Toon Button (Cont'd)

Hey everyone, I want to show another example of a game that has made good use of the toon button feature.

The image you see on the left is from DragonQuest VIII. A very popular game that came out for the Playstation 2 console last year. Oddly enough, the characters on this game were created by the same artists that made the characters in the previous game I posted on this blog.

The one major difference between the two modeling types, is the thickness of the line that outlines the characters he created. The toon button on Maya allows you to control the thickness of the black line border. This is a great tool for making models that come from previous drawings that deal with the Anime or Manga styles. Texture can go along way at making a low poly figure look real complex even with the use of the toon button.

If you want to check out more screenshots of the game, check out the galleries here: http://media.ps2.gamespy.com/media/496/496303/img_2214371.html

Later~
