Idea: how to make 3-d look hand-drawn.

A more hybrid, gradient-shaded style has become quite popular nowdays, though, but that’s (mostly) beside the point.
E.g.-

Now, characters aren’t the idea that came to me. That would be backgrounds.

If you watch any of the Bakemonogatari series, you’ll quickly notice how the buildings and cars and… pretty much everything that isn’t a person has the same “perfect” or “real” sort of gradient shading (like in the picture the car above) Hence, “Conspicuous CG”.

No here’s my idea: When the 3-D articles/location or “sets” are rendered-

1. They are rendered without their bordering lines being removed

—The outline of each face (flat surface) would still be present, paralleling the way that hand-drawn locations/cars/items/building in anime usually have borders.

2. An effect would be placed on each face that finds the median shade of the gradient that would by default be applied to that face.

In other words… it would have lines and each side would have one solid color.
