list of Toon shaders plug ins please? :)
Hello ^^ everyone im new to this forum and
practicing 3D modeling,
who's commissioning some friends atm to make
some 3D character's.
there being modeled using 3D max and Zbrush, for a couple of
projects im planning.
here are some
renders of the characters WIP

the models progress
is ok but when it comes to textures we've hit a hic-up,
we cant figure out the toon shader technique
we require for the models over all look.
as you can imagine this is very frustrating for all of us.
i saw this forum
and had to request all known shader methods
known for toon shading,
what program is used etc.
maybe someone with experience with
cell/toon shading can offer some help?
or perhaps post some screen shots, of shaders that are mentioned
what effect they each have?
maybe offer some advice for modeling
anime characters, for my friends as well?
is possible to make them HD anime characters?
or something, that may have a similar look to this picture?

plus anything else that may work,
in case the style i have in mind fails.
but please, if you can refrain from mentioning blender and poser, as im not really
interested in them.
if i have to buy plug ins etc for certain programs,
if there mentioned to achieve the results we need.
i dont mind at all
but id like an idea of what there is out there
before i choose one of the plug in's.
in regards to toon shading this is what i have
found on my own so far.
Hinomaru 1.5 is a plug in for maya
http://www.sfgi.jp/hinomaru/maruIndex.html
looks perfect, but
may not work because
it uses Japanese OS, and has no english function
plus has no demo.
Pencil +3
http://www.psoft.co.jp/en/
a plug in for
3D max, apparently i heard it was used for Ghost in the shell
for 3D animations, unsure if it can accomplish what im wanting though.
downloaded the demo but didn't show allot of what its capable of.
found this shader called Xoliu
http://xoliulshader.com/
but dont know much about it
heard of this, also dont know much about it.
its called a Gooch shader might work well
http://area.autodesk.com/downloads/shaders?tf=9
but doesn't seem to be a newer version
especially for auto desk products 2011
and only seems to work for maya 2009
i recently found this one
Cebas FinalToon seems similar too Pencil +3 is it better though?
http://www.cebas.com/index.php?pid=product&prd_id=136&feature=1283
so yeah this is all i've managed to find so far, if anyone
can offer some advice i would appreciate that
and im sure so would my friends.
thank you
for your time. ^^
