The REAL problem with using Poser's "cartoon render" mode for cel shading is that "cartoon render" mode won't render textures, so everything ends up being delineated in solid colors only -- and if a detail isn't built into the actual mesh of an object, then you won't see it at all in "cartoon render" mode. Therefore, Poser doesn't have a true cel renderer. When I saw the folks at Curious Lab at last year's SIGGRAPH (in L.A.) the ONLY thing I asked them for in Poser 5 was a decent cel shader. They all looked at me dazed and confused, like deer caught in the headlights. I never did understand why my simple request seemed to baffle and confuse them -- especially when you think of how many comic book artists out there use Poser and would probably LOVE to have something that would render out in 2D.
