Need Help Daz Cartoon Tutorial?

Faeryl Womyn

I was wondering if there were and tutorials anywhere on how to use the Cartoon Render setting in Daz. I am currently using 2.3 something or other and also plan to be using the current Daz when I get a new computer. I seem to recall someone has a tutorial or instructions on how to play with the settings to get the Cartoon Render the way you like. Was quite a while ago, so probably on the old Daz site.

Any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance.

There were a few posts a while ago by '6r' on the subject. I believe his name is Phillipe Cezare, but his forum name should still be searchable on the old site, or you could drop him a PM He posted quite a bit about cartoon rendering, and he has his own website too.

Thank you all for your help, however, I think I may have not given enough information, the links you have given are not what I am looking for. Inside the Daz program, when you go to render settings, you have two options, normal and cartoon, it's for this cartoon setting that I need tuts for. If anyone has any links for tuts about that setting, that would be very helpful.

CallieVee I maybe wrong but I think that setting is primarily like working in wireframe to cut down on overloading the system when you are setting up a scene .....I've never figured out how to get it to actually render out toonish, you might want to look at pwToon shaders ,to get the toon effects you want .....

Borgy I know about the toon shader set that was normally part of Daz and then became separate as later versions came out and the introduction of uberenvironment and the like. I actually have that set and have that tut saved on the computer. I can't watch the video as this computer is old and doesn't handle video's very well. I am waiting on my tax return to get something better.

Carrie I have used the cartoon setting, just once and it did render like a cartoon image, as to the rest you mentioned about that setting, I really can't say much. It has always been my assumption that the setting was for doing toon renders instead of normal, beyond that I am clueless. What I remember from a while back is using that cartoon setting and there was someone who gave instructions on how to use it to get different cartoon looks by changing the settings for it.

There are no different settings for the renderer when you select Cartoon in the render settings.

You can change the line thickness and other things when you use a Toon dhader, maybe that is what you saw. I just looked in DS3, and not settings change when using the Cartoon render.
