Tutorial 02 - 'Toon' Render
Channel: Jess Dowson
Date: 2022-07-22

The intent of this tutorial is to demonstrate a workflow using the 'toon' render texture in VRay, coupled with Photoshop and Illustrator to provide a particular aesthetic. The tutorial already assumes that you have an understanding of what Rhino, VRay, Photoshop and Illustrator are, and how to post-process a render in Photoshop.

My hope is that any interested party will be able to build upon this workflow, learn from any mistakes you feel that I have made, or poor aesthetic judgement, and improve. I do not intend for people to suddenly feel that the 'image trace' function in Illustrator is a life-saving device. Use it sparingly for effect, for as far as I'm concerned, it should come with the same warning that Voronoi cell generation comes with - too much can be detrimental to your creativity.

I may very well record another video at a later date detailing where I feel I went wrong in this process, what I was wanting to achieve and where I missed the mark.
