Even though I’m rather under the weather today, I tried to do something constructive with my time. Today I practiced a bit more with using 3D software to create 2D-like images. So, I picked a random 3D character in my library and got to work.
While there are some good shaders in Carrara that help with the cell shading, it requires a lot of finessing to get things to look how I want. I think that I need to try working more with gradient shades instead of just a flat color. I think I might work a little more on this image to what I can do. It’s just a matter of finding the right combination.
This image was rendered in Carrara and I did a little post work in Photoshop Elements. Most of the post work dealt with contrast and it doesn’t look all that much different from the original render.
