This new You and Me Academy tutorial shows how they recreated the classic bike slide scene from Akria using Cinema 4D, Redshift, and their YMA Toon Shader.

The YMA Toon Shader for Redshift is a shader that allows artists to create without worrying about the technicalities of creating a toon shader from scratch. Built for Cinema 4D, the YMA Toon Shader for Redshift is a single Xpresso node that integrates seamlessly into Redshift. The node has 30 preset toon styles and works with all the Redshift features.

The tutorial walks us through the entire process of creating the iconic Akira Slide scene.
