Here's the pretty-much-final version of the main character of my next IRTC
Anim. I used some pretty advanced rendering techniques to get this result.
For instance, no lights were used to save time. That's right. No lights.
Instead, I used a slope texture *over* the original texture. This allowed
me to smooth the lines between cells. It also decreased the render time
from 3 minutes to 2. Also, I eliminated Anti-Aliasing, cutting the R-T in
half again. All in all, not a bad job, eh?
Comments, flames, welcome.

Hey, that's a pretty interesting way to do things. Pretty cool. That has a
nice hand drawn/hand colored quality to it. I'm anxious to see how the guy
moves in the anim.
now for the flames... er, um. i can't think of any.

Looks great. You wouldn't think that this was done with POV.

No, not at all. Actually a stunning one. But then you already knew

That looks really good! You wouldn't say it was rendered, it's just like
a drawing. How did you make those contour lines? And how do you prevent
an image without lights to become completely black?

Check out the animation in p.b.a. That'll explain some of how he looks
animated. (and lip synced...)
If you really want it, I'll post another anim of a longer sentence... (Sir
Breakwind wishes you good day...)
By the way, his name is now Neville Hogwire. No more Breakwind.

The model has a reletively high ambient. (.5) and a bright slope texture on
top to give highlighting.
The conour lines were made with the MegaPov find_edges post_process filter.
The settings were:
find_edges{1,.075,.5,1,10,rgb .1}
I think. Pretty close, anyway.

Oddly enough that was my first thought, but then an inner voice told
me it was behind the camera so it didn't matter.
Maybe I should learn to ignore my inner voice. Last time it told me to
turn around and look after a nice pair of legs (or a pair of nice
legs) and I almost smashed my bike in the truck in front of me. It
hates me, I'm telling you.
Seriously now, the trick is still ingenious. Did you make it up
yourself?

Don't listen to the little voice. The one that tells you to look a nice
legs. Listen to the one that tells you not to. :) Trust me, you'll do well

Well, I gotta give some of the credit to Mr Huff. In a discussion about
making cartoon shaders he mentions something about the diffuse and ambient
of a surface being controled by a color_map (In refrence to a 3DSMax
cartoon picture I had posted earlier..). I got to thinking, how to do that
in Povray? My normal response to such problems is to run through the
pattern types.
Bozo...nah...wrinkles...nope...gradient...maybe....slope...*DING*. Behold
- an answer looking for a question!

I use spline{} statements. To voice sync, I load up DDClip, and the .wav
file. Set the framerate, and look at whan the sounds are produced. Then I
plug in the frame number and how open and wide the mouth should be for that
sound. (My shiny-dandy mirror comes in handy for this...) For instance:
#declare Spline1 = //Mouth
spline {
cubic_spline
//"I just can't understand this stuff."
//frame rate = 20fps
000,0
002,0
004,0
006,0
008,0
010,0
012,1/2
013,1/8
014,0
016,1/4
017,0
018,0
021,1/3
023,0
024,1/3
026,1/5
027,1/4
030,0
033,1/4
036,1/7
037,1/5
040,1/7
041,1/6
042,1/2
045,0
047,0
049,0
051,0
053,0
055,0
057,0
058,0
}
//In this case, 1 is completely open...
I then use this:
#declare MouthOpen = 0+Spline1(clock*120).x
to declare the lips. This can be used to comple any number of frames.
To see the end result, go to p.b.a. There's a anim posted there of the
character saying, "Hello, there....fine day for it."
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the explanation!
However, I was also thinking of how you animate the body.
I have not seen his body animated (yet?), but if it is animatable, which
techniques do you use? Forward or inverse kinematics - or something else?
