Toon Shaders for Vicky4
By request, I just finished and uploaded the toon shaders for V4. If you’re a Poser user, check it out over on the jwToon page.

jwToon: Poser Shaders for Comic Artists
My main workstation has been down for a few days, and I haven’t been able to get to the files for Ankhammentu, so I put some time into finally finishing up my first set of Toon Shaders. This has been a great project, because I learned a lot about Poser’s toon materials in the process. [...]

Poser Content Must-Haves
For any new Poser users out there, I put together a list of the most essential pieces of content in my runtime. I bought a lot of content over the last year, and some pieces I never used in a render because they’re too hard to pose, or because they don’t look right in a render.
