Toon Specular RE

This page provides information about the Toon Specular Render Element.

Overview

The Toon Specular Render Element is an image that stores Toon Specular reflection (highlights) information calculated from the Toon Material and Toon Material Node.

The brighter the area, the more Toon highlight reflection the object exhibits in the render. Toon Specular highlights are colored if the Reflection Color parameter of a material is colored.

The Toon Specular RE is included in the Specular RE. It can be subtracted from the main back-to-beauty composite, graded, and added back in. See the Toon Specular RE#example.
