## Sketch and Toon Preferences

### Auto Add Post Effect

Parameter ID: `TOONUP_PREFS_SETUP_AUTOVP`

Adds the Sketch and Toon post effect automatically when you add a Sketch material, and assigns the material to the post effect as the default visible material.

### Auto Add Material (Post Effect)

Parameter ID: `TOONUP_PREFS_SETUP_AUTOADDVPMAT`

### Auto Add Material (Style Tag)

Parameter ID: `TOONUP_PREFS_SETUP_AUTOADDTAGMAT`

These options add a Sketch material automatically when you add the Sketch and Toon post effect or a Sketch Style tag. The material will be assigned to the post effect or tag as its default visible material.

### Material Background Color

Parameter ID: `TOONUP_PREFS_PREVIEW_BACKGROUND`

### Material Object Color

Parameter ID: `TOONUP_PREFS_PREVIEW_OBJECT`

These settings control the default background and object color of the Sketch material's preview. Set them to **Default** to use Cinema 4D's standard settings for material previews. Note that the object color will be quantized, i.e., you will see bands of color appear for the object's shading instead of a smooth transition.

### Material Preview

Parameter ID: `TOONUP_PREFS_PREVIEW`

![Image: 003076.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/003076.jpg)

Here you can choose which scene is used to generate the preview, such as a scene containing a rounded cube, cylinder or knot. Choose **Standard** to use the default scene defined on Cinema 4D's **Preferences / Material Preview** tab.
