It is somewhat recent, appearing from around the beginning of the twenty-first century. Cel-shading is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon. This information contains facts about what cel shaded is therefore it is relevant to me as I am using cel shaded and the way it is explained kind of answers why I am using it along with the other information I have provided.Ĭel shading or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic renderingdesigned to make 3-D computer graphics appear to be flat by using less shading color instead of a shade gradient or tints and shades. The term “cel-shading” is popularly used to refer to the application of this “ink” outlining process in animation and games, although originally the term referred to the shading technique regardless of whether the outline was applied. The result is that the object is drawn with a black outline and interior contour lines. Finally, the image is composited via Z-buffering, as the back-faces always lie deeper in the scene than the front-faces. After drawing the outline, back-face culling is set back to normal to draw the shading and optional textures of the object. Alternatively, back-faces may be rendered solid-filled, with their vertices translated along their vertex normals in a vertex shader. To dilate the silhouette, these back faces may be drawn in wireframe multiple times with slight changes in translation. Back face culling is inverted and the back-facing triangles are drawn in black.

One popular method is to first render a black outline, slightly larger than the object itself. Conventional (smooth) lighting values are calculated for each pixel and then quantised to a small number of discrete shades to create the characteristic flat look – where the shadows and highlights appear more like blocks of colour rather than mixed in a smooth way.īlack “ink” outlines and contour lines can be created using a variety of methods. Where cel-shading differs from conventional rendering is in its non-photorealistic illumination model. The cel-shading process starts with a typical 3D model. State of Decay uses some photorealism mixed with cel shaded, however I mainly used the inventory system and statistics as inspiration for my game.Ĭel shaded can also be used to create a unique and dynamic comic book feel to a game which can provide an immersive experience for the player. I plan to make my game just like these games as they were very successful and are very fun.

The graphic style I am using for my game is cell-shaded as I looked at popular games of my genre and they used cel-shaded, therefore this seemed like an obvious choice for my game.ĭeadlight and State of Decay, deadlight is a 2D side scroller with an abstract and cel shaded look to it.
