ok, so here is a mini tutorial on how to get a fast, easy, decent looking anime picture with very little work. first render up your scene. here is an example one and then in photoshop, after you have opened your scene,go to Filter>Artistic>Poster edges now to get the following picture below i used these settings Edge Thickness = 0 Edge intensity = 0 Posterization = 1 and then i added a gaussian blur of 1.0 pixels but you soul play around with it so see what results are best for your picture and i then ended up with the image below let me know what you think, of both my mini tutorial and the end result

I like it. Simple and effective is a great combination. Thank you.

Hi, KJAM. I tried a quick and dirty experiment using your photoshop trick. Then I experimented a bit with it. It's not anime, but it looks kinda cool. I didn't like the dark edges of the posterize filter, or the jagged edges it produced, so I softened up the image some, and then used "lighten" to overlay the poserized image. Just thought I would share. =) bB
