I made this model in Anim8or for my game and I exported it as a .3DS model. When I loaded the model in DBC and had added the texture i found that it had lost its Toon like Outline.
Can anyone help me keep the toon like outline? Images below of the model in Anim8or and then loaded in DBC.

Make a mesh from the object. Add a limb to it from that mesh. Scale the limb to -102,-102,-102. Colour it black. Set object ambient 0. Hope that helps.

That sounds to me like it would create an all black 'clone' of the object to use as a limb and because it is slightly larger it will obscure the object entirely!

Your best solution would be to use a cartoon shader.

Nope Scraggle. Scaling it to -102 inverts the normals. Honestly, try it.
