Description:
Example of toon shader for Cycles + OSL.
This includes two OSL scripts:
<ol>
<li>Toon shader using diffuse_toon() and specular_toon() closures</li>
<li>Single sided black surface used for toon edge</li>
</ol>
You can see some test videos in Youtube:

Written May 12, 2013So maybe I just dont get it. There are two scripts. The Toon.osl, and the Edge.osl. How does one utilize both of those to create a simple "Cell Shaded object within blender?
When I opened up the example .blend file it has both in two separate text editor windows and one 3d view, and then the node editor.
I guess im confused on what the apply the "edge.osl" script to? Thanks ahead of time.

Written May 13, 2013I didn't figured out, how he apply the edge texture so the edge becomes dark?

Written June 03, 2013Hi,
The object has 2 materials assigned, one with the toon script and another with the edges script, since the edge script is only affected backfacing, you only see it on the polygons added by the solidifiy modifier.
By the way, these scripts aren't working on the current build : 2.67.1 r57177 the output is totaly black :/

Written June 03, 2013More details : in fact only the toon shader isn't working, the error message is :
ERROR : Closure 'specular_toon' is not supported by the current renderer

Edited June 10, 2013Hi Alesk,
specular_toon() closure has been renamed to glossy_toon() in r56980, so you have to modify the OSL script and re-compile it if using latest trunk build.

Edited June 11, 2013specular_toon() closure became available again in svn r57362, so this .blend file should work with latest trunk build.

Written April 05, 2016specular_toon() was renamed to glossy_toon() (6 comments above) Just rename inside the script and reload inside of the script node.

Written May 03, 2016If you can't get it to work even after renaming specular_toon() to glossy_toon(), follow the directions two paragraphs down at http://www.blendswap.com/questions/view/1705

Written May 04, 2016Not sure if it's just me, but I also had to use CPU rendering rather than GPU rendering. Also make sure that the 'Open Shading Language' box is checked. Guess it's kind of obvious in retrospect.

Written April 02, 2017I've downloaded the blend file, but it doesn't seem to show me the results in Blender 2.78c. Everything's black.
Any ideas?
EDIT: NVM got it working. :)

Written May 15, 2017Hey Tushantin can you tell me what you did in 2.78? I replaced the glossy instead of specular. 2.77a works but still not working in 2.78.

Written April 22, 2019How did you add the second material (outline) over the first (diffuse)?
EDIT: Ah, ok. You just add solidify modifer with inverted normals

Written November 08, 2021It does in 2.93 - Make sure you've enabled Open Shading Language in your render settings under Device: GPU Compute. You should be able to enable even if greyed out.
