Description: This is just one of the ways you can make easy backgrounds for your painted or cartoon-like images. Of course, this isn't perfect and probably isn't even one of the easiest ways. ;) It's just the way that I do things.
Description: The reason that 3D renders never look like traditional anime is largely because anime uses simple shading. Anime shadows generally do not become darker as they receive less light; an area is either shaded or it is not. Shadows are also usually hard-edged and rounded or triangular on anime figures, while realistic shadows do not have well-defined edges. Poser\'s Cartoon w/Line mode can create these style of shadows to some degree, and we will put them to use in this tutorial
Description: You can use the Z-toon technique on any type of figure in Poser, but I would recommend starting with either Lady Littlefox\'s Koshini or Ichiro (available for purchase here at DAZ), or the anime figures at Play With Poser (http://homepage2.nifty.com/zokeimaster/). Vicki and Mike work well too, but you will probably want to use a very simple texture (or even none at all) if you want a more classic cel-shaded look.
Description: Were you hesitant to use Bryce with DAZ Studio characters because of the process of exporting and importing? At first I was too. Bryce 6.0 has made it simple to add your DAZ Studio characters to Bryce and take advantage of the scene building abilities that are in Bryce.
