Rendering

raytraced refractions

Using textures and render settings to create reflections and light refraction within a group of glass Christmas baubles.

maya vector render

Renders using vectors to create a cartoony, cell-shaded feel to a scene. The vector render can then be opened and edited in other vector programs, such as Adobe Illustrator or Flash.

toon shader

Uses colour ramps to provide limited shading as in a cell-shaded cartoon.
