So I'm the dedicated rendering guy at my consultancy... I use keyshot for all of the renderings we do. Here's the thing, recently we are needing to create instruction manuals for medical devices, and our current process is to export different views/parts in Illustrator format from Solidworks. This gives us line work, that we can change the stroke on, to make the images easily readable when printed in a black and white instruction manual, at small sizes. If I use a regular keyshot rendering, the detail is washed away and it winds up being really hard to read. I'm looking for some sort of CEL shader to use with solidworks... a pluging for Keyshot, or even another program. This is the look I'm trying to achieve:

Cel (aka Toon) shading is coming in KeyShot 4.1, which will be released by the end of this month.
Nice :)
+1! Would be great if it could be applied to a clear or transparent material.

Will this output vector-files ? Or only pixel-files ?

That would be most awesome for mounting instructions/manuals. ;)

The toon material is it's own material. If you want to control transparency you can do so by applying an opacity map.
It will out the standard KeyShot image file types.
Any updates?
