Arnold Tutorial | Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Cartoon Material Shadows Section
In this article, Fox Renderfarm, a renowned Arnold render farm and cloud rendering service provider in the computer graphics business, will present an Arnold tutorial for the Cartoon Material Shadows Section of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
The Process and Effect of the Shadows Section
Duplicate the entire node network used for the MidTone.
Change the aiToon node from MidTones to Shadows and reapply it to render the model.
Click on the ramp node, then delete one of the three originally inside to make it two, and adjust the display position of the white area slightly.
Assign the final aiMixShader to the model and render.
Go back to the ramp4 node, and change the Type from Circular Ramp to V Ramp. You can see that the small dots have been stretched.
Click on the aiRange node again, change Output Min to 0, and Output Max to 0.621 (or any other value).
You can also change the orientation of this texture by adjusting the Rotate UV parameter in the place2dTexture node.
This concludes the main part of the tutorial. I hope you found it useful. To enhance the rendering performance of Arnold, you may consider using cloud rendering services, such as Fox Renderfarm, to accelerate the rendering of your project.
