Here's what's new!

1. Massive reduction in memory usage, especially for large oversampling/high resolution images.
2. Control line settings down to the shading domain level.
3. Apply cel shading to objects with lots of shading domains using just a few clicks.
4. Draw lines on shading domain boundaries.
5. Fixed performance issues and bad rendering for lines that extended way off camera.
6. Render Toon! Pro lines to the alpha channel.

o.k., thx fr the info, eric.  puting the linework in a separate layer (channel/mask) is definitely
a time-saver IMVHO.

 Nice update Eric. Thanks!

Well done again Eric!

Thanks for the continuing development on your stuff Eric!

Oops. Maybe a bit of development ahead. At home I use Mac OS X 10.5.5 and Carrara 6.2.1

I learn that the ToonPro.mcx file 'failed to load', and after that Carrara crashes. Of course TimeMachine bailed me out and I put the original files back from a couple of hours ago (and works fine again), but something seems not right with the new mcx file...

I hope you can find what could be wrong!

The update sounds like something I'd really like to use!

Kind regards!

Hoofdcommissaris,

I just double checked the download and it seems to be working here. Can you try downloading and installing it again. The link for OSX and 6.2.1 is

www.digitalcarversguild.com/downloads/c6/toonproub.zip

Make sure you copy the ToonPro.mcx, ToonPro.dat, and ToonPro.txt files to the extensions folder. If that doesn't help, please contact me off list and we'll dig deeper.

Thanks,
