If you want more grass, turn up the Rreview Density percentage. By default only the forest is previewed at 100%. Filament uses the previews.

 Thanks for that tip. I have just wondered why the grass is so sparse in filatoon.

Decided to make my way towards attempting different styles with filatoon. I'm so loving how easy and flexible it is, especially thanks to all the helpful tips and insights in this thread. I used 3Diva's tip on transmapped hair and shadows in this one. By increasing the Shadow Map Size in filament's draw settings>environment to even just 2048, the shadows smooth out a lot.

That is just fabulous!

@Artini -- great renders using filament. Give Ultrascenery a much broader approach.

I'm so excited about Filatoon! I'm planning on using it for my comic work. Here's the result of an experiment I'm doing with the Filatoon settings and the Filament Draw Options. This is a Filament render with zero post-work:

 

Is anyone else exploring Filatoon? One of my favorite parts is that it renders just about instantly - in about 1 second, even on my older machine! And what you see in the viewport is what you get! So cool!

Will these settings be included in your new product?

Yes, they are included. :)

Looking like an instabuy :)

Hi, I'm using Vikcy 9 and I think something doesnt right for the toon shaders. Any advise?

Is this Filament? Haven't tried it yet, but that looks like how I imagine Filatoon shaders might render in Iray

I have not been using daz much lately, so I am kinda out of the loop with what's new. So, where is this filatoon shader found in daz?

Please take a look at the threads dedicated to FilaToon:

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/704951/anime-toons-and-filatoon-shader-q-a#latest

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/704931/filatoon-cell-shaded-rendering-with-filament#latest

There is quite a different approach to rendering, but I like non realistic rendering (NPR) very much

and the speed of rendering in FilaToon (almost instant) is great on my computer.

I like also iray rendering, but excessive render times and unable to put more than 2 Genesis 9 or 8

in the scene (so only CPU rendering) is a very limiting factor for me.

Looks fantastic, @3Diva! The contrast between the smooth, flat look of the figure and the moire-like white pattern on the background was a clever way to create some separation between the 2. Very cool - cheers!

Thank you, Greg! If I remember correctly the background and magic FX are from Jepe's Z-Bundle https://www.daz3d.com/jepe-s-z-bundle-ii I THINK it was probably from the CosmicZ pack: https://www.daz3d.com/jepe-s-cosmicz

Have you guys had a chance to check out Filatoon? I'm having a blast with it!

Oh my word that looks amazing.  How much tweaking did you have to do to that?

Thank you. It took a LOT of tweaking and experimenting of both the shaders as well as the Filament Draw Options settings. I'm about to submit a product to Daz3D though that has the presets (shader presets and scene settings presets). The PAs got the shaders early and, sadly, I was out of town and away from my computer so couldn't get the product made and submitted before the release of Filatoon, but I'm hoping to get it submitted to Daz3D shortly. I'm working on a tutorial to go with it.

Please please please

The  XI Anime Convenience Store
  is a lot of fun, with some nice realistic Asian groceries Unfortunately, it's pretty unwieldy to use because you have to view it in filament and seems a bit bigger than normal. The results are nice though lots of good items to flesh out your shopping scenes.

Ahhh I see - Recieve Shadows, that makes a HUGE difference in scenes like this. Thank you!

@3Diva You can also enable shadows for the lights, here an example using the distant light.  Unfortunately you can't adjust Intensity and Softness, but hopefully that will come later.

Oh cool! That is good information - thank you! I played around with it and was able to get rid of some of the pixelation of the shadows by upping the Sub Divide of the shadow object as well as adjusting the "shadows" settings in the Filament Draw Options node. :) Thank you for the great tip!

Looks great in Filatoon. Tried it myself, had to remove the cutout opacity on the cloth since Filament didn't like it, but the outfit toons really well after that.

Which version of DS are you using?

I can't find half the setting you're talking about for filament draw options.

 

Latest public beta.
