OT: NVidia Devs Working on Toon for Iray!

I just saw a preview of images on the Iray Dev Blog that toon is coming in Iray 2020!*

*Please note that this in no way implies that Daz Studio will/won't get it, which GPUs will be supported, etc. The post only contains 4 images and the statement "Quick preview of one of the new features in iray 2020: Toon!" I just thought it was cool and wanted to share it!

Wow, lighting fast realtime toon animations are coming!

I was hoping for more of a cel shaded style of toon. I'm not a big fan of the ink/pen look of that style of toon.

Sigh, oh well. I got overly excited. Still very cool to see.

The answer though was essentially no, it can't if you want accurancy in all lighting and material situations.

Thanks, I couldn't find the roadmap for future versions of DS. I found the latest beta thread but didn't go through 41 pages.

Maybe they are starting with this and adding other styles later. One can only hope!
