after getting some major help with the greenbriar plugin i imported this character into lightwave and rendered. it took many minutes to load thanks to the thousands of polygins and hundreds of morphs, but i'm getting there. the cell shader i used was the super cell shader, and i put no time into it at all. i was just playing around. v3 with morphs applies, cell shaded in lightwave 7.5. render time 9 seconds at medium aa.

Nicely done. But you know, a couple of materials and you can do this in Poser 5.

crap, i forgot the nudity flag. cool. anyone else cellshading recently??

Quite a few people. Just pull up the gallery and select the subcategory of Anime. That's a good start to some quite well done art out there.

I did this in Poser, although I cheated and used a postwork technique I discovered on the 'net. Produces some nice ink lines, though.

Poser 4, Vue 4.12. Composited together in Vegas 3.0.

wow, that's pretty nice. anyone else? maybe there should be a sub forum here. any cell-style animations?

Here's a couple I did when I first got the anime doll:

The postwork technique I used was actually meant for animations. I applied it to a still-frame image instead. http://members.aol.com/forrestbro/how_cartoon.html Requires some additional setup time, and you have to render the animation twice then combine the two in a nonlinear video editor that supports layers (Premiere, AfterEffects, etc.).

wow! that's some bad ass stuff!! me want more!!

Wow Little_Dragon, that's a lot of setup. We're still looking for a way to do it all in one program (Poser). ^_^ Come real close, but haven't quite hit the mark yet.

Oh... and Amiga Forever!!!

Hmm I made this in Poser Pro Pak, with Cartoon-with-lines. Only postwork is the letterings. It all comes down to what light set you use. This is one of the lightsets included with AnimeDoll :o)

right on!!!keep it coming folks! darkskills, that site looks like it has some cool images on it, but i couldn't get any to play but the low res one... and let me tell ya, it was LOW res. but the still images i see there look amazing. any tutorials on that? what program did you use?

Thanks. I'm not sure why the clips wouldn't play...could have been heavy network traffic, maybe? They seem to be playing fine now though. As for a tutorial, I'm currently finishing up one for Vue. As far as the programs go, it's my usual arsenal; characters all done and rendered in PPP, All backgrounds done in Vue. Finally everything composited together in Vegas Video...

what do you think of vegas? i think it looks great, but do you have any gripes?

Vegas is a fantastic app. Very intuitive, much more so than Premier (IMHO). The only "gripe" is that I wish it actually had some sort of particle effects generator or plug-in to simulate explosions, smoke, etc. However, that being said I whole heartedly recommend Vegas.
