Late to the party, but thanks for these!  :)  

When I used these shaders, the cel-shading looks very harsh, but yours looks smotther.  How did you do that?

My examnple:

Crescent, or anyone, I am thinking about creating a Hispanic female character, so what I'd like to ask is, what would be the perfect shade for Hispanic skin?

My examnple:

Change the upper and lower diffuse bounds.  The closer they are, the harder the edge.  the farther they are, the more gradual the cutoff.  The readme (html) has little sliders you can see what I am talking about, but thats about it.  It was too harsh for me at default, so I modified those.

Aswesome.  Thank you for that.

I'm still awaiting a reply on what skin color should be used for Hispanic skin.

Yeah it's really hard to pick just one there, and there are a lot of options in the brown folder from Crescent's presets that cover a ton of skin tones. Also as mentioned there is a huge range when talking about even most common ideas of Hispanic skin tones.

All that said, you might start in the brown tones with numbers 24, 28, 25, 16 or 19. Try a few test renders and see how they look, and you may even try a few side by side to find the one you like best.

In Crescent's presets there is also a utility type preset called "Shadow8-Soft", you can also try that as a starting point. From there you can adjust the diffuse bounds like 3doutlaw mentioned.

Worth a try.

I know this thread is beyond dead and I'm necrosing super hard here; but your link doesn't appear to lead to anything. Is there any possibility you might be able to upload anew one?

I've redone my old pwToon cel shader presets, adding a lot more colors, shadow options and line width choices.  As with the original set, you're welcome to redistribute them for free so long as I get credit for them. You must own pwToons for this to work:  https://www.daz3d.com/pwtoon

Cheers!

 

I, too, hope that the presets will be available for download once again.

The link works, your browser is probably blocking the download. Firefox blocks downloading of the file stating that it may be unsafe, but it does give you an option to download. I've downloaded the zip and extracted it, the settings are there with a pdf ReadMe.
