We present a rendering algorithm that produces images with the appearance of a traditional cartoon from a 3D description of the scene (a static or an animated scene). The 3D scene is rendered with techniques allowing to: outline the profiles and edges of objects in back, uniformly color the surface inside the outlines, render shadows (backface shadows and projected shadows) due to light sources.
