Thanks a lot for clearing that up! ... I haven't even discovered the TOON efx that is built into Carrara- didn't even know it was there. I'' try it tonight- and will probably wind up getting Toon Pro as well.

As a longtime Vue user- who has been whinning, begging, griping, etc for a couple of years to get E-on to add these EFX (like NPR) into Vue- I am really stunned to find that Carrara already has what I've been wanting!

I don't see hardly ANY NPR renders being made here- point out any artists or galleries if you know of some--but I've spent two nights playing with the Carrara 5 NPR settings and i'm completely overjoyed with the artistic-illustration efx. Whoever wrote these NPR EFX was very clever and the settings are very powerful once you really get into them... Now- I would like the ability to add other brushes- or paper styles- like other PhotoShop filters have- like Virtual Painter.

Of course- rendering these EFX in 3D is the very best way- rather than using just a 2D filter set from Photoshop...
