Cel Shading is a style of computer rendering that replaces the shading gradient of conventional rendering with flat colors and shadows (as seen at right). In layman's terms, it imitates the look of hand-drawn artwork and animation. The style was codified with the Sega Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio. While the style is not exclusive to Video Games, it is often used there since this is the only way to produce a hand-drawn look via computer polygons. In other media, Cel Shading can be useful to render specific items in a hand-drawn production, if a given scene would be too difficult to animate by hand, such as a rotating object or an Epic Tracking Shot traveling down the length of a massive vehicle. There are also animated series produced exclusively via cel shading, usually for similar reasons. When mixing cel shading with traditional animation, it's important to calibrate the renderer to avoid visually clashing with the rest of the production (i.e. being too detailed or smoothly animated). Be careful when tossing terms around; Cel Shading applies first and foremost to the way the lighting is rendered. Conventional rendering can still utilize solid colors, simplistic textures, and cartoonish caricatures (e.g. The Incredibles or the 3D Super Mario Bros. games). Likewise, Cel Shading can be as realistically-proportioned and textured as any hand-drawing. Actual hand-drawn media is never an example, for obvious reasons, nor are cels drawn on computers in a manner similar to conventional animation. If a CGI cartoon is not exactly cel-shaded, but still has a "hand drawn" appearance, it may fit under Painted CGI. The name comes from the cels that hand-drawn cartoons were traditionally painted on. Chiaroscuro is an oft-used visual effect. |

Suzy's Zoo: Daisuki! Witzy employs this trope so well that it is impossible to tell that it's actually CGI without checking the credits, or catching several very small quirks (ie, the characters turning wouldn't be that fluid if it was 2D animation). | |

At the time Disney made The Great Mouse Detective, a method for placing CGI directly into an animated film didn't exist. The clock's gears were created as wire-frame graphics, printed out and traced onto the animation cels. Retroactively, this achieves exactly the same look as modern-day cel-shaded animation, but is technically more reminiscent of Spider-Verse's Painted CGI technique. Disney would additionally utilize this technology two years later for the vehicles and New York City skyline in Oliver & Company. | |

A tech demo for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (available on the The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 bonus disc) shows a cel shading effect being applied to a model of Mei Ling (from Metal Gear Solid VR Missions), as part of early experiments to capture Yoji Shinkawa's hand drawn style. The cel shading effect ended up being used in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance's VR training missions to represent enemy soldiers. | |

Path of Radiance and its direct sequel Radiant Dawn both used cel-shading in cutscenes that at times looks almost exactly like traditional animation. This returned for Awakening and Fates, and appears to be the franchise style nowadays. A still from one of the cutscenes could pass for hand-drawn animation. | |

Berserk had a 2012-13 movie trilogy adaptation which tried to blend lots of 3D character models and objects for the big army and action scenes with traditional 2D animation, using shaders to make the colors, shadows, and textures look more two-dimensional. | |

Nintendo used a similar cel-shading style with the Nintendo DS Zelda games (namely Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks), tailored for the DS's lower hardware capacity. Skyward Sword also has a cel-shading style (made to look like an impressionist painting rather than a cartoon), but set on characters with proportions more in line with Twilight Princess. It got the same initial reaction. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom use a Cel Shading style as well, though they use a much more powerful graphical engine, stylistically reminiscent of the gouache watermedia. |

Transformers: Energon used cel shading for the CGI transformers. How well they did is a whole other matter entirely. Occasionally, the CGI would be replaced with traditional animation, creating an even worse jarring effect — and worse yet — it blew the CGI out of the water. | |

Transformers: Prime is animated in CG, but the overall look of the show emulates elements of both regular CG and cel-shaded graphics. What is done is in addition to the "hard line" shadow they also added a third level, a reflective highlight to the metal forms, and so achieving a "cel-shaded but not quite cel-shaded" look to it. The regular humans have a bit more of a traditional CG appearance, but the hard shadow is still apparent and they have slightly exaggerated proportions to better blend with the hyper-stylized robots. | |

