Render as line art?

I've been told that DAZ can render as line art, instead of me taking the render into GIMP to convert it to line art. Is this s, and if so, how do I go about doing it?

There are a number of ways, all with slightly different outcomes. One fairly quick and easy way is using Toonycam Pro; if you read through this thread, you'll see a number of different samples, hopefully one will be what you're after. .;-)

There's no out-of-the box way as far as I know, but there are various products that help to achieve the effect, like for example,

- http://www.daz3d.com/pwtoon
- http://www.daz3d.com/manga-style-shaders
- http://www.daz3d.com/mephistopolis-noir-shaders

I've attached an example of Toony Toon Cam Pro with bviewport and final render output.

if you ever decide to buy Poser it has a really cool sketch render

Wonderful! That's the same effect I was getting by converting it inside of Gimp, and this looks much better, without having to worry about the loss of detail in the conversion process. Thank you very much, people! Once again, you are very helpful.
I'm using Daz for comic creation, and so far the only one I was working on was finished in traditional media after the render was converted to line art. Now I might do a second title with the toon renders as the basis.
