Weekend Contest: Cel-Shaded
James Campbell won last weekend’s contest with his entry ‘Close Encounters of the Pork Kind‘. He earned the honor of choosing this weekend’s topic and decided on ‘Cel Shaded’. The game is on!
James writes:Having grown up in an era of Saturday morning cartoons it is hard to not be a fan of 2D animation. So my choice for this weekends contest is “Cel Shaded “. I was feeling in the zone today so here is a image to demonstrate the toon power bottled up in Blender. I look forward to the entries.
Post your work below (attach an image), and vote for your winner. The winner will get a post on monday, and will get to pick next weekend’s contest theme. Have fun!
OH man I really want to do this one …

A little mix of nonrealistic and physically-based shaders. It took a while to get the outlines to show up properly with reflections, DoF, etc. but I’m happy with the result.
Fighter Plane
I used Gimp for motion blur.

and the blender realtime viewport shading
I love Moebius. For me he was the best sci-fi comic artist.
I wonder how you make that crosshatch. well done!
Merci!
those crosshatches are painted directly on the model’s blank texture with a graphic tablet.
This is a bad boy!
I really enjoy the weekend-contests. Keep them coming!
I really enjoyed this one! Funny expression on his face. Made me laugh :) What kind of creature is this? Bacteria? Sponge? Or just pure imagination? :)
Thank you Thomas! Glad you like it =) This is actually a virus. These guys have been bugging me for several weeks now. Can’t seem to get them out of my body…so I made one :P
Haha. If you can’t get rid of them, befriend them. :) Positive thinking is at good help for boosting the immune system. Take care and get well :).
test from current project nothing fancy
damn compression
I wish there was more light in this. I had to take it into photoshop and blow the levels up really high to see what was going on. It looks very well done when you can see it.
trying to no do dark and moody graphic novel type render may my monitor and v/card settings betray the visibility on my end, how’s this….would appreciate a heads up on how it looks now
http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad68/mcbeth316/37B_zpsd6552f15.png
on my netbook they l ook bright to almost washed out even the first one wow! :(
definitely doesn’t play nice with some video card settings, I tend to leave brightness low and raise gamma and contrast……….weird….anyways…………to those that say it clearly hope u like it
I first saw thisthis one on my tablet where it was a bit to dark, indeed. Later on I had a look at it from my PC where it looked very good. Think I have the same problem as you. Been fiddling around with my screen settings, but it never occured to me it could bebe the graphics card settings. You won’t by chance be blending on a linux system like I do? Anyway, liked your image!:)
nah I am on windows……….I got this looking really convincing as 2d so I am a bit disappointed that depending on your card settings you wont get to see what I see :(………………..a new issue to work out now
We learn as we go… I have made that mistake several times myself. This time I checked my image on several different displays before posting. Hopefully I got it right. To bad that your image almost disappeared in the darkness… It really is very good when the screen brightness is raised a notch :)
apparently the effect depends on gamma being primarily used to brighten screens like I do…..gonna have to change my card settings to something more “conventional” and fiddle with the nodes in the blender side of things to see what happens
I stand corrected on there being a gamma node, gonna start trying to make this vcard agostic
Oh! Didn’t see you posting there. :)
can’t find a way around the brightness issue………..added some nodes that made the image look even better, if video brightness is higher than contrast or gamma image is between “not as good” to very bad…..gonna poke around some more
Sorry about the late answer.. Are you using several render layers? I don’t know your light setup, but is it possible that one or more light sources can have been left out? How does it look if you put your RenderLayers node (with your character in) directly into the Composite output node. I would be happy to see your finished render if or when you figure it out. :)
I think you’re on to something. I did just adjust the gamma setting on my laptop and got a displaydisplay looking much closer to that of my small screen devices and my TV’s. Actually there is a compositing node for gamma correctioncorrection :)
My main workstation broke recently and to try scratch my creative itch I have been experimenting with NPR.
This one makes me happy :) It does a great job of conveying the mood of summertime and drinking lemonade.
great style!
Made in Blender. Rendered in Cycles + Freestyle.

