Hi, thanks Ed for your experiments, they are quite good actualy. I have done a lot of try with lightning, some kind of threshold plugin in xara designer, levels, and always came back to the standard view of Moi. It seems it's the most efficient and straightforward way to communicate the model. Beside, the illustration in isodraw, is far more advanced.
@Michael, the illustrate rendering plugin for 3DSmax seems awsome. But a lot of investment just for visualisation. It ll be great to have more stylized types of illustrations like that in Moi.
I post a test with the treshold plugin of xara designer. Model from Grabcad by John Fall.

Thanks Paquicinno. Let us know what you end up using.

OK - One final version:

I changed the custom lighting settings in the MoI Options Lighting panel to get the shadows & highlights I wanted. (Copy your original settings before making any changes).

Then I made the adjustments in Affinity Photo per the layers shown on the right. This used a single screenshot and I set Halftone to 100% contrast.

Seems to me there was something like this directly inside MOI with the Dino effect!

I believe DAZ Studio is capable of doing something like this.

Nice results Paquicinno & ED! I'm doing a similar workflow, still using Illustrator CS6 and Astute WidthScribe. I use multiple duplicates of MoI's Shaded Background and play with different line styles and built in PS effects.

@Michael, in some future time, it would be nice to have a few transformable light sources and shadows (self shadowing Geo would be excellent). Not necessarily for realtime display but for Shaded Background output.

Nice job Dan. Those micro-swirly shade lines on the right image are pretty cool.

Looks great Paquicinno!

I'm still experimenting with MoI models in Affinity Photo. I have a couple of new techniques that look promising for illustration effects. I'll post if they prove worthwhile :)
