Sketch and Toon

This is CINEMA 4D’s Quickstart Tutorial for Sketch and Toon. Sketch and Toon is included in CINEMA 4D

Visualize and Studio. This tutorial will introduce you to some of this renderer’s fantastic creative possibilities.

1. Introduction

Sketch and Toon belongs to the NPR family. This is an acronym for Non-Photorealistic Renderer and simply

means that it’s not the renderer’s intention to generate highly realistic images but to do exactly the opposite:

To generate images that look like they were created using traditional animation techniques. Do you want

your scene to look like a technical blueprint or maybe a pencil sketch? Do you want to give your animated

characters that traditional animation look? No problem for Sketch and Toon!

Sketch and Toon is very easy to operate. For instant results you can fall back on one of the many presets

Sketch and Toon provides. Otherwise you can have a ball with Sketch and Toon’s different settings. You will

quickly realize that Sketch and Toon is a very powerful tool that offers limitless possibilities. You can take

inﬂuence on practically any imaginable parameter. This gives you a cornucopia of render styles and you will

never break the boundaries of Sketch and Toon – we promise! If you want to get a taste of how you can

metamorphose your images just skip ahead to our gallery.
