Recently watched shit TONS of anime and captivated by the cel shaded background / architecture art style. I always trying to do realistic render but at times, cel shaded feels better. So is wondering what tools required for cel shaded (ala anime) style render....

Currently working on Sketchup, Vray, TheaRender.

What are the tools anime artist commonly used? Blender & 3DMax surely aren't my thing... Any hints is appreciated, thanks.
