Hi Riddokun :) I hope this will give you an idea. First of all you remember the toon display mode in Poser 4? There were two types, a simple toon or toon with outlne. This has now changed and you can specify one tone, two tone, three tone, and even three tone with highlight. So, in this case you just antialias, no rendering required. Now, if you render, there are many options in the material room. You can use the standard toon node (it's now provided in the form of a wacro) and apply that or you can fine tune it. You can even have a textured model and add a toon node to that. Here are a few examples. All the top ones are just the display mode and only the bottom two are done with shaders. There are many more types of shaders available and I'm working on a small freebie for AniMax for Apollo Maximus right now to give him a more toony look. These are just quick renders, the toon nodes can be tweaked for even more variety. Lastly, there's also an option if you use the firefly renderer to outline your figure in either pen, pencil, marker, etc choosing the thickness too. Well, I don't use that all that much, I find even the thinnest a bit too thick for my purposes so I prefer to use the shader nodes. Hope this gives you an idea.
