ZenLiner

Bored with Poser's sketch render output? Want to easily create a comic strip? Like the bold simplicity of a line drawing? Just want something DIFFERENT?

ZenLiner is a program which converts pictures to cartoon, line-art, natural media or other styles. These pictures can be from any source including photos, and the line-art often works best with Poser- or Poser-style pictures, that is, pictures with strong lighting and high contrast, with little detail in the background. But the best thing to do is to simply experiment!

When a picture is loaded, thumbnails that approximate the various effects are shown.

Note that these are only thumbnails that approximate an effect -- you shouldn't hesitate to try even those that don't seem interesting with some pictures, since it only takes a few seconds to render. Rendering takes place in a proxy window that shows the image at up to 500X500 pixels. Again, if the picture is larger than this, you are seeing only a scaled-down approximation, and you should click the fullsize icon if you want to be more sure of the actual result!

Here are some results of simply clicking a single preset, with no other post work:
