I have Poser 6, and am trying to make cartoon like images from 3D models with as little postwork as possible. (i.e. I want to be able to render an image that looks like it belonged in a televised cartoon, without having to ink too many lines in Photoshop). Does anyone have any ideas/techniques as to how to go about this? I like SnowSultan's Z-toon technique, but one still has to to outline the z-tooned figure with stronger lines. I'm currently experimenting with Poser's "toon shaders". Does anyone know much about them? Are there any gallery images that demonstrate effectiveuse of "tooning" techniques? Thanx!

here are some people that can give you alot of info on toon shading.alot of the artists there use that style :0) -3DZ

I looked at the site, but didn't see any images after clicking on the gallery link. All I got was: Recent Public Pics - No Pics Most Viewed Pictures - No Pics Highest Rated Pictures - No Pics But AFAIK you have to do alot of postwork on any Poser cartoon render, because the lines are always bad, and the shading can be jagged and choppy-looking.

oh,you may have to register to view the gallery,I didn't think of that since I am a member already,sorry about that. -3DZ

Depending on what type of toon you're looking for, I'd suggest you use some Toon Shaders and then the Toon Outline in Poser 6. I have some Toonshaders available on my site, in the textures section (free of course) Here's an example of a pic made that way. A little postwork in PSP, the raster effect is postwork, but the character itself is pure Poser6 rendering.

Harry Potter? (At least that's what the katakana lettering says.)

Yeah it's supposed to be an anime-ish Harry Potter :o)

I'm not sure about the halter top but I like the face. Even with the purple hair it looks like him, and the hair actually looks kind of cool. ;-)
