New features in the non-photorealistic rendering kit for Modo include:
- XToon shader – allows to procedurally mix banding levels and colors based on surface properties
- Surface Flow – a new way to change both NPR screen tiling parameters based on surface distance and angle, and the position of one or more texture locators. This helps increase the illusion that the texture is attached to 3D objects in the scene.
- Gradient channels in the Toon Material – lets you control the level and band positions for specular highlights and mirror reflections
- Improved lighting and reflection control – most of the NPR Shaders now let you mix indirect illumination into the shading amount. The Specular Drawing toggle has been replaced with a mixing level to give you better control of specular highlights, and a companion Reflection Amount control lets you mix in your scene reflections.
- Your shading can now be rendered with Crayon or Scratch mode. Crayon mode uses the surface diffuse color in place of the shader’s ink color. Scratch mode used the final rendered color of the surface as the ink color.
