* DAZ Studio

This is a cute way to make little outlines for not so complicated pictures.

We'll start with these since they are easier. Load a figure into the scene. Don't add props because the focus is on the figure of a person so you probably don't need clothes. Open the surfaces tab located in the view menu, tabs, surfaces.

In the surfaces tab click on the arrow in the top right corner and select Show Surface list from the drop down menu.

Select your figure from the surface list. Set the diffuse, glossiness, specular, and ambient strengths to 0% percent. Set the opacity strength to 100% like in the picture below.

Pose your figure. Click on Render in the drop down menu select Render Settings. as seen bellow.

In the render settings box at the top there are two tabs. Click on the advanced tab. As shown in the picture click on Use Software 3Delight.

Now click on the General Tab. In the drop down menu by Render style click on Normal.

Now you can go ahead and render.

Load a figure into the scene. Pose it and open your Surfaces box (If it's not already open) Set the Diffuse, Specular, and Ambient colors to white and their strengths to 100. Set the glossiness to 100%. as seen bellow.

Now open the render settings box as before and select cartoon in the menu where you select normal. Now you can go and render the picture.
