cel-shade


cel-shading is a recently popularized form of graphics arts. cel-shading has been used in the animation field probably years before it was a possibility in the video game field. in fact, a lot of the modern day j-panese animation is cel-shaded at some point or another (such as a 360 spin scene where it’s hard to draw each angle of a character).

cel-shading in the video game industry has only appeared in a few non-animation based games, such as jet grind radio, rez, and the legend of zelda: wind waker. there are two advantages to cel-shading:

1. better fps. a lot of the time there’s a lack of complex texture. though the lighting is very stressed, the gpu doesn’t have to process a lot of high vram using textures.

2. more of a animated look. for cases when you want a cartoon looking scene rather than a realistic one, and when flat shading just doesn’t look right.
