·         Cell Shading


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cel_shading
Cel shading (often misspelled as 'cell shading') or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic renderingdesigned to make 3-D computer graphics appear to be flat by using less shading color instead of a shade gradient or tints and shades. Cel-shading is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon. It is somewhat recent, appearing from around the beginning of the twenty-first century. The name comes from cels(short for celluloid), the clear sheets of acetate which are painted on for use in traditional 2D animation.
