I am wondering if there are any free cartoon shaders that can create 2D renders of DAZ 3D figures with a black outline to make the characters appear similar to Saturday morning cartoons back in the day?

    Well, you can get pretty close if you do a bit of prep work in your scene buy using DAZ Studio's free cartoon shader. There are also cartoon presets that let you change a suface to be cartoon shaded supplied from with DAZ Studio in one of the shaders folders.

    So, is the cartoon shader included in DAZ Studio, or do I have to download and install it?  If I have to install it, could you please post a link to the download?

    No, it's included when you download the DAZ Studio Essentials (I think).

    When you 1st install DAZ Studio you should installed:

    0) Create in your web-browser a DAZ 3D Store account.

    1) DAZ Install Manager (so-called DIM) - install and configure in preparation for the rest how you want to use on you computer & to use DAZ 3D Store account in Step 0.

    2) Download & install DAZ Studio (64 bit) via DIM

    3) Download & install DAZ Studio Essentials and all the Genesis Essentials from plain Genesis, Genesis 2 Female, Genesis 2 Male, Genesis 3, Genesis 8 & so on via DIM.

    4) After you do all that in the Content Library Tab of DAZ Studio listed under DAZ Products - Library you'll see maybe 6 - 10 folder that start with the word Shade - the cartoon shaders are in one of those folder.

    Moved to product suggestions as it is a request for, not an offer of, free shaders.

    'The day' started in the fifties, not the eigthies.  By the time I got into them (the early sixties) it was well established.   Gosh am I really that old?!
