Zero Parades - Look tests

Pushing the proportions for a more hand made feel.

Pseudo PBR with hand painted glossy pass based on the diffuse texture.

Deep shadows painted separately to make the volumes pop.

Brush stroke cards placed in 3d to help break up the edges.

The cards were created using a particle emitter, then refined by hand.
A second uv set is used to sample the projected diffuse paint under each card.

Distorting the direct light pass with a small noise in order to further blend everything together and soften the hard edges.

Another test based on more realistic miniature model, as if the game was a stop motion set.

Cel shaded approach for this test, using camera projection to paint/draw the textures.

Diffuse paint / Line art layers.

Final 2.5D style test, similar to the technique used in Disco.

The diffuse paint-over before any lighting is applied.

Breakdown of the final composite in which light passes have paint filters applied (using Fotosketcher).

Before/after of breaking up the 3d to make the shapes fit the hand-drawn aesthetic.
