Toon Dinosaurs

Hi all... I've been trying to find Toon Dinosaurs to use in Daz Studio.

Any ideas where to find them? Daz has some cute animals, farm ++, but haven't found any toon dinosaurs :(

    I cannot recommend specific items at the moment (though maybe later I can test a few and post samples), but probably a good percentage of the regular dinosaurs would become reasonable toons if given toon shaders.

    @rezca just threw this together, so maybe they'd consider making something for you.

    Okay, I did a quick test. I used the Alamosaurus and it worked well with a toon shader in Iray, 3Delight, and Outline modes.

    What toon style are you looking for? Cute cartoon like The Land Before Time; or realistic proportions such as Herschell Hoffmeyer's dinosaurs available in store, with intent to render with a toon shader? Or something inbetween such as Disney's Dinosaurs 3DCG movie?

    Prefer cute cartoon characters (Illistrating a children's book - 1st of 6 books with different story lines :D), although I did find this one: Rex HD for Genesis 8.1 Male | Daz 3D that would work well with posing and shaders. Will be using 3D Universe's Toon Characters. Toon Generations 4 Mega-Bundle for Genesis 8 | Daz 3D, Toon Generations Mega-Bundle for Genesis 8 Male(s) and Female(s) | Daz 3D for the human characters

    Some older dinosaurs such as the Apatosaurus, Styracosaurus, Protoceratops, and Pteranodon might also work. They are old Poser models (which still work well in Daz Studio) and the textures will need some tweeking. You've likely already seen it, but there's also Raptor HD for Genesis 8.1 Male.

    Hope everything works out well with your children's book. I'd like to see it when it's done. Dinosaurs are some of my favorite animals.

    Thank you! I'm excited about it too LOL.

    I already have the Raptor and the older dinosaurs.

    I think older models might work better for this purpose, even; simpler shapes and inaccuracy sells 'toy' to me
