Watch the video tutorial in this article to learn how to add a black border around a model in 3ds Max, giving it a toon-like appearance. With just a couple short steps you'll be able to add the same effect to your own models.

Key points covered in this tutorial to create the toon effect are:

• Copying the model and then on the copy
• Applying a normal modifier to flip its normals
• Assigning it a black material
• Enabling backface culling
