supports Sketch and Toon shadows?

[Adam Trachtenberg]

If you got to render settings>effects>sketch and toon>shading, are the illumination and shadow boxes checked?

[Ronny Traufeller]

jes they are, shading was originally “backround”, after i turned it to shading, neither the shadow or the shading was visible. I have to say that i am using sketch style tags, which maybe compete to the render settings, but i also changed the tag to “shading”.

I copied the Tags from a file which has perfect sketch presets. The wierd thing is that nothing happens after turnung shading on ….

Ah, you must have had compositing background turned on in the comp tag. Impossible to say what your new problem is without seeing the scene file. Can you post a stripped down version?

[Ronny Traufeller]

jes, a stripped version is attached.
This one gots shadow, but not the kind of shadow what i was lookin for,
this one is just a solid shape, i would like to have a sketched shadow, consisting of lines. but in the line options are not offering shadow i think.

jes thats it! thanks for reply!

I see what you’re after. There’s no dedicated Sketch line for shadows, but you can enable soft shadows in your light and then check the “Outline Shadow” box in the light’s shadow tab. Adjust the shadow map resolution to change the outline thickness.

In case someone else is looking for a solution:
I had the same problem, and as far as I found out C4D does not deal with shadows or lights when working with a sketch and toon shader, since probably a sketch and toon object has a bit of restrictions on lights and shadows, the only way I found to make a light affect a sketch and toon object is to use the “illumination” section in the “opacity” or in the “color” attributes inside the material options of the sketch and toon shader, and assigning in the “Include lights” tab all the lights you want to influence the material (as you see in this pic: 8145_screenshot.jpg.zip )
