I'm back! Just a quick video on how I made my animation look a little more 2D/Anime and helped the shading/look to match the style of my animation for the January AnimChallenge, totally in viewport in Maya, real-time, no compositing, or even lights, just a playblast straight out of Maya.

This is definitely for Animators who just like to focus on the animation and want something quick and dirty to get a result that looks a little better than a default playblast!

Hope it helps! Subscribe for more Animation stuff!
