José, as a Rhino user, why don't you think of Flamingo instead of Brazil? It should use the standard Rhino cam i think.

Flamingo is not the standard renderer of Rhino. It is a way outdated package but still costs some hundreds of $.
Brazil has very nice Toon shaders but it ranges is in the price-category of Maxwell too.

What jespi did however in his first experiments does not require Maxwell/Flamingo or Brazil.
The default Rhino renderer would do - or even a screenshot if stuff gets vectorized anyway.
Actually 2/3 of the effect seen here is doable by simply adding a toon map to the environment slot of the default
renderer. Only the hidden-line wireframe had to get overlayed. Check out the effect of this simple map http://senduit.com/849525

But I am not interested in such montage techniques. Do you want to do this for each frame of an animation?

This is actually a realtime viewmode with the file I just posted.

Brazil is a biased engine, and from my pov, you get similar results than with Vray or finalRender etc, so in fact it's a matter of taste!
I saw toon renders on the Flamingo gallery, that's why i talked about it, but maybe they are tricky, not sure

If you guys are looking for non photo realistic toon style renders from Rhino then Penguin is the program you want. I think that it costs less than $200 US and it supposedly does a good job of toon style renders. Hope that helps

i own penguin 2 and i can say is the worst render engine you can choose, why? because it does not work as it should do, i mean, a lot of crash when trying to do things that its suposed to be suported. Seems like the main developer moved to another company and they are not able to solve the bugs. so, i don't recommend penguin 2.

Caryjames, I agree with Jespi. Of course I'm familiar Penguin.
Therefor I know that this program is unsuitable for any professional work.
I have not seen a Penguin render yet which only looks acceptable.

But that's actually not my point as explained in detail in this thread.
Have a read...

Thanks guys- I was considering Penguin but now......
Polyxo- I did read the thread and understood what you were driving at just thought I might mention a workaround for you. Just for the record I do agree that it would be nice to have a toon style render inside Maxwell.
