#instead of having it be directly behind the model it would be slightly offcenter favoring whichever direction the light source is

Okay but can you get your cel shading outline to vary the line weight in response to the light source
#I'm pretty sure it can be done#might not be able to do it with the usual backface culling outline mesh thing thats usually done which i don't know the name of#might be able to achieve it with like a rimlight or something#instead of having it be directly behind the model it would be slightly offcenter favoring whichever direction the light source is#pretty sure you can link angle dependencies or whatever its called like that#i want to see realtime gameplay that actually looks like traditional media when it isn't moving#show me paint texture in the color fills#show me shadows under the cel and that thing where when only the arm moves its visibly on a separate cel layer#show me the outlines wiggling a little bit or looking like rough uninked xerox process animation#show me the occasional color error that there was no budget to go back and fix#maybe you can fuck with getting the paper wet or torn and have that be rendered realistically. have the stylized stuff react to it#get smudged realistically or whatever#there's stuff you can do now because you can achieve basically anything visually#its a shame most of the infinite money is going into realism instead of like. trying interesting things.#you've been able to get cgi to look like a painting for a while now how long before games figure that shit out#my immediate next thought is also 'is there a way to achieve this with drawings?'#and i wonder how well a character made up of billboarded sprites would hold up to for example a camera rotating around them
