Pencil+ 2, a Non Photo Realistic ( NPR ) shader plug-in for 3ds Max, creates color pencil painted stroke expressions. The plug-in achieves well designed pen drawings and flat cell paintings.

NFR rendering reminds you of manga and animated characters. Pencil+ 2 provides original 3d expressions you often see in Japanese manga, and also produces NFR simple sides and lines, so that the plug-in is useful for creating diagrams and architectural images. It may worth in scenes of professional graphical design works as a visualization tool.

Line drawing is one of important elements for NFR rendering. Pencil+ 2 performs well in a variety way. The plug-in renders lines of intersections between objects at high speed, and detail settings for hidden lines are available. It also draws technical illustration, and creates animated images with fine adjustment of line thickness using texture mapping.

It may take you much time to get fine results with unfriendly functional designs of other 3D application interfaces. Pencil+ 2 has a graphical interface which is easily handled, so that designers feel no stress to treat it. And also, line results will be interactively given to make your working time shorter.
