In the latest Blender official version: 2.67, Freestyle NPR Rendering made it into Blender official builds (it was only available in test and experimental builds for a long time before). It works with Blender Internal Render and it allows us to create lines in the place of edges, contours, silouethes, etc.
This helps a lot creating 2D artistic renderings imitating drawings, cartoon effects, cell-shading… even create an image that looks like a blueprint from a 3D model. This last one is what we’re gonna do in this tutorial π

Is it possible to render with colors? That sketchy edges + colors inside with some amount error like colors going outside shapes (I wan't to make it look like watercolor).

Absolutely COOL introduction. It saved me couple of hour studying the manual. Selfexplanatory. But keep track on second monitor with your speed… horrible but I done it. Many Thanks.
This will work great. I wanted to upload some stuff to The Blue prints dot com and this will work even better. Thanks Oliver.
Hi, Kaandorpius π I'll check that out for future tutorials, thanks for the idea!
Hi, Luis. I'm not uploading them on Youtube. I only made a few of them a long time ago. In the website you can take a look, from the UVs ones to the animation or Bmesh intro I think… under the video you have the language options π
