When enabled, an outline will be drawn around the silhouette of objects. If both the Color option
and the Outline option are disabled, all you will see is the background color. With Color enabled, the
outline will bring out the individual objects and give them a cartoon-like feel.
Illumination
This option is available when Color is enabled.
If this option is enabled, the shading of objects will be affected by the illumination. Shadows will also
be rendered cartoon-style. If Illumination is disabled, the average color value of the top texture layer
(the right-most texture in the Object manager) will be used to render the objects. As a result, each
object has a monotone color. Also, shadows will not be rendered with the option disabled.
Edges
If this option is enabled, all polygon edges will be outlined in black, creating a shaded wireframe feel.
You can change the color of the edges using Edge Color.
Edge Color
Use this to change the color used by Outline and Edges — even if the Color option is disabled.
Background Color
This setting changes the background color provided that Color is disabled. When Color is enabled,
the option has no effect.
Quantize, Steps
From left to right: Quantize enabled and Steps set to 3, 7 and 20.
To render the cartoon effect with ‘color steps’, enable the Quantize option and set steps to the number
of color steps.
