3ds Max Ine Drawing Ink and Paint Shader

PSOFT Pencil+ 4 Features

PSOFT Pencil+ 4 for 3ds Max is a non-photorealistic rendering plugin which can reproduce the advent of pen-and-ink and color pencils drawings as well as animation cels.

• Materials with high level of expressiveness
• Fast and beautiful line drawing

• Unique modifiers
• Powerful render elements output

Materials with a high level of expressiveness.

Pencil+ 4 can reproduce the apartment look of cel shading and the texture of pencil sketches. Information technology provides fine control over shading and enables unique presentations where but specific materials are fatigued to the foreground. It makes it possible to create revolutionary artistic textures.

Nitrous Shader

Pencil+ 4 Materials tin be displayed in existent-time in the Nitrous viewport. Highlights and zones can be reviewed with a quality close to the rendering result.

Material Penetration

With material penetration, materials hidden behind objects can penetrate those objects to be rendered as if they were in front.

Light Intensity Control

Light intensity can be modified for individual materials, providing more detailed control over highlights and shading.

Improved Usability

The user interface is more convenient and the affinity with 3ds Max is increased.

• Enhanced gradation bar editing
• Support for gamma / LUT correction
• Adjustable line set list top
• Display of data in lists
• Switch the display language of the user interface

Material Functionality

Gradation Bar

Edit material colors intuitively using the gradation bar.

Highlight

Make highlights curve forth or expand and contract into a crescent along the shape of the object.

Highlight Design

Command the shape of highlights visually.

Line Related Functions

Configure line cartoon for individual materials.

Gradation Offset

Command gradations using maps. Use this to display darker colors at specific locations.

Lite Colour

Make the color of lights and ambient lighting impact materials.

Shadow Alloy

Set the color of shadows separately from the zone gradation colors.

Stroke Map

Create hatching and rough strokes like those in manus-drawn pictures.

Fast and beautiful line cartoon.

Pencil+ iv Line functionality can be used to create a broad range of richly expressive lines such as uniform lines, lines jutting out of objects, crude sketch lines or lines with width modulation like those found in Japanese manga.

Multithreaded Rendering

The Pencil+ four Line rendering engine now supports multithreading and multiple platforms. Information technology tin can quickly draw lines fifty-fifty for circuitous scenes with thousands of overlapping objects.

Extended Line Settings

New edge detection settings were added.

• "Selected Edge" draws lines on selected polygons and edges.
• "Open Edge" draws lines on open edges of polygons.
• "Merge Group" draws on multiple grouped objects every bit though they were a single object.
• "Self-Intersection" draws lines where an object intersects itself.
• Reduction settings tin can now be copied as instances.

Merge Group

Self-Intersection

Instance of Size Reduction Settings

Line Functionality

Visible Lines

Describe lines using unproblematic settings.

Hidden Lines

Describe edges at the back of objects as in perspective projections.

Brush Details

Create lines that look every bit though they were paw-drawn such as lines with width modulation, dotted lines, wavy lines, etc.

Brush Settings Instance Re-create

Re-create brush settings as instances.

Reduction Settings

Vary line width and transparency based on the altitude to the camera. You can also use the distance to a specified object.

Reflection / Refraction Map

Draw lines for 3ds Max Reflection / Refraction Maps.

Curve Rendering

Spline and NURBS curves tin can be drawn equally outlines, making information technology piece of cake to add lines to 3D models using curves.

Unique modifiers.

Create exaggerated perspectives as if they were hand-fatigued or perform shading computation using an object with a unlike shape.

Pencil+ 4 Perspective Deform

Deform the perspective based on the distance to the camera to create perspectives that look every bit if they were hand-drawn.

Pencil+ 4 Perspective Deform Demo

The crimson bounding box shows the shape before perspective deformation.

Pencil+ 4 Normal Re-create

Use an object with a dissimilar shape to perform shading computations that do non match the shape of the current object's shape.

Powerful render elements output.

Output materials and lines to separate files for compositing. You tin also output lines to EPS format.

Textile Render Elements Output

Output Pencil+ four Materials to render elements. Freely combine reflections, stroke maps and zone alphas to create the output.

Line Render Elements Output

Output Pencil+ 4 Lines to render elements. Freely combine line sets and border types to create the output.

Line Z Depth Output

The Z depth of lines can be output. A common apply is to add depth of field in post-processing using compositing software.

Pencil+ 4 File Output

Output Pencil+ iv Lines to EPS format. We recommend resolution-independent vector images for visualization purposes such as in the fields of architecture, manufacturing and product pattern, as well every bit for web contents, interactive application interfaces, etc.
Sample Files

PLD File Output

Output PLD files containing Pencil+ four Line data. The PLD file format makes it possible to edit Pencil+ four Lines in After Furnishings. Pencil+ iv Line for Afterwards Furnishings is required. (Pencil+ 4 Line for After Effects is sold separately and is but available in Japanese.)

Utilities

Nosotros offer utility plugins that better Pencil+ 4 usability.

Pencil+ 4 Spreadsheet

Batch edit the parameters of Pencil+ 4 Materials and Pencil+ 4 Lines. Pencil+ 4 Spreadsheet provides convenient features such as grid view filters and support for basic arithmetic operations.

PSOFT Pencil+ 4 Bridge
for 3ds Max Planned for Release

Pencil+ 4 Bridge for 3ds Max / Maya is used to write Pencil+ 4 Material and Pencil+ 4 Line settings to file and read them back. The data is managed as a file split from the scene file, so information technology can easily be applied to another scene. Thanks to the Bridge, Pencil+ 4 settings can also be shared betwixt 3ds Max and Maya for greater convenience.

Pencil+ 3 (Ver4 Packet)

This is a Pencil+ three plugin that tin be run with a Pencil+ 4 license. Useful for converting files created with Pencil+ 3.
