That is some FANTASTIC work
I applaude you!!!
I have been wanting a toonshader for quite some time!
Question.
How do you make so say, an object has both the shader property, as well as a pickup property?
like a shotgun.

Is There some way to make A6 totaly render only toonshader? or do I have to apply this to every entity?

its in betatesting, but there are some problems i think

I am willing to help test

I have some great toonshader models...

I also have a realy fast method of makeing a model, and automaticaly generateing a color skin/texture, in just a couple of clicks Maby I will post in the help wanted section...

I use wings 3d to model, then I UV map it in wings, and VOLA! it takes all my vertex colors and paints tthem on a texture for me on the correct UV cords

The models could be totaly done at that point if I had a toonshadder!

here is a fun toon shader photo I made a while back in TS 6.6

BTW the models in photo are madein ZBRUSH... Except the big "Mech" in the background, I made him in wings one morning while talking to my mom on the Phone...

let me ask some stupid questions (I KNOW there is no such thing but I got to ask anyway):

Is this "fake shading" like using the fatboy shading idea with Milkshape or is this true DirectX shading?

Does it affect the FPS?

There, that ought to do it. You might ask why I would be interested, well I'm a "toon" kind of guy: http://www.newrev7.com/indexblog.html

This is purely a shader, its not a faking system like the fatboy trick method. There is no doubling of polygons or anything like that. Just have the item you want to be toon shaded call the toon shade function on a normal object and your good to go.

the shader does double the polygons! the second pass renders a slightly bigger inversed black model. the advantage is that you don't have to prepare the outline model yourself...

the shader does affect fps (every shader does!), but not much. other more advanced toonshaders would be much slower...

thanks for clearing that up (I think)... if that's the case then it is not a true shader in the sense of the DirectX Cellshading call (unless I am wrong again). Anybody else want to fill me in more?
