@Dillenbata3 That’s a neat quick history. I didn’t know that. It just seemed like a compact or restricted version of another mode. It feels very Sculpt Mode or Edit Mode but with vertex paint as like a modifier. @gradyp I did see Blender Studios Cow Anime. They solved it for a short. It looked similar to what I’ve done. When the shadow drifts do a hold or add an inbetween. Cageggi’s comic book material does really nice halftones but it uses a ton of VRAM for all the nodes. TL;DR it looks gradients and halftones are easier now but still kind of an art form.
