Quote - I always thought that Poser, DAZ, and Carrara would be great tools for producing that kind of animation, but I have found very few other people that were interested in specifically cel-shaded anime style animation in Poser.  I'm really glad to see that someone has proven that this can be done successfully on a production scale.

Personally, I think my cel-shading looks better, though. :-)

Actually Im agree with you about cartoon/anime /cel shaded in Poser or DAZ universe . This should be "best solution " for small or personal animation or comic projects . Since we dealing with 3D object which mean there is posiblity to minimize redraw session , every time camera adjusted . These tought bring me to DAZ / Poser universe anyway ;)

Several cool anime or toon figures like Aiko/Hiro - Cookie/Chip or 3D universe`s products already released ,  but enthusiasm about toon/anime/celshading render not really moving up ;)

I think a lot people in  Poser/DAZ forums  far more interest in realism than cel shaded/toon/anime render type .

Thats why we`re not hear so much about new techniques or information how we could optimize or sharpening our knowledge about anime/toon/cel shaded render .

About production in large scale , since a lot people in Poser/DAZ universe depend so much with contents ( figures, properties, motion pose and even shader presets ) i dont think we`ll be see serious project finished at least until a lot motion presets available or maybe when content developer release more consistent products ( cloth,uniform , weapon , accesories,building ) based on specific themes/ genres

Im not using Poser again since ver 6  and moving to DAZ Studio because for my personal experience its easier when dealing with toon/anime/cel shading stuff especially if you need to make serious preset`s  adjustment   . There are  several product like PwSketch - PwToon -Visual /Manga Shader or free toon shader ( i believe yours is one of them ;)) which offer variety how to get anime/toon render .

Thanks . english not my first languange . But I hope not giving who read this  some "Dizzy head" experience ;)
