Is there a way to make the new Toon outline glow? Kind of like self illumination, so I can get some Bloom and Glare out of it in the VFB?

Since there is no Emission in the Max or C4D Outline, what you can do is set the color to be outside the 255,255,255 RGB range. In Max, this can be done via a CoronaColor in HDR mode. In C4D, you can do something similar using a Corona Color Mix, which allows for Level to be set higher than 100. Connect this in as the texture for the Outline. To keep control of the resulting color, disable the ACES OT if you are using it (as it may otherwise shift the "brighter than white" color to be a different hue. Image attached. Hope this helps!

This is perfect, thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Didn't know you can go beyond 100% with color mix, I've used this trick with c4d materials but couldn't figure it out with corona.

You're welcome! I had to ask the devs, so it was Ales that let me know how to exceed regular color levels in C4D with this little trick :) So I was in the dark about it til now too lol!
