Whilst Stylized Looks is far more than a simple toon shading system, it sure does render a beautiful toon if you so desire!
Clean Toon with 1 Distant Light
Toon Tips
- Changing the integrator to PxrDirectLighting will result in a sharper toon image
- To achieve a traditional sharper toon render, try using lights such as the PxrDistanceLight and PxrSphereLight
- To reduce noise in the Toon banding, use a PxrDistantLight, turn off bounces (either PxrDirectLighting integrator or 0 for Max Indirect Bounces in PxrPathTracer integrator)
