In this new video tutorial on Cinema 4D, we will see how to get a 2D look from a 3D scene. It’s a fashionable style and widely used in motion design.

If you are looking for a simple and effective way to get this kind of cel-shading render, this tutorial is for you!

We will use the Cellulo shader, which will give us an illustrative solid color rendering. We will tweak its settings to achieve different variants.

We will also see how to hijack the ambient occlusion, to use it in a graphical way.

Personally, this is a technique I love to use, and I hope you enjoy it!

All 3D objects are available in the demo download. The computer is rigged to be able to open and close it easily.
