Toon Shading in Cinema 4D Using Redshift Matcap

[@NyoraiFidesTV]

Great to have you back on your channel!!! We always need our dose of EJ! Love the tuts! Definitely gives some options for now 😏

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks so much for the kind words!!! Been very busy but hope to get back into the swing again 🙏🙏

[@SandroSanakoti]

EJ is always here to save our arses in the most labor intensive times! You are my hero!

[@eyedesyn]

Hahaha glad to hear and happy to help! :)

[@sajjadabouei6721]

EJ is back with another great tutorial, horraaay🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@sajjadabouei6721]

I used to use arnold toon shading, but for several month I swithed to blender and with eevee and greas pencil, man such a wonderful time (specially cause eevee is real time)

[@claireselim605]

Thanks so much EJ, love the tutorial - you're the best!

[@eyedesyn]

Glad you like it! Appreciate the kind words!

[@lillianmeng927]

Love to try this. Thank you very much, EJ. Very beautiful style!

[@eyedesyn]

Please do! Thanks for watching!!

[@3D_Blender_C4D]

Brilliant find, never would have thought of doing this!

[@JonathanWinbush]

No Donnie love? 🐢

[@eyedesyn]

Donatello does machines, but Raphael is cool but crude.

[@Yuriy_Tsezar]

can you show how import metahuman in cinema, or at list obj animation from blender?

[@nappy155]

wow pretty cool, just about to start a toon city scene

[@TheGrrson]

An interesting workaround, for sure. I am still hoping for legit cel and sketch and toon shaders to be implemented in RS. Thanks for the tips, as always!

[@eyedesyn]

I hope so too! Glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial - appreciate the kind words and you watching!

[@gonzalomenevichian2167]

blender is killing it that area i wish they implemented as well in c4d

[@TheGrrson]

@@gonzalomenevichian2167 They really are.

[@LoganPinney]

Finally some decent toon shading nodes for RS. Thanks for another great tutorial EJ!! So you're team Raf eh...

[@eyedesyn]

Raf is the best...I do like Mikey too though but you can't beat the OG TMNT movies and their personalities!

[@0zaidi]

I like the use of fresnel effect, mix some noise here and there it’d be fun, also i’d like to suggest the use of old fashioned sketch and toon render effect, usually i use it combined with octane’s toon shaders, the reason why i like the standard renderer’s line art is because it’s more consistent and gives the ability to select and draw specific edge selections+, i wish we can have that as an aov someday instead of rendering twice, cheers 🍻

[@eyedesyn]

Absolutely nothing beats Sketch and Toon, so powerful but so needs to enter the world of 2023 hahha

[@0zaidi]

maxon can do it, but I'm sure they're probably working on new big features like a liquid sim system, wink wink 😂

[@moh1t]

Great tute!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!!

[@hoaeto2180]

You're genius

[@ruben-dion]

Perfect! Life savor")

[@eyedesyn]

Happy to help! 🙏🙏

[@effectatron]

Great stuff as always! Still wish they'd just go ahead and finish their toon shader so it can react to light like sketch and toon

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks man!!! And finish...I don't know if they've even started it lol

[@effectatron]

@@eyedesyn lol yeah it's been on there trello board for far too long ha I need it

[@zahramohammadi6126]

That was reallllllllllllllllllllllllly Aaaaaaaaawsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@Moisestobias10]

Awesome! I enjoyed learning this tip about toon shaders with Redshift! But I still wonder how it works to use a luminant with toon shader like Arnold render's tool.

[@vytasrauckis6703]

Regarding the selection of the colors in the ramp, always start the rectangle selection in the upper band of colors (the ramp itself) and drag the rectangle over the little markers under the ramp. Works every time.

[@eyedesyn]

ahhh good shout, Vytas!

