Description I'm not good with explaining things, so, eh... I'll just give the summary...

Everything's modeled in 3dsmax, textures in photoshop, yada yada... They're obvious...
In DBPro (engine) the mesh is positioned and posed with the textures applied to it.
Textures are then converted into the desired colors I want using HLSL.
4-5 cameras are then rendered to get the necessary images needed for image composition.
It uses both the normals and the distance/depth to generate the inks. (via HLSL too) The 2nd normal render is required to create the wiggly/distorted look on the inks...
Everything is finally combined into a single image to be shown in the screen.

(The biggest surprise here is that all of these processes are being done in milliseconds... Oh, technology...)

So, the answer of my recent poll [link] is: "Everything's 3D"

Thank you for answering my poll! My aim here is to make a 3d render look questionable whether it's hand drawn or not... Though, maybe it looks 2d at still image... The hard part is to make a 3d animation look 2d...

Softwares:
Photoshop
3dsmax
DarkBASIC Professional
DarkShader
Notepad?

its nto to hard to make a 3d image look 2d at all what one would so is use a toon shader with no colours other than white eith a black outline and then vectorise the image and colour it in a your perspective will be flawless cos its a 3d image but will be coloured as a 2d image,

let me ask you did how did you animated the light that moves in the first one was it all done in 3ds max.

Great way to show it, and yet, some might not understand just how much work you have to do. (which is a lot).

Well displayed, fantastic end result.

To make 3d animation look hand drawn lower the frame rate a bit. Very effective.

lol so over 3,000+ deviants were wrong about this being 2d/hand drawn and being half 3d...

other than the poll made me question the IQ of deviants, this is really nice
