    Cool work, folks! Love what you're all doing with Toon Shaders. I haven't grasped a good flow for that yet - probably because I'm looking for something else for my work - but I love it! It looks freaking Awesome!

    FYI - the other Toon plugin Jonstark mentioned is Toon! Pro, by DCG (Digital Carver's Guild), professional Carrara (and LightWave) plugins made years ago - and they're all Open Source now! Check it out! Digital Carver's Guild - Carrara Plugins

    I LOVE that disheveled, frizzy "mop" of 1980s hair!

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    Thanks :)

    Agree, looks terrific!  :)  And you should see it in animations too, really brings it even more to life! (Dart has shown some example animations in the Carrara forums). 

    Argh! Wait till you see my new animations! Those examples were done in a horrible way - on a laptop that had to struggle just to open Carrara! LOL

    After looking at all these great renders, and hoping not to derail this thread, I got to wondering what first got you all interested in this kind of art.

    So what manga/anime were the ones that first influenced you to get interested in Japanese style renders?

    For me it was the old anime (1968, black and white) 'GeGeGe No Kitaro', then 'Akira', 'Lina Inverse' and 'Nadia: Secret of Blue Water', while the original 'Neon Genesis' really opened my eyes to the possibilities.

    The first anime I ever watched was also an old black and white one (and a very obscure one), called Prince Planet in English. It used to play in the US during the mid 1960s and early 1970s (at least as late as 1974, when I was three years old). It was my favorite show when I was that age.

    G-Force (Battle of the Planets) was pretty much the only thing like this I was exposed to for the most part. Thanks for the inspiration to dig deeper!

    Then Alita Battle Angel came along and I almost didn't watch it. I think I read or saw something about how incredible a job Weta Digital did on making Alita a miraculous CG protagonist interact perfectly with live action, so I thought it would help to inspire me on my current project of making a fully CG movie - even though I was going for more of a quasi-painterly-artistic-yet-realistic look. 

    Alita inspired me to go for dynamic hair again - and I'm really glad, because I've finally got it working really nice for how HUGE it has to be on my main heroine.

    This thread inspired me to go further with my main character - more Manga - but to me, that was more about the face shape and eyes than full-on toon shading. I'm still not going to go that route - at least not at first. We'll see what the future holds!

    That last sighting of my Manga Rosie is pretty poor IMHO compared to how she looks as of just yesterday, where I'm pretty sure I'm calling a lock on her for now so I can push on with the show.

    An example of when you blend Hiro 5 with some female facial morphs and accents.

    You too can have your own villain to threaten the fate of the world, over a children's card game in no time.

     

    The toon look this time is a DZdefault/Postwork blend I'm working on.

     

    Ah yes, what would a child's game be without the overkilling, looking, son of a gun!

    I haven't had a chance to sit down and art for a while, but today I finally had the time.

    A mix of Aiko 6 and Hitomi by way of GenX. The painted effect was ridiculously easy to accomplish.

    Its just a 3DL render with two distance lights, that I applied the "Smart Blur" effect to in Photoshop. That's it.

    And here's her male counterpart. A blend of G2M Animated Shapes "boy" and Hiro 5.

    Because Hiro 5 is part of a morph package you can get for Genesis 2 male, there was no need to convert that morph from Genesis 1.

    I improved the skin, by making the SSS settings better match the girl's. Also changed up the material of his armor, so it would look less bland.

    A few changes later, and I now have Aiko 3 mixed with G2F's Sakura.

    Genesis 2 Female has a lot of Mix and Match anime options.

    Swap out AS Boy for AS Man, and you get his big brother! Its a shame they don't sell the animated shapes pack any more, because when mixed with other morphs, you can make some diverse male characters.

    Same project but with different lighting, and using Daz|Studio's built in toon shader.

     

    That reveal though, stepping out into the spotlight. By any chance, is that a weapon that bears similarities to those of Halo's Battle rifle and assault rifle, and being a fusion of both? Anywho, dig the color choices :)

    Thanks!

    And here's a mix of Aiko 3 and Girl 6.

    Another G2 blend. A 1970's style anime henchman.

    He's looking for Henches that need henching...probably!

    I decided to convert the Girl 6 and a few other G2F characters over to Genesis, and then decided to try an update on my characters Ashley Chrome and Maria Mirandez using the Girl 6 as a base, and I'd like some opinions on what you all think, and which version of each girl you like best. 

    Up first is Ashley, starting with the before pic:
