Toon Shaded Shotgun!

AzzaMat · Feb 2013

so I saw this concept on the Concept art for 3D Artists thread and I decided to give it a go! This was the initial concept

This is what I ended up with. It still needs a little bit more work, especially the wraps where the handle is but it's at a stage where I'm happy to post it.

For any of you who want the shader flow-graph

I think it gives a pretty nice end result =D Enjoy

Very cool, I'd say you could go a bit darker with everything, what I like most about the concept is the color. Yours is a bit too light in my opinion.

Why is there no outline on the handle like the rest of the model? Cool stuff nonetheless!

AzzaMat · Feb 2013

J0NNYquid Thats an easy change I can just change my clamp value and up my saturation.

Thats one of the things that needs some work,its using an alpha mask but if I put in the black outline it screws the silhouette =/ Im gonna thicken the lines add a normal at some point to see if that helps.

Thanks for the input =D

Ok cool, it might be enough to just up the thickness of the outline? Not sure, sounds like you can swap in/out ideas pretty quickly with that shader so give it a shot.

awesome man, looking forward to seeing an update with this!

Awesome dude . and thanks for sharing the material

r3spawn · Feb 2013

hey, glad my thread is being used in the way I intended it to be used. The gun looks great and the material is really good except for one thing; Like the others said, it needs to be darker, especially the handle!

RogerP · Feb 2013

this looks great!!!

AzzaMat · Feb 2013

Thanks a lot for posting it, there is a lot of great concept stuff on there to draw from.

Also I darkened the shadows a bit. Just added a power of (set to 5) between the constant clamp and the divide in the lighting setup. Gives me a lot more control over the shadow darkness

Will try and find some time to fix the shotgun =D

Thanks guys

Looks awesome. Wish I could understand what any of that UDK shader stuff means lol.

Daft.Eng · Feb 2013

This is crazy cool, you're pretty much nailing that concept spot on, nice work!

ljsketch · Feb 2013

yeah, spot on to the concept. I had to look twice to make sure there was a model posted. I'd like to understand those shaders in UDK also...at some point in my life.

KennyTies · Feb 2013

Hey, this is great. Also thank you for posting your shader info. I have been trying to figure out a toon shader in udk.

sipher3325 · Feb 2013

Excellent stuff.

AzzaMat · Feb 2013

Hey guys, as a few of you expressed an interest in learning how the shader worked. So I did a little video that goes over each bit step by step and I do my best to explain what is happening and why. I hope you find it useful.

Also I realise that I said my concept in the video, its not mine, I don't even know who did the concept.

Sparkwire · Feb 2013

its an early concept for TF2, by valve

Ehsan Gamer · Feb 2013

Thanks for video AzzaMat

AzzaMat · Feb 2013
