Although subtle, I think the sketch-and-toon overlay line renders made a for a cool aesthetic. Hope you enjoyed these recent posts on look dev for medical animation! What 3D techniques are you experimenting with?

Whenever you have a model that will be animated at various levels of camera zoom, it's a good idea to test your material, lights, and render settings at each of these various distances.

Compositing color pass with the sketch and toon passes is so satisfying! The outline groups the anatomy as one subject, the inner detail lines delineate forms, and the hatching invokes classic pen&ink medical illustrations.

More stills from my robotic segment 6 liver resection surgical animation. Color-coded outlines on robotic surgical tools help viewers keep track of them throughout various animation shots. @tvasurg.ca

SS shaders can be time-intensive, so I pulled back on this effect. Managed to cut these render times down for the final video--at the zoom level seen in these images my renders were about 1m30s per frame.

Can you teach an old illustration technique new tricks?

I had this idea for a surgical animation style that looked like pen-and-ink textbook illustrations, so I explored C4D's sketch & toon to composite over my renders.

Here are some test renders for a case I did last year--a Robotic segment 6 liver resection surgical education video.

What rendering challenges are you tackling right now?
