Glad you like these, I use 3dStudio to render the images (I modeled all the
peices myself). One of the tricks to making it look "cartoonish" is using
self illumination (about 35%) on the materials, that way the colors are
vibrant and you don't get dark shadows. Another trick I use for the
outlines is duplicating all the objects, applying a wireframe material to
them, then moving the duplicate objects fractionally towards the camera.
That gives you the black outlines around all the peices. I don't have any
special plugins for rendering cel-shading, so that's the trick I came up
with to duplicate it as close as possible. I also use ray-traced shadows,
which take a long time to render, but the affect is nice.
I didn't do any post-processing of the images, unless you count the
matte/frame, or the signiture (both of which make them look more like a
piece of artwork).
I really like the way these images came out, but man they are a lot of work.
Just building the model is time consuming, but posing it is just as bad. Oh
well, you can't get good looking images without putting in the effort.
I plan to model my latest MOC in the same manner, it's a mecha inspired by
Five Star Stories designs. The MOC has been done for a couple weeks, but it
will be awhile before I get some renders of it.
Thanks,

Something else? And did you do any post processing? Thanks! (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
