Cheers guys.

I find turn table animations boring and because of the shape of this thing it pops in and out of the screen. I did one before for this guy - its on a old show reel I`ll try and dig it up.

Yes Toon shader, mental ray contour rendering and Occ layer. The tut is sort of worth it. It covers getting the lines right and how to get the toon just right which I cant really find anywhere else, but the setting are not that hard to be honest.
