This looks very nice, and very promising. What, exactly, is Filatoon? Is it a render setting built into Daz Studio or is it a separate product? I saw a bunch of Toon products recently listed, but non of them list a prerequisite for another product. Also, does it allow for pure b&w output?

Filatoon is a shader (well, a combination of a shader and a geoshell for the outline) that you use with the Filament render engine. The shader is available in the latest version of DS default resources, and you need DS 4.23 to use it.

Very interesting. Is there a tutorial on how to use this?

Thank you so much for the links. I'm not thrilled about needing to use a geoshell, but I am going to tinker with this and see what I can do. Thanks again!

I'm so excited about Filatoon! I'm planning on using it for my comic work. Here's the result of an experiment I'm doing with the Filatoon settings and the Filament Draw Options. This is a Filament render with zero post-work:

 

Is anyone else exploring Filatoon? One of my favorite parts is that it renders just about instantly - in about 1 second, even on my older machine! And what you see in the viewport is what you get! So cool!

It utilizes the Filament render engine in Daz Studio. It's pretty awesome. Here are a couple of threads in the Commons about it: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/704951/anime-toons-and-filatoon-shader-q-a#latest ;      https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/704931/filatoon-cell-shaded-rendering-with-filament#latest

And it does do black and white, just drop in a Tonemapper Options Node (Top menu: Create >> New Tonemapper Options Node). Select the Tonemapper Node in the scene tab then go to Parameters >> Tone Mapping >> Saturation (set it to zero).

Thank you very much! I'm going to give it a shot and see what I can do with it.