[@mpbMKE]

When I hear EJ talk about the "toon shader oasis off in the distance" I feel like he knows more than he's allowed to say. 😅

[@eyedesyn]

I mean the Toon Shader is on the Redshift feature map...bad news is it's been there since 2019 lol

[@mpbMKE]

@@eyedesyn Lol, exactly, let's kick it up the priority list already! 😅

[@ltpelletier]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. Not being able to easily control the direction of the light on a scene level is a bit of a drag, though. Hopefully, it will come next. Meanwhile, unless you can achieve a more interesting look with Redshift, I'm not sure what the advantage is over Sketch and Toon. Render time, maybe? I will go back to your old Sketch and Toon tutorials (which are also great) and see what works best for me.

[@eyedesyn]

The render advantage is nice for sure. One of the bigger drags with Sketch and Toon (And it's still an amazing renderer for how old it is) is the LINE rendered. The outlines are absolutely render hogs and can flicker a lot. I hope Redshift gets on their toon renderer soon...hey, maybe this tutorial and comments we get on it will help motivate them :)

[@JMach4217]

@@eyedesyn THIS. Especially with heavy math. I was attempting to do sketch and toon with an OEM truck model and it crashed C4D every time

[@Can2lK]

Hey nice tutorial, I am hoping for more art directable nodes in the future, but good starting point. btw you can always right cklick somewhere on your gradient to change your interpolation type for all handles, maybe its less fiddly?

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for the tips!

Is it possible that you can help make a video on ur channel about importing 2d svg characters and rigging them?

[@weme78]

In Redshift Toon Materials, when I apply the alpha image to the plane polygon, the line is not represented by the alpha map, but it comes out according to the plane. How can I make the line appear according to the alpha map?

[@heehee0101]

I'm getting into the process That you've just taught me!!!! In the KZbin C4D lectures i've seen through, it's the most helpful lecture I guess.. Thankfully I can finish my projects in really easy way SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD Thank you EJ... from Korea(not north)

[@didodididodi4339]

cool!...what the Redshift version you have it...I've updated but MatCap node is still missing...................

[@eyedesyn]

The latest version is 3.5.17, it'll show up in your Maxon One App

[@giuliam-ep1fd]

@@eyedesyn hey ! thanks for your tuts, same as @didodididodi4339, i can't find the matcap nodes even if my RS version is the last one. if you have any idea to find it, let us know ! thx again

[@ryanelliott197]

Been checking the Redshift roadmap for 3 years and Toon shader still isn’t even in active development 😔 thought about trying Arnold and have used octane toon shader for projects before. You’d think since Sketch and Toon was built into C4D native it’d give them a head start, but I know nothing about software development so I won’t say that :)

[@eyedesyn]

haha i know i knowwwww....but Redshift was acquired and wasn't involved in Sketch and toon

[@thomasprinzivalli3873]

You should edit and add a "MatCap" counter 😜

[@tlgudrla]

I can't find a matcap node in the pannel...What can i do?

[@celialopez5605]

toon shadin oasis XD thanks this is what I needed but not 100% convainced about the render, I think I still prefer the C4D normal sketch and toon, hope we can achieve one super soon in Redshift, we are almost there!

[@denof_f1]

Nice! WEN for Octane?))

Octane already has Toon!

Hey, I also do toon shading on my channel. It would mean a lot if someone gave me some feedback on it! Also, Michelangelo is the best turtle, we all know it! 🐢

[@eyedesyn]

Mikey's def good lol. No love for Leo in these comments I guess! And awesome cel work! Love it!

[@bioniccaterpillar7374]

for today this material DOES reacts to light, and everything started to mess up 🙄

[@eslib2]

this was pretty disappointing :/

[@eyedesyn]

why because raph is my favorite turtle? or because there is no real toon shader in RS yet? Jus trying to give everyone the ability to do some bit of toon with the features available!

[@MoCap3_com]

You are very talented and great at what you do, but you must post more often then you do. Oh start teaching Unreal Engine its the future.

[@JonathanWinbush]

I already tried to get EJ into Unreal well get him though 😉

I know I’m slacking! And unreal is definitely on my list - got WinBush teaching some awesome unreal stuff!