The Neptunia series uses heavily-shaded models to give the characters an anime-inspired look. This is most easily seen in dungeons where you can play around with the camera. Otherwise, the visual novel-esque cutscenes tend to use either shaded CG stills or sprites. | |

Berserk (2016) is a hybrid between 3D CGI and 2D hand-drawn anime. The 3D characters and objects are filtered through a cel shader that turns the shadows into solid blocks of color instead of smooth gradients to make them look more like 2D cartoons. A particular feature is that the shadows are filled with a linear hatching effect which simulates shading with a pen or pencil, and the same hatching effect is applied to the shadows that appear on any 2D models to create a more uniform look. | |

The CGI parts of Futurama, such as the Planet Express ship and the New New York backdrop, are cel-shaded so well that in some scenes, the animation staff (in the DVD Commentary) can't tell what's CG and what's hand-drawn. Notably, it was one of, if not the first, to attempt this on a large scale. | |

Fear Effect is an odd example: It used special textures to fake the look of cel-shading, but the characters weren't actually lit by anything. While it uses a completely different technique from cel-shading, in execution it looks identical. | |

Land of the Lustrous uses this and is considered one of the best examples of cel-shading in anime ever. Possibly in part because it gives off an intentional Uncanny Valley to the characters, who are either gems that just so happen to physically resemble humans, divine ghost-like beings, or an android. | |

Team Fortress 2 uses a lighting system (Phong shading) which falls somewhere between cel-shading and realistic lighting. While the line between lit and unlit is stronger than a realistically-lit scene, it's also fuzzier than a cel-shaded one. The game's shaders also include ones for directional ambient light sources above and below the characters in addition to the standard lighting (ambient lighting is usually just handled by adding a constant amount of light to all lighting calculations regardless of the direction a surface is pointing so shadowed surfaces don't turn out black). This was inspired by, of all things, the advertising art of J.D. Leyendecker, who worked for The Saturday Evening Post. This additionally gives the game a sort of "Americana" feel, like that of a WWII ad, or manly pulp magazine. During more than a decade of constant updates, the game lost some of the HL2's effects such as reflections on weapons and thus it looks even more "cartoony" now. |

Ōkami uses a fairly unique rendering method involving flowing liquid shadows (and outlined models) meant to look like ink. Although in still shots it looks slightly similar to cel-shading, the actual technique, and the appearance in motion, is completely different (notably it isn't tied to light sources, instead being closer to ambient occlusion). The same applies for Ōkamiden. | |

Coyote is seated in the courtroom with his lawyer. also use cel-shaded CGI for the animated characters in the real world to give them the impression of having jumped straight out of 2D animation.

Tangled was originally supposed to look like an oil painting on canvas, but the technology was never perfected, so it ended up being done with conventional computer animation. However, the look is much softer and more fluid than any movie that's come beforehand, and the character designs are a very good translation of Disney 2D. That said, the oil painting look can be seen in some of the backgrounds. It's especially evident in some of the forest scenes. | |

Transformers: Transformers: Prime is animated in CG, but the overall look of the show emulates elements of both regular CG and cel-shaded graphics. What is done is in addition to the "hard line" shadow they also added a third level, a reflective highlight to the metal forms, and so achieving a "cel-shaded but not quite cel-shaded" look to it. The regular humans have a bit more of a traditional CG appearance, but the hard shadow is still apparent and they have slightly exaggerated proportions to better blend with the hyper-stylized robots. The sequel series to Prime, Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), uses more cel-shading than its predecessor. |

In Sailor Moon Crystal, the switch to 3D animation used for team shots during the opening and for the heroine's Transformation Sequence is cel-shaded, but that doesn't prevent it from being fairly obvious, due to the flatter aesthetic of the traditionally animated Noodle People character designs. Complaints about this causing Unintentional Uncanny Valley lead to Season 2 and beyond switching to using traditional animation completely. | |
