Sorry to bug you again Halfdan, but do you think you could dig up a contour shader example for me?
We actually won that pitch (for a big german telecommunications company) so I need a solution sometime next week and would love to give contours at least a try...
If you can't provide something, please let me know too, so I don't wait uselessly (does that word exist?) ;-)
Thanks a ton!

P.S. I tried off-list mailing you but didn't hear back - don't know if you got it? Wouldn't have been the first time the Softimage filter ate my mail ;-)

The contour shading still relies on the point-sampled data, so if there is undersampling you'll still end up with missing objects and flickering lines. Dedicated toon rendering engines work from the geometry data itself and therefore don't suffer from those artefacts of point-sampling.
