dots shading

Hi!

I need your help with shading.

I need to make a dots shading for the object (The file is attached).

1)The light should be at the top left;

2)The shadows should be made of dots;

3)The edges should be visible;

4)The background should be black and white;

5)The object should be black and white only

The example is below.

Thank you in advance!

I think this is possible, however, I do not have a solution in 3dsmax. I did, however, find a solution using a Blender shader. You 'could' export the 3dmodel into Blender and apply the shader and render out in Blender (there is a downloadable link to the Blender scene in the link, otherwise you could re-create the Blender shader in 3dsmax using the same principle in creating the Blender shader - that would require some experience in creating procedural textures though.

@10DSpace , hi!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

What I mean is that the blender shader uses a cell noise that changes in density/darkness depending on camera angle and ambient occlusion colour. so in 3dsmax create a texture that uses cell noise that also changes in density/darkness depending on camera angle and ambient occlusion colour.

It would take some experimenting and time to achieve this, unfortunately I don't have the time to.

Ok.

Could you provide me with keywords and the topic's names so I could try to find info and tutorials on the internet
