Description
I revised my method for creating a toon shader in Maya, so I decided to make a more visual tutorial as well.If you try it out please let me know how it worked for you.

Hello. Thanks for the lesson.
But could you help with a certain problem? I want to draw 3d model in 2d style.
Using your material pattern covered with ragged outline on the edges, and has circuits inside.

Can I customize the material so that it covers the model as shown in the screenshot?

In a sense, clear sharp contours on the faces of the object.

No matter how many times I try this, it just comes out just theΒ toonBlueOutline color all over. There must be something Im missing.

Try moving around the two colors on the outline ramp.Β You might even have to flip them (put the bottom one on top and the top one on the bottom).

Toon tab -> Add solid colour / shaded-brightness three tone -> Add Outline -> Done.

Sure...Β but then you don't learn how to make it on your own.

Can I add this to an existent material?
I already have a texturized material, and well I'd like to give it the celShade look.
Do you know what do I have to exchange for the image file?
π: 0 β©: 1
There is a way to do it, but it's a little complicated.Β Basically, if you want your texture to come through, but still want it to look like toon shading, then you need to plug the texture into each one of the slots in your ramp for the color.Β In order to still get that banded shading look, though, you will need to go into each file node and turn down the gain for each of the ramp sections that you want to be darker.

Hmmmm I see.Β
I'll try that, thanks a lot, fella.Β

this was great, thank you. since all i can find these days are paid for tutorials. this worked perfectly.

what is your advice for combining toon shading with custom textures. or can it be even done?
π: 0 β©: 1
It can be done!Β It's kind of a pain, though.Β You have to connect your textures/images to each of the slots in your color ramp.Β You just need to make each texture/image darker and darker (just like each of the ramp colors is darker than the last, giving you that banded toon shading look).

thanks I'll give that a try

how can i control the thickness of the outline...??? i got like very "thick"
π: 0 β©: 1
By adjusting the positions of the colors on the outline ramp.

Thanks for sharing this. Has been very helpful putting together a Cartoon Template Shader for me to use in my animation work.

I know it's late but thanks alot !
And also, is it possible to plug a texture map that could "replace" the map but still have a "toon" shading ?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well "toon" shading is really just shading without gradients. Instead of a soft falloff from where the light strikes it to the darker area in shadow it is just a couple solid colors. You could replace either of those solid colors on the color ramp by plugging textures into those color slots (the same way we plugged the color ramp into the outline ramp). So it certainly CAN be done, but whether it gives you what you want is hard to say.

What if I wanted to add a texture to my cel-shaded object, how would I go about doing that?
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, very well explained and a good end result with lots of options after completion. This is a great tutorial.

Hi and thanks for making this tutorial. It is really helping me with my portfolio stuff.

Nice tutorial, been looking for one of these in ages~~
π: 0 β©: 0
this looks handy, I plan to use cel-shaders for a project of mine this is going to my favourites list so I can always go back to it

Wow, this is very precise and helpful!
But my outline takes over the entire sphere. I've tried fiddling with everything I can think of, including all the ramps, but it's either all black or gradient shaded...
Any thoughts?

hmmmm why do you do the whole thing manually using a phong instead of using the toon settings and manipulating the colors?
π: 0 β©: 1
never mind i see what you did
π: 0 β©: 0
Try adjusting the positions of the colors on the outline ramp?

hmm wonder if something like this is gonna work in 3ds max! I see all the tools I use too...maybe, might give it a go
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know much about Max - but I don't think it is quite the same in the sense that Maya is "node driven." However, I am sure the same thing could still be very much accomplished. I would love to know if you try.
