Cinema 4D Tutorial - Using Cel Shader to Cast Shadows on 100% Luminant Objects

[@copigo7]

thank you for this tutorial!! so useful 8 years later :D

[@eyedesyn]

Glad it helped! And 8 years still going strong haha

Hi! This is great :) How did you get the nice outline lines on everything?

[@aymeric-pm]

Hello and thank you for all your tutorials that help me a lot and make me learn a lot! I have a question, in relation to this tutorial: Is it possible to render only the shadow of the plan without using photoshop or multi-pass? I would have liked to have rendered the object directly + its shadow but without the full floor. Thank you very much for everything.

Hey! buddy, thanks for all the awesome tutorials. I'm working with Lasershow software and I try to render just the outlines without all the inside? I have tried to use sketching and the Cel effect, but still can't get it to work...:-( Thanks! again. Marty,

[@lowhp_comic]

I dont understand, my materials have textures for the luminant material, like cartoon walls, rocks, tiles etc. I dont know how Cel Shader would work since wouldnt that just replace my texture completely?

[@kogut_r]

Great tutorial! Is there a way to isolate this toon shadow in the multi-pass render? Thanks!

[@eyedesyn]

Just by using object buffers on the floor object, I'm not sure if the toon shadow would show up in the Shadow multi pass. Give it a try!

Hi, eyedesyn. I have a question about 'shadow' in cel shader. I tried several ways to export only shadow. Finally, I could not find out any ways. Is it because it is just 'shader'? Is there any other way I don't know?

[@AgentSmith13]

What if the the surface has a image texture in the luminance channel? use layers?

[@alocrisis]

Hi, please is there a way change the texture of your shadow like....the shadow being cross hatched like in drawings

@eyedesign - how did you create the dot in the middle of the camera lens? is that just a plane or is that put of streaks/cell shading?

[@ArtySwiss]

Firstly, thank you for the tutorial. My question is, when I apply the shadow from cell shader, I want to set my camera further in the distance and I get this dark ring/ line in the background that is the same color as my shadow. Is there anyway to get rid of that or am I limited to certain camera angles.

[@ArtySwiss]

+artyswiss To answer my own question. I checked color and upped the percentage to 125% and it seemed to do the trick.

[@Losti108]

Thank you for the tutorial! But i have a question. How did you enable the lines ( you said line art style ) on the model ? I started to work on cel shading with help of your tutorials but i can't see the lines.

[@eyedesyn]

Check out my Sketch & Toon playlist on KZbin and you'll see the Line Art tutorial that should help you!

[@Losti108]

Ah thank you so much, i didn't have see this.

[@Grafii2198]

Is there a way to blur a little bit that shadow?

[@eyedesyn]

For cartoons you wouldnt want a blurry shadow but you'd use a Soft Shadow instead of Hard Shadow I used here

[@AgentSmith13]

what if the luminance is an image?

[@eyedesyn]

it'll just show that image without shading
