Has anyone been able to get pwToon to work in the beta version? I've tried with the last couple of updates but without success. I had a quick try with Visual Style Shader and this did seem to apply to the surfaces. 

Also, I had an issue with trying to shut down the new beta version today. It refused to close and I had to do a hard shut down. I'm using the Mac version. 

Ghost in the Shell: The Major

I tweaked my Visual Style Shaders settings.  I used VSS on the skin, gloves, and jacket.  I used pwToon on her hair, gun, and other clothing.  I, of course, used LineRender9000 for the linework.  The background was created using Daz assests.  Only the green Hexagons were added in post work.  I enhanced the colors in photoshop.  I also used a filter called Tonal Contrast in the free plugin Nix Collection/Color Effex Pro 4.  Hope you all like it.  

Mostly PWToon, with some of that freebie geoshell outline to handle some of the bits that flood out.

 

I like the colors on this a lot. And the lines turned out well, I think I got that freebie but hadn't been using it, lines are always tricky in the renderer. Will need to try it out.

Another Gundam

I always like your renders, but wanted to mention on this one in particular I like the color variations on the "white" metal parts. Keeps it very interesting without being overwhelming texture.

Toying around with yet another concept for Alex Riker, my main character/team leader.  I didn't correct all the issues and I totally forgot to add shadows to the lights.  I'm more interested in feedback on the concept vs the previous ones.

Glad to see you have been having success with pwToon. My initial reaction was that it looks consistent with the style of your previous artwork, it fits in well, so it looks like you've done a good job of getting pwToon to behave how you want. I want to take a little more time later to compare with some of your previous ones to give more thoughts on this.

Something I've been putting together. It was intended to get some practice in sequential images using some of the shader presets. Originally it was supposed to be a quick exercise and it ended up growing into something that took a lot longer than planned. The process will need some revision if I ever intend to take this further, but I'm generally liking how the end result looks.

All pwToon, minimal composition work in photoshop.

PWToon. Woo.

You achieved some interesting effects here that look like they are heaing in a great direction for an animated cel look. Moving forward, I suggest killing the bump maps on his clothing – they are providing a texture that doesn't seem quite like it fits with the rest of the scene. Also, there are obviously some contrast issues between the house and the trees, but overall I do like the "bones" of what I see here.

The landscape is interesting... I think it needs some tweaks, but you really did got a good look out of it in this render.

Keep it up. I'm interested in seeing what comes next.

If I have to do compositing, I usually revert to using my own Oso Toon. What I like about PWToon is being able to do a lot all in one render.

I like the two tone color I can get in pwtoon. I have yet to find a way to achieve the same effect in Iray without postwork.

I didn’t like the transition between light and shadow, until I was told how to tweak it.  Now I like it much better.

@tcassat I've not rendered The Girl 8 in 3delight other than when using Visual Style Shaders or pwToon which replaces the skin settings entirely.

I've just tried a straight render and I'm getting the same dark tone. I'm no expert on 3Delight and I tend use a free light set when rendering with it. I recently got IBL Master so I'll do test using that product to light her. I did replace her skin with one from Hazel and then applied the 3DL setting to it, it rendered ligh but washed out, I think I need to at least try a different light set.

Has anyone been able to get pwToon to work in the beta version of Daz Studio? I've tried a couple of times and the script doesn't apply. The last time using the latest update. VSS seems to work OK though.

I never use Beta versions.  If you are referring to the lastest Beta, you should report that.  I’l be really pissed if they break pwToon in the next update.

I used pwToon in my concept pic above.  Now that I’m getting use to it, I’m really loving it with Line Render.  If LineRender misses a line pwToon usually picks it up.

PWToon. Woo.

Alamosaurus and TRex2 juvenile... (PWToon render)

But Sir, I was only trying to create one!

Suki knew she was going to fail the science test. She was supposed to be creating a crystal tree but sneakily tried to create her own special pet. But things had gone very wrong. They were multipying, and worse, they growing so fast they might just be taller than teacher by the end of the test!

PWToon

Alexi with 25% Toon Generations, Harpswood Trail.

Decided to kick the wheels on PWToon again...

Here's my Otter with a smidge of Toon Generation and enlarged eyes.

 

Cute;)

I’ve picked this up too and would definitely love a shadow catcher :-)

As soon as I get the chance today I’ll start to try and start learning how to use the product. I’m a relatively new Daz user (just about a year now) and so far my 3delight experience has mainly been confined to using it with pwToon and Visual Style Shaders. But I use a Mac and if I can get good fine quality renders with your Awe Shaders @wowie I would be absolutely delighted! So what I would love is some tutorials on using these and how to get the best out of them
