In this tutorial I’m going to show you how you can use Cinema 4D and Sketch and Toon to apply the popular line art styles to your 3D objects. Sketch and Toon is a fairly deep module in C4D but I’ll cover all you need to know to be able to achieve this line art style look. I’ll show you everything from how to flatly texture your object to how to apply strokes to your objects and even splines. I’ll also demonstrate how to use Sketch Style Tags to be able to apply specific styles and sketch materials to individual objects in your scene.

Hi!
I want to congratulate you your work here! You’re awesome!
Looking this video, I notticed one big trouble I have. In your project, the transitions between colors are totally flat. From blue to pink is only one pixel. It seems to be a vectorial image! However I can’t make my project be like yours.
I’ve compared both render attributes but seem to be the same. If you could help me with that I would be very grateful.
Oh sorry. Please delete the last message, I’ve found what it was… My apalogies
Hi!
I got this problem while using sketch & toon – after I apply it on a cloner the outlines overlap when one object covers another. When I make the cloner editable the problem is gone, however I’d rather not do that. Could someone please help me?
Hi!
Great tutorial, it’s great but I’m such a noob, I come from 3Dsmax so I’m total crap.
So, I use sketch&toon tag on an object to add a colored line but I really dunno how render just lines by itself and material by itself. I try by adding a post effect’s Multi-Pass tab, but it render my custom lines in black.
Could you help me please ?
Thanks
Hi Jessy! To render out Sketch & Toon lines as a pass, you must enable Post Effects in your Multi-pass settings.
A good one. But the project file I downloaded here is not the one of the beginning but the end of this tutorial.
Hey EJ the scene file no longer exists on dropbox :( can you re-upload
Ops… Turntable C4D Scene File missed
