  • Sketch & Toon Outline On A Group

    Posted by Serge Khomutoskiy on July 11, 2013 at 3:13 pm

    I am trying to get a thin outline on each object and then a thicker outline on the whole group.

    See the image attached(and the .c4d file), I have spheres grouped into a null and thicker outline applied on the group but it would not show for some reason…


    Any suggestions how to go about it?
    Thanks!

    perfect spheres don’t work (there must be something about the purely mathematical nature of them) but if they are made editable it will work, or you can use disks that are pointed at the camera (if your example is what you are looking for). Use the main Render Settings in S&T for one set of lines and a single Sketch tag on a group with the other thickness – the trick is to set Mix in the Sketch tag’s Main tab to Add.
