cycles ink material

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-05-20T08:29:52+00:00

after reading this article from the Blender NPR blog (which stands for Non Photorealistic Rendering)

I wanted to create a similar material using cycles. For the meta balls I used a Fresnell Input and a coloramp to get the outlines of the figure, for the plane I used the wire-frame material from this post

blender curve experiments - curve from mesh

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-05-19T18:00:25+00:00

The curve for this part of my blender curve experiments was generated form an icosphere by pressing alt-c and choosing "curve from mesh"
