New Image Tru 'Nembra 's Pipes 2005-05-02 - By Elena Dent

Xerox etc, need black and white to look their best, they don't do greyscale
well at all. This means your best bet is to find some way to use black and
white to simulate greys but that is also not all that horribly hard to do if
you plan ahead. It also makes for dramatic presentation, and your image
would work well for it.
Try toon, using black, white and as few as possible flat shades of grey.
You could also try various photoshop filters to get black and white to
simulate grey - inkstroke, stipple and other textures.
You could also, which may be the most work, generate some black/white
textures and use them on your models. This would be the most difficult
thing to do and would probably be more work with less good effect than the
photoshop (or equivalent) filters. It could also look spectacular,
depending on how you design parameteric shaders using turbulence, woodgrain,
etc.
Take a look at _[digital] Lighting & Rendering_ by Jeremy Birn, New Riders
press, paperback, $50.00 US (new)ISBN 1-56205-954-8 Probably the finest
book on lighting, digital or real, I've ever seen. It explains the why
behind the how and goes much further than cookbooking lighting styles and
techniques. He goes into color, depth of field, image scale, how and why to
use lighting for effect and picture composition. Well worth the money if
you have to cough it up for a new book, a steal if you can find it used.
It's a good binding and paper, so it should be ok even used.

Okay, sometimes you should just leave things that you find lying around
alone. :-)
