Toon Shaders

Will J 215 posts19 Jun 2007Hey guys,
I've been messing around with adding toon shaders to a manga model I made and I've hit a snag. Is it possible to apply color maps to a toon shader? At the moment I can only apply a ramp in one color and I can't find a function that lets me add textures, maybe I missed something? The model would look lovely with a toon shader, and I would like to give it some nice textures, any thoughts?

19 Jun 2007If you are using the maya toon shaders, you can just plug in your color map to the selected ramp color. Just select the color, and right next to the selected color box is a little channel box, click on that, and add your map just like you normally would! You can even keep adding mixed color layers and everything through a series of ramps.

! I'll give that a try later on, sounds easy enough. But first I must make some quick textures in Photoshop 
.
Edit: Just played around with that using some chequer maps. The only way to maintain a color gradient (like the original ramp) was to adjust the color gain for the different tones. Is there an easier way? That said, this way works fine if done carefully I guess.
