I've recently purchased Toon from DCG and need help with rendering Poser figures with it. My main problem is I can't get it to outline the nose or lips or hands. I imagine if I could somehow separate the nose the head and set it up as a Toon group it would work, but I'm not sure if this is possible or reliable. I've had good results with the Cartoon render in Poser but I don't want to export everything back into Poser. Any ideas? PS, does anybody know if any developers are working on a plugin that would allow for vector output from Carrara? Thanks, FM

FM, Here's a couple things you can try: You could do two things with the lips. Seperate it so that Toon! knows it's something different and draws the outline, or draw the outline as part of your texture. For the nose and the hands, you may be able to make them stand out more against the main part of the mesh by working with the Distance Threshold and the Distance Line Width settings. These settings will make Toon! draw a line if pixels near it are farther away from the camera even if they are on the same object. As for vector, I don't want to promise anything yet, I'm still in the very early exploratory stages, but there MIGHT be Flash output in the next version of Toon!

Cool, I'm on it. Thanks! Flash output would be tremendous, for all of us I wish you well.
