Hey all,

Though I've been quite busy lately, I got a chance this evening to do some
Pov stuff, and I thought that I would try out the method that H.E. Day
(thanks H.E., a great technique) posted for getting CEL-esque renders. I
decided to try it out on Tintin's Moon rocket (a simple, geometric and
already a cartoon shape, that uses bright colours). So here it is. I
rendered at 1024x768, so the border lines are more visible than they appear
here.

Oh, and I used a negative light (my first one!) to get the dark colours
around the far side o the ship.

Very nice!  One note, you might want to increase the line_width to 1.125 or
some such.  The lines don't seem to be very noticeable.

I thought you had siad in your post that if the line thickness was set to
anything over one that you got these big thick lines? I tried it and I did
(they were far too thick, and I only used 2). Did you find a work around for
this problem?

Alos I noticed that if I try to render my scene in 1600x1200, MegaPov
crashes when it tries to apply the filter. A bug?

Nice start.  By negative light do you mean the dark bit underneath the
ship, it looks cool, I'm trying to think of ways to use it in my 
current scene.

Yes, I was speaking in the sense of a 320x240 animation.  Basically, I was
recommending that you use the next largest line width: 1.01. (with a sharpness
of 8 this can look really good)

Good work. Want to see Tintin, Milou et Capitan Haddock modeled with POV
ray <g>.

style. His drawings are almost absolutely flat. And the rocket is too
'fat'.
But IMHO the black outlines are O.K. if compared to the drawings of
