Using a Maneki ( ), such artistic look is shown in Figure 2b, where outlines are combined with smooth shading, HDRI environment lighting, area lights, GI and indirect reflections, while Figure 2c shows a typical PBR setup. Outlines can also be combined with physically-based style rendering (PBR) to develop hybrid or photo-surreal rendering (PSR). Maya's "Ramp Shader" is a simple example of "toon" material and is supported by 3Delight for Maya. For more advanced Animé-style features with 3Delight we recommend to look into the Maneki all-in-one solution, by J CUBE Inc. This is usually done by thresholding and stepping the illumination, creating well-defined color regions. In Animé, outlines are often combined to CEL or "toon" shading, a style of non-photoreal rendering (NPR) designed to make 3D computer graphics appear to be more "flat".
