3D Render to 2D Render

Hello

Is there a way to render a model so it have a 2D look to it instead of a 3D look? And without losing text and quality?

There are different shader and camera sets that can do it as well as post-render methods. 

Inside DAZ Studio (apologies if I left out any products):

Post Render Software:

• http://akvis.com/en/sketch/index.php  (They have several plugins, but Sketch is my favorite.)
• http://www.topazlabs.com/  (Adjust and Clean are my favorites for 2D looks.)
• http://www.alienskin.com/snapart/
• http://www.mediachance.com/dap/
• https://filterforge.com/  (There are a lot of filters you can download once you buy the basic program.)
• http://fotosketcher.com/  (Free.)
• http://www.autofx.com/photo-effects-software/automagic-photo-effects-gen2.html
• http://www.painterartist.com/en/product/painter/ (You can have it automatically paint over the image using different media.)
• http://www.painterartist.com/en/product/painter-essentials/    ^^

There are also a lot of Photoshop and Gimp actions and tutorials on how to make your photos/renders look sketched/painted; some are free and some are for sale on different sites.

Hope this helps,

I highly recommend both PWToon and LineRender9000 for creating 2d 'look' of renders.

My results with LineRender9000:

And PWToon, one of my favorite renders:

Generally I've used LineRender9000 or PWToon and basic Photoshop filters (particularly smudge stick or graphic pen) to create interesting (IMO) 2d-like stuff.

I do have a question - http://www.painterartist.com/en/product/painter/ (You can have it automatically paint over the image using different media.)
