Theory

Toon a.k.a cel shading is a non photorealistic rendering technique

Makes the 3D models appears in a style of cartoon, comic, hand-drawing.

Stylized Specular Highlights

Plane white specular highlights with sharp boundaries

Compute the specular reflection term of the Phong shading model


and set a threshold. If greater than the threshold, set the
fragment color to the specular reflection color times the
(unattenuated) color of the light source.

Stylized Diffuse Illumination

The diffuse illumination is stylized, consists of very few colors


(depending on the number of cuts)

Set a threshold for the diffuse reflection term of the Phong


reflection model. For example, when threshold is

0, use the full diffuse color, no unlit color

1, use full unlit color, no diffuse color

0.5, half diffuse, half unlit

Anything in between = a combination of diffuse and unlit

Characteristic Outline

Has outlines of specific color (usually black) along the silhouettes of


the model

The outline is made from the model in question but scaled upwards,
rendered in a single color, and it always shows on top of everything
except the object it is outlining.
