the same throughout.. but it has that painted look.. i have yet to see the movie..
the trailer looks pretty cool

I think this could be a cool look for a video game.
