I don't know which way is easier. I'd just assume that with the lines would be easier because up till now all celshaded games used it...[b]

Did you not read what I wrote? It's easier to design the character without the black lines, as doing it WITH the black lines forces you to render a whole other layer.

Got to disagree here... TPM did so much more than previous movies that it was a truly innovative use of CG and adding CG to movies. [b]Sure it'd been used before, but not nearly as much or as well as it was used in TPM... the improvement was dramatic enough to be innovative.

If it's done before, it's not innovative. Dramatic improvement is not innovation.
