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 [[Conspicuous CG|visually clashing with the rest of the production]] (i.e. being ''too'' detailed or smoothly animated).
Line 9:
The name comes from the cels hand-drawn cartoons were traditionally painted on to. [[Chiaroscuro]] is an oft-used visual effect.

== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Appleseed]]''—The 2004 movie and its sequel, ''Ex Machina''.
Line 78:
* ''[[Asura's Wrath]]''
* The Darkness 2 will have a cell shaded look, apparently to remind players of it's comic book origins (but seeing as how cell shading gives a cartoony feel, and the comics were grim & gritty, YMMV on how well that works).
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Starting with Volume 4 (and [[Rooster Teeth]]'s switch to a new animation program), ''[[RWBY]]'' has cel shading.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
