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
