NPR shading    Tool: ATI Rendermonkey Language: HLSL Concept:   These technique takes me 5 passes to finish it. And some passes need to be improved. Pass 0: Cel shading Pass 1: Color distortion Pass 2: Normal Pass 3: image based ink shading Pass 4: Combination (Final) As you can see, the technique includes three common shading, Cel, Color Distortion, and normal based ink. The feature is the color distortion: The...

Tone Shader

Tone Shading: Tool: ATI Rendermonkey Language: HLSL Concept:   Basically, this technique can be done by two pass. First, I create a basic infinite light shading to render to texture. The rendertarget uses the alpha to store the shading result. In the final pass, I use a 2D texture which is my "tone" map to lerp the last pass result. Done!  Key Code: pass0: float4 ps_main(float3 pos : TEXCOORD1, float3 nrm : TEXCOORD2) : COLOR {   ...

Chinese Watercolor Shader Implementation (HLSL)

Tool : ATI Rendermonkey Language: HLSL Concept: First, I use 3D-Based edge detection. Basically, all I need is the dot production of view-to-vertex vector and the vertex normal. Then, if the dot production is bigger than x (x can be thought as the ink width or the angle between the normal and view vector), I draw black texture on it. If the dot production smaller than x, I draw another texture on it. Key Code: VS_OUTPUT vs_main( VS_INPUT...