Very nice work.
Thank you.
I love it, nice model ;)
Rendered in Blender Cycles. Image is called, “One of These Things is Not Like the Others”.
Its the bananas! The only thing that isn’t round!
It’s the table! ..not for eating!
Here is my entry, “Dawn of the Adventure.” I had a lot of fun making it! Enjoy!
So, having never done Cel Shading before, I have to say, this style was actually an incredible amount of fun to work in. I ended up using this method http://www.blendernation.com/2013/06/17/cycles-toon-shading-tutorial/ to do my shading with a few modifications to get what I was looking for. Anyways I think I’ll be super creative and call this one “Still Life of a Vase”
I really like the simplicity of this one. The way the vase is offset creates a nice visual pull into the image. Great work! =)
Very good work. Nice and relaxing. I see you used high poly meshes this time :-)
Thanks :) And yeah, still very simple models though.
Not one, but three :P
Hope you like it ;)
This one really sends me back to my childhood watching cartoons on Saturday mornings (namely Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!). Nice piece!
Haha! Thank you ;)
This is my entry. hope you like it.
Blender 2.69 + freestyle. Background and cloud is hand painted
Really love the poetry behind the scene.
Nice univers.
congratulation.
thank you :)
Bart: Quite a few pictures are posted more than once to try to get it “just right”, and it’s splitting the votes in strange ways. Are these reposts going to make the vote counting problematic?
No, I think I’m capable of that kind of advanced math :)
lol, sorry for the mistake again! shame on me.
So much for open-ended questions I guess! I think I was trying to express some curiosity about what the tallying convention is going to be… add all the votes together over all versions voted on, choose the one with the greatest number of votes and discard the rest… take the mean average of them all?
Ah, I misunderstood! If the versions are sufficiently close to each other I’ll just add the number of votes together. If they are very different I’ll just use et number of votes on the most recent version. Does that answer your question?
Just be careful not to double-count votes from the same logged-in user when adding together. Guest votes being anonymous could pose a dilemma, but it’s all academic anyway if there is a runaway winner. :)
Yeah, people can always game any system of course. I’ll use a bit of common sense as well ;-)
As you can seen. I had little problems to post my pics …
Some of them were published as a guest, so I’ve just republished after being connected.
Sorry.
Don’t worry about it :)
This my entry, a fan art done recently which from part of my personal project can be found from the link below

i’m new here.
this is my test for npr with cycles.
Very nicely composed scene.
This’s my first post :D Its name is “Osito tenebrosito” (Pretty Little Scary Bear, or something like that). rendered with Blender Internal and Freestyle.

I’m curious as to what automatic postproduction is? Also really cute character.
Automatic Posproductoin = use one of the default filters from Windows 8.1’s photo App… and thx ^^

Gorgeous color palette.
Here’s my cel-shaded pirate sub-marine. Hope you enjoy it :). It’s just astonishing to see how many brilliant and unique pieces there are in here this weekend! :)
Fantastic use of lighting!
Thank you alot! :) I played around with a lot of lights before I got satisfied.
Newly-finished S13-type robots from Gunnerkrigg Court on top of an image from a previous Gunnerkrigg Court fan project (it had lines but done with Edge, which my current blender doesn’t have).
Again, I heard about this contest too late. Here is a render using my Cycles+Compositor technique, anyway. Cheers.
Late or not, that is a beautiful render! :) Thank you for your toon shading tutorial at your blog http://www.minimaexpresion.es. I used it as reference for my render and I would guess several others in here did as well! :)
Hey, thanks a lot for the nice comment! :) It’s great to know that my tutorial helped other entries here. :) I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it, but indeed it seems so. :D
Indeed, I have the same gratitude :)
You’re welcome. :)
Here’s my entry.
