Although it's not in-depth process. it's still interesting to watch.

At 13 minutes, things gets really interesting!

Edit: The big thing I love about this is that I can actually understand the few technical stuff! Big props to them for not using overly complicated terms.

I really respect Arc Systems Works for putting in the effort to pioneer this technique. I agree with him that games should put in more research into non-photorealistic artstyles.

It's been my dream to make something similar, but with cartoon graphics, for a game. I even tried doing the same vertex normal trick a few months ago, before I ever watched the video.



Perhaps when I finish my first or second real portfolio piece, I'll go back at this again.

Good luc, in the presentation, he said specifaclly that achieving this with 3ds max was overly diffifult since normals tweaking tools are limited.

between normal thief and edit normal tool it's always seemed pretty easy to me. I'll have to give it a try.

The original thread actually has way more information about what they did than this presentation.

It doesn't even touch on things like the half orthographic camera.
