Hatching - A new Style!

Traditional painting uses multiple strokes to apply paint to an image.  To simulate depth and shadows, for example, a higher density of strokes is used in certain areas.  finalToon's hatching feature, simulates exactly such a drawing style!  A single stroke is defined by a simple bitmap. This stroke bitmap can be any image you want.  However, a real image of a line stroke makes more sense in most cases.  finalToon will use a clever procedural approach to make sure that darker areas show a higher density of line strokes than brighter areas.

As written above, the look of the single stroke which is used to create the hatching is defined by a bitmap.  So it is very easy to completely change the look of your hatching by just choosing another image.

This is just another example.  As you can see you can use whatever image you like for the hatching bitmap.
