Any shaders to create 8 or 16-bit looking renders?

Are there any shaders or render engines/settings that can be used with Daz characters to get 8 or 16-bit looking renders? 

Something like this:

Well, IDK if this would be useful, but there's Voxelizer to create the blocky effect.  You can reduce colour depth in a decent image editing program.

I don't think this is something you're going to find unless it is an actual 3D voxel effect, as per Sevrin's example, but I'm assuming you're after a way to convert your render to pixelart.

If I were to try this, I'd render as normal, run the render through a photoshop action (like this), then shrink the image size, before enlarging it again x4 or x8 using Nearest Neighbour (hard edges) resampling. It may be worth experimenting running the toon effect action after the resizing, instead of before.

Thanks everyone, I'll check them out!
