just messing around, i found the toon shader and used that. came out good i think. any crits are welcome.

also:
i read the documentation on radiosity and i gt the idea of what it does but how to do it still is beyond me. if anyone has any free time, could you take a second and explain it to me? thanks.

you should read @ners tut on toon shading, it’s quite good. there’s a link to it in his signature.
