Cel shading?

#1 What about cel-shading?
It is a special effect from the use of Shaders. to create a cartoon look.

Are you able to make a game faster using this effect?
Not necessarily.

I mean, will the Tribes 2 engine when cel shaded look just as good as Doom 3 when cel shaded?
Doom 3 doesn't use cell shading, they used a shading technique called normal Mapping, and yes it can look as amazing as Doom 3 does.

I recommend reading up on shaders, they are the wave of the future.

ps. I also recommend taking the time to reread and edit your posts, I was rather confuse what exactly you were asking.

#2 You should post it more clearly and if you look closely you did ask that question:)

#3 For the "will game engine x look as good as game engine y" question, look at Tenebrae Quake. It's a heavily modified Quake engine.

No, I asked:

"I mean, will the Tribes 2 engine when cel shaded look just as good as Doom 3 when cel shaded?"

I'm not asking if one engine looks better to the other, I'm asking Tribes 2 simply cel shaded would look as good or worse than Doom 3 cel shaded.

#6 Answer: It depends on the artist and rendering method implemented in the engine code.

and I clarified Doom doesn't use cell shading

What you are probably thinking is "cell shading" is Doom 3's use of Normal Mapping.

#8 No...you still don't understand what I"m saying. I'm saying it as in IF Doom 3 was cel shaded. I know it isn't currently.

#9 That is much to Hypothetical.

But IF they did use it, AND you used the same shader program, AND you had the same shader constants ( hooks from the engine exposed to the shaders)

Then Yes it would =)

Side note IF you get the shader engine you'll be happy to know someone has already submitted a cell shading shader

#10 Heh. Thanks. Good answers.

#11 Well, doom3 has been modified with cell shading - doom3.filefront.com/file/Cel_Shader_Mod;29234 but this mod is very basic atm.
