Cel shading or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make 3D computer graphics appear to be flat by using less shading color instead of a shade gradient or tints and shades. A cel shader is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon and/or give the render a characteristic paper-like texture. [1]
There has been an emergence of 2D and 3D game engines for WebGL, [56] such as Unreal Engine 4 and Unity. [57] The Stage3D/Flash-based Away3D high-level library also has a port to WebGL via TypeScript. [25] [58] A more light-weight utility library that provides just the vector and matrix math utilities for shaders is sylvester.js.
Toonz is a 2D animation software program. The base application is currently managed by Dwango as open-source software under the name OpenToonz. [1] An extended commercial variant for professional individuals and studios, Toonz Premium, is being developed and marketed by Digital Video S.p.A. [5] Toonz has been used by studios such as Studio Ghibli [7] and Rough Draft Studios.
As the number of profile and shader types cropped up, Microsoft has switched to use the term "Shader Model" to group a set of profiles found in a generation of GPUs. [9] Cg supports some of the newer profiles up to Shader Model 5.0 as well as translation to glsl or hlsl.
This allows shading to occur only in mid-tones so that edge lines and highlights remain visually prominent. The Gooch shader is typically implemented in two passes: all objects in the scene are first drawn with the "cool to warm" shading, and in the second pass the object’s edges are rendered in black.
This shader works by replacing all light areas of the image with white, and all dark areas with a brightly colored texture. In computer graphics, a shader is a computer program that calculates the appropriate levels of light, darkness, and color during the rendering of a 3D scene—a process known as shading.
An example of bloom in a computer-generated image (from Elephants Dream).The light on the bright background bleeds on the darker areas, such as the walls and the characters.
The Blinn–Phong reflection model, also called the modified Phong reflection model, is a modification developed by Jim Blinn to the Phong reflection model. [1]Blinn–Phong is a shading model used in OpenGL and Direct3D's fixed-function pipeline (before Direct3D 10 and OpenGL 3.1), and is carried out on each vertex as it passes down the graphics pipeline; pixel values between vertices are ...
