Has anyone gotten this from DNA? ART MATERIALS Vol.1 : Cartoon Shaders If you have,what do you think of it and can you post a pic you have done using it:)

It's on my wishlist..... but $30.00 is a little out of my budget at the moment. :( Sadly, I pretty much blew my yearly quota already.....

I have bought and used it yesterday.I like it .Working great.Many shaders ,nice ....but many variations seems show the same results on my tests.The fx ones are good. I didn't test the textured ones for now.Don't regret to put 30$ on it.According to me, need more variations or shaders for skin and ground

Well that's a very Cool Toon Image EricJ I like how TS works.By what Martial is telling us maybe there's to many variations with very little difference and you can't tell the difference in the render.That makes me think that maybe there could make a smaller version of Toon Shader for many of us really don't need all those variations this will bring the price down and this will make more sales I guess for the LE version. Hoping that Olivier at DNA hears me...LOL...Price will go up to $45 on Jan 25...So I need to make up my mind before then...LOL

Le version is a good idea.I will read tutorial next week and i surely find more possibilities .Anyway is a very nice addition to the poser toolset.Thanks

Wow Martial, those are great!

Thanks for the nice feedbacks! :) To get the most of these shaders, I highly recommend to use 1 light only, otherwise you won't get a nice shadow (and that explains why you can't see the differences between the sets, I guess). These materials carry a native backlighting fx, so using 1 light really gives very nice results. Plus this saves even more ressources and the render comes faster. :) A light version of the pack? Well, at first I didn't want to make so many materials (more than 1400). Initially it was 50 in mind. But I felt the need to create these color variations for beginner users who might have been unable to customize their colors. I wanted it to be as much user friendly as possible... So! A light version? Hum, no. Why? Essentially because the real work involved was not to create the color variations, no. That was the easy part. It took me almost 9 month to develop the structure of the shader. That's why the price is "high" compared to the classic products. Though it's not an exception. For example Sanctum-Art sells a stunning pack for 70$ at CP. It's a high price too but for the quality of his work, the profusion of item, all these details in the meshes, believe me: it's given at this price! Get it!!! :) About my shaders, consider that they offer you a service that 3DSMax users have to pay at least 10 times more if they want to buy the ILLUSTRATE plugin for 3DS... ;)

I will test with one light:may be you are right.For the price :we have a lot for the price ... i am agree.But i thought about some for who 15$ or 30$ make a difference between buy or not buy.When we see the complexity of the shaders we also see the work behind the development and understand your price

I'm still trying to figure out these lights in Poser 6, but once I get that figured out, I'll definitly give this package a try. I don't want to add too much to my learning plate because I fear my head will explode, LOL I fear that won't be before the sale ends though, so I'll have to wait for the end of the year sale to get this gem; unfortuately currency exchange really adds to the price that us Canadians have to pay so I have to go for sales whenever I can. In the meantime it's in my wishlist so I don't forget about it. Excellent job on it and it looks like great value with lots and lots of options.

Check out the front page. There is a very good two part article about lights in Poser 6 there.

Yes, I'm waiting for part 2 to come out. EDIT: never mind. I saw that there is a link at the bottom of the tutorial. I was waiting for a separate post on the front page, LOL

Thansk Olivier! Sorry aboat that. I had the wrong link copied. Thanks for posting the right one.

Awesome Images

I'm pretty happy with my current solution, but the black and white shots look pretty interesting... I'm mostly keen to see how you achieved such stable outlines. Still not sure if I want to drop $30 on it.

...man, those black-and-whites are worth every penny of the price! I mean, just look at them, so clean and crisp and ... ink-like ... I'm gonna buy it, that's for damn sure :-)

oh i feel really thick for putting this but has anybody tried trekkiegrrl's FREE cartoon materials - i've downloaded them but not had chance to try them x

Yes Trekkiegrrrl, and also Crescent's Cel shaders are quite good. Both are based on a shader that Stewer posted here long ago. I've gotten a lot of Mileage out of them, However I think Olivier's method for creating the outlines is far superior. In fact I'm going to buy them right now.
