I just read on the november issue of 3d world magazine that the new maya 7 has a lot of more cool features for toonshading effects including what i was asking before about it being able to render stuff from different render engines on top of that it has toonshading painteffects to cheat the effect much more easily.

I wonder if it has a toonshader as good as softimage XSI's Appleseed.

And about Flash, I am more comfortable with after effects than i am wih Flash for now. Well I have only experimented with flash for a few weeks so i haven't gotten the chance to fully get comfortable with it. I'll definittelly get back to flash later. Although it's pretty cool that we can make those SWF flash files in the vector rendering options on maya.
