Have not seen a cel shader or toon renderer yet, only played with the program for 20 minutes so far. Have to printout the manuals today. ONLY Standard and Pro have the plugin manager and the use of sdk and plugins, from the litereature that I've read. If someone comes up with a cel/toon plugin then I don't think the LE version would be able to use it. There are a bunch of plugins for Shade 6, don't think they work in Shade 7, and they are pretty much from the Japanesse community. Have to look more into what they've been up to with this program. but LE can be upgraded, same price as poser users get their standard for.
