I am all for any further development of Toon Pro and TOON/NPR EFX in Carrara 5 (or 6)...

That was the main reason- plus DAZ's $94 cross-grade price- that got me to buy Carrara 5! For $94 Carrara 5 is totally worth it as a Toon/NPR generator for 3D models and Poser characters for me!

The main reason I finally got Poser 6 (being very happy with Poser Pro-Pack for many years) was because of Olivier's Art Materials (see link). I have been using P6 with Art MATS Vol 1- up until I got Carrara 5. Art Mats do a lot of nice effects but Carrara's Toon and NPR EFX are easier to set up and use. Plus Olivier seems to be running into Poser 6 limitations for new EFX- while Carrara 5 doesn't seem to have the same limitations I think...

I'm not sure about the transparency problems- but I'm sure they are fixable in Carrara and will be less of a hassle than doing Toon EFX in Poser 6. The main utility that actually makes Art Mat's work fairly easily in P6 is Semideu's FREE ShaderWork's program...
