PSOFT Pencil+ 4 for 3ds Max is a non-photorealistic rendering plugin which can reproduce the appearance of pen-and-ink and color pencils drawings as well as animation cels. Pencil+ 4 can reproduce the flat look of cel shading and the texture of pencil sketches.

It provides fine control over shading and enables unique presentations where only specific materials are drawn to the foreground. It makes it possible to create revolutionary artistic textures.
