    Is there a way to appy Sketch and Toon to a sky or background object? No matter what render tag I apply she’s just coming out blank.

    thankyou in advance,

    I’m still a C4D noob, but I’ll give you my guess:

    Sketch and toon works on geometry. It knows where the edges are based on the shape and knows how to shade based on the way light would hit the angles on that shape. It isn’t built AFAIK to do an effect to just a bitmap. That would be better done in a compositor.

    However, you can create a cubic volume big and flat and emit particles from it. Then create a few closed splines in the shape of a few clouds dropped into a loft nurbs to create some shapes. Then randomly instance those to your particles. Then either keep those in your scene with sketch and toon tags, or set up a camera and take a picture of them to create a bit map.
