Dragon Ball Z and cel-shading

[colgatesmile]

i bought Dragonball Z Burst Limit the other day online.
I read that they use "cel-shading" in the game. My question is what exactly is that?

I still think the orig, Jet Grind Radio, pulled it off the best. Althought DBZ: Burst Limit's is pretty nice too.

This would be better in one of the gaming forums but: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cel-shaded_animation

edit: Heh...I think we have this one covered.

Cel-Shading basically takes 3-dimensional graphics and makes the shading a bit more generic. By generic, I mean the changes in tones and very defined and usually only consist of a couple changes rather than having a near infinite amount on a normally rendered object.

Think "Comic-book look in a 3-d environment."

Legend of Zelda: Wind waker was probably the biggest title to use it.

Since you made a thread about the game kinda... how do you like it? I tried the demo and it seemed fun, but not sure how much there is for $60 . Also, I coulda swore that Yamucha never learned the Kamehameha, but it's been years since I read Dragonball Z.

jet grind was probably the first, XIII, windwaker, killer7, no more heroes, the list goes on and on.

and all DBZ games.
