>As a result, we have the program these guys are looking for. Any interest out >there? IPAS? I'm certainly interested in a program that could do what I described, but I'm not sure generating hidden wire frame removal would do the trick (maybe it would, but I don't understand all this stuff very well). Wouldn't this simply be a mesh looking object? What I really want (and what I think Sean wants as well) is a something that can outline the "edges" of an object, so that a cartoon like appearance can be made. Now, this could be with or without a video post (to combine an edge routine with a "flat" routine) but the key is the edge showing. If what I think you're talking about is what you have, if I had an arm in front of a body I'd get the edges of the arm all right, but I'd also get the mesh of the arm in front, which is what I definitely do NOT want (just the outline of the arm). But perhaps I either don't understand what you have, or maybe what you have can be modified somewhat to provide what we want. In that case, I'd be happy to pay the usual IPAS rate for such a beastie!
