And toony it is!

Just yesterday I posted about having to create my models in a much more stylized, cartoony way… so here’s an update on the cart from yesterday’s post:

Looks much better, no? I went ahead a redid the whole thing, this time aiming for a stylized look from the ground up. At first I tried to simply render the old model using toon shaders, however that didn’t turn out satisfactory at all, as there’s much more to the cartoon look than just slapping any ol’ toon shader on whatever model you have.

For a while I had my doubts that 3D cel shading could produce the look I was hoping to achieve, but seeing the result on this cart I now feel confident that the upcoming (more difficult) character models will also turn out fine.
