Toon outline glow

[ficdogg]

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!
