A proper Iray Toon solution.

vrba79

Any chance someone can create an easy-to-use Toon shader solution for Iray?

What is already available is either extremely complicated with inexcusably poor documentation(Sketchy), is a very elaborate multi-pass process(Oso Toon) or can only pull of one specific look "Dotify, Manga Marker Materials". 

I'd love to see something comperable to the late, great PWToon. And since Daz3D seems to be turning their back on 3Delight, us NPR peeps really need something decidedly non-photoreal.

Here is the best explanation of what you can use & examples available I've seen:

!JS Stylized - pwToon Presets - Daz 3D Forums

Since it's iRay it's slow. It's nowhere near as fast as rendering with PWToon nor does it look quite as toon style either. Closer to modern dithered Pixar 3D renders.

I don't understand how linking to pwToon presets is an appropriate response to someone asking for an Iray NPR solution.

Yeah, Iray is slower, but it looks like Iray is all we're gonna have when Daz 5 drops.

Based on what? I'm not aware of anything Daz has said to indicate that 3Delight will no longer be available.

well there is Octane if you have Windows, it has a toon mode, I am unsure about the free  tier

All I want is something like a shader, I don't want to have to download whole ass garbage like Ocatane or Blender.
