Toon examples

You can import example files of toon line and shading effects. Modify these files to customize the toon styles, use them as learning tools to understand how to create your own toon styles, or use them simply for ideas.

To import a toon example into a scene

1. In the Rendering menu set, select Toon > Get Toon Example. The Visor window opens to the Toon Examples tab.
2. Right-click the desired Toon example and select Import. Autodesk^® Maya^® imports the pfxToon line nodes, shaders and surfaces into your scene.

   The Notes section at the bottom of the Attribute Editor provides information about the Toon example, pointing out the key aspects of its construction.
