@chjara thanks, i still need to tune the color palette and i'm not that convinced about that building at the background

@djsumdog yes, this is from a previous version of the scene

@hideki That's badass!

@djsumdog thanks! it's the first time i try this style on blender and i'm sure there are a lot of bad stuff going on but we'll get there.

@Chazcon it ramps up a bit the render time because of the outlines and had to simplify the hell out of it but it's a nice addition i guess.

@hideki like some columns are wider than others

@hideki But I love the concept

@aetios thanks! You mean the stroke width? i'll need to check if there are something misconfigured on the stroke settings maybe it is different for some objects. If you can point me to a place where this is more evident it would be good.

@hideki

@hideki very apparent in this stepped line

@aetios Oooh i see! i wonder if that gets fxxed up when i do the scaling... thanks for noting gotta see if there's a better way to scale up the renders.

@hideki cheers, getting that right will probably make it feel a lot more clean and focused.

@hideki @aetios Do you read Japanese? I'm wondering if the writing is actually readable or if the pixellisation makes it difficult to read.

@JordiGH @aetios i guess it's one of those things that suck of this render, actually the text is readable but the pixellation ruins everything, gotta change the kanjis with some heavier versions

@aetios @hideki that's just non-integer nearest scaling.

@hj @hideki well yeah but like still should probably figure out in the settings

@aetios @hideki (same applies to vertical grid)

looks to me that picture was rendered at low-res and then upscaled to certain resolution instead of scaling it by 2x 3x 4x etc, so solution would be to change target resolution? No idea how it's accomplished and what the settings are tho.

@crunklord420 yeah some things would probably look better with the strok on the outside of the mesh rather on the center... the pipes and the seats on the ramen shop maybe.

As for the appearance that is 3D-ish yea, i'm aware of that, a more in-depth study of what makes pixel art look pixell-y must be made, but i'm convinced that it's just matter of colors.

@nonetrix it's basically add toon shaders to everything + render in low res

@hideki I didn't know you could make something like that damn looks hand made

@nonetrix @hideki the bike and delorean were major parts in his other works. i assume the same goes for other props in the picture. basically, i assume that the whole scene is in 3d, but the resulting picture was ran through some special filters to give everything black outlines and then pixelize the image.

@deviant @nonetrix the delorean yes, the bike no, i actually made a simple one for this scene, this is a mommy bike which are more common in japan than mountain bikes like the previous one.
