Usiong daz to create a graphic novel? Any way to generate comic-style characters?

heisdave

Hi, I used daz to create art for an app, but now that I know it a bit Im thinking of other things I can do with it.

For example, I can use it to create art for a graphic nove ideal Ive been thinking about for years.

But the characters are actually too detailed for comic book style, is there any type of filter I can use to get a leee detailed, comic book type look?

I guess I coudl export the images to photoshop and work on them there but perhaps there are controls in Daz that fit the bill.

Thanks

If you are looking for a more comic book style and use Iray, LineRender9000 may be helpfull  If you use 3Delight, then pwToon might be of use.
