PSOFT Pencil+ 4.2.6

PSOFT Pencil+ for 3ds Max is a non-photorealistic rendering plugin designed to recreate the look of pen and ink drawings, colored pencil sketches, and animated cels in Autodesk 3ds Max. The latest version, Pencil+ 4, offers advanced features for creating artistic textures and cel shading effects with fine control over shadows, highlights, and line rendering.

Key features of PSOFT Pencil+ 4 for 3ds Max:

• Reproduce the look of flat cel shading and pencil sketch textures with detailed control over shadows and highlights.
• Real-time rendering of Pencil+ materials in the Nitrous viewport, allowing artists to preview highlights and shadows close to the final render.
• Allow materials hidden behind other objects to render as if they were in front, creating unique visual effects.
• Change the light intensity on individual materials for more nuanced lighting effects.
• Support for hidden and visible line drawing, detailed brush settings textures, contour animations, and new edge detection options.
• Materials and contours can be exported as separate files for compositing; contours can also be exported in EPS format.
• Includes handy plugins like Pencil+ 4 Bridge to share materials and contour settings between 3ds Max and other host applications like Maya, Unity, and Blender.
• Enhances usability with features like gradient bar editing, gamma/LUT correction support, adjustable contour set list height, and multilingual interface options.
