Hi... I`ve got this result when i`d use Michael Mapplebeck (AKA Mapps at Renderosity)` P5 Toon shader . This method answer my question yesterday , about skin texture like comic ( painting ) . I dont have tablet or stylus and only mouse , thats make me difficult to get result like everybody`s postworks like i saw in gallery , but.... this shader give me another way . BTW ,with three light setup i`ve got trouble to handle highlight overcast ( even in postwork ), but with only two light or maybe one i could reduce it and go to PS to give picture very easy postwork ( level , duplicate , blend mode ) Note : These pics compressed JPG , the actual render very crispy

Look at this continous skin`s tone

Looks VERY VERY interesting. This is something I gotta try out!

That came out pretty cool. It didn't actually occur to me to try toon shading anything other than, well, toons. :)

Ooohhh...the possibilities!! Are those installed as part of P5 or an aftermarket item?

Toon Shaders are part of P5. :)

could you post a non toon shaded version, so I can tell the difference?

Can you post a screen shot of your materials screen for the above images?

Very interesting render,I would like to see your materials settings, if that is possible...

Ive done nothing.... No texture at all just search Michael Mapplebeck (AKA Mapps at Renderosity)s P5 Comic Colour in freestuff , apply in every body part and head with that( in this case i apply africa flesh ) and go..on... Actually , those shader only for toon character (like guys who create said ) , but thats work for other figure too , i think... Render with only one light , and go to PS or anything 2d package to balancing tone . Thats it. Sorry.. Garree , pz3 not saved , but if you interest i can work again . Wait for that...

thanks

Ok, can you throw me a bone here? I was all over my P5 last night and couldn't find anything marked "toon shaders" or even just "shaders." I admit to being lost in the materials room and not understanding the subtle sciences involved there, but, can ya just tell me what ya done? Please??

Cedarwold, "Shaders" is what the Poser 5 procedural textures are called. The Toon shaders in this case is a free pack that Mapps has made, it's in free stuff. If you download them and apply one of them you can see where everything goes and how it works. It's a bit hard to explain but (relatively) easy to grasp when you can see a premade shader in use :o)

Okie Dokie..on my way to get them now! Thanks ever so much!!

Sorry everybody... Thankx Gareee to remind me , after i observed again yeah... nothing toon shader connected , thumbnail included make me think those shader are Toon , But whatever shaders node connected or name , those favorite shader for comic purpose Note : For human figure , try to increase highlight size in main shaders pallete , transluence value and maybe ka value in skin shader Thankz Mapps for great stuff

sorry i mean decrease in transluence & ka value (little brain oouch.....)

whimper Mapps' downloads are all dead! Ah well, back to the tutorial section on toon shaders!

Wow i had no Idea theat my toon shaders were so popular, thats why I never made anymore. Perhaps I should consider finishing the set i had started. :-)

Uh...yeah! :)

I second that, Mapps. ALL your shaders ROCK btw, so PLEASE make more :o)

I agree...finish the set, bro. This stuff is great!

snugs up to Mapps and purrs Please? Oh please? chuckles

Well...If you are gonna snug up I will get right to work :-) I do have some new ones I'm working on and have revised some of the old ones Likley next week I will be releasing the new ones alone (stones and new leathers) and a revised pack of all my mats to date (257 total could be more than that by the time I post, I'd like 260 even at least). I see also that I need to start coming here to the forums, it took me over 2 hours to read all the stuff here addressed to me or my stuff. I had simply never gone through the forums before. :-)

OK new shaders posted today 268 P5 mats on my site in downloads 7 will show up here at rosity in the free section as soon as they are approved by the staff. Includes 8 Comic hair 3-4 new flesh and 2 new lips, and 1 or 2 new eyeshadows.

Could you post the link to your website too? I know I have it somewhere in my bookmarks, but...
