Cel-shading

The Cel-Shading test is a visual quality benchmark that assesses an animation's ability to simulate the look of hand-drawn animation while maintaining the precision and smoothness of computer-generated imagery. To achieve this, the test employs a combination of shading techniques, including outlining, texture mapping, and color grading, to create a stylized aesthetic reminiscent of traditional hand-drawn cartoons. By applying these techniques, artists can imbue their animations with a unique visual identity that is both visually appealing and highly engaging.
