Thanks,
>> black-and white pen/line-drawing cross-hatched
Good thought...I'll run a few and upload for comparison. If I had a large format
printer, I could hand draw the edges and shading as a vellum overlay
- overtop of the printed POV rendering.

Not sure how to get the edge and cel-shade look directly from POV. Yesbird was
working on some type of POV cartoon shader look, I think?

Attached is styled with posterized shadows with a 1/2 tone process dot per Sam's
suggestion - thanks Sam. I'm liking the comic book feel. I also removed the
reflection pass to reduce the busyness, especially in the pipes. Will continue
to play with this.
Mike.
