Perhaps stating the obvious here, but Studio does have a toon-style shader built in. I don't recall exactly where as I've customized my layout UI quite a bit, but in the standard UI when you go to hit 'render' in Studio 4, the pop-up box that has some values for normal also has a drop down tile where you can select 'Cartoon'. Studio 3 had this as well, slightly different orientation. I'm sure its more easily accessible under Render Settings in the Render tab.

The same can be done quite easily in post, as RorrKonn mentioned. I've never used those particular programs, but Gimp has a plethora of toon and comic book effects that are pretty easy to make what you want.

I'm aware of the cartoon renders in Daz studio, but how to use it properly. I'm finding the renders to be...well....rubbish. They don't look convincing. I've taken a look at Topaz, which I hadn't heard of, and that looks pretty good at a glance.

By the way superboomturbe, what does UI mean?

UI ,User interface.

If you got Topaz not that you would need these.
Just making sure you know about them.
