Did up a few models to test out this concept which I may use in some kind of future project.

Enjoy.

I like it. Is it some new renderer or a specific material like Max's Ink'n'Paint?

Nice either way - and certainly looks better than what happens if I attempt to use the Toon shader in 3ds Max :)

It's more like an effect that you can apply to the model itself in lightwave called Edges. It creates an inking effect under several settings. Silhouette Edges, Unshared Edges, Sharp Creases, Surface Borders and Other Edges (covers what the other 4 do not).

I've been just using Silhouette, Unshared, and Surface Borders with a line size of 1.5 to get the effect I wanted.

Very awesome, did not know Lightwave could do that, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Lightwave even comes with it's own cell shader.

Lightwave is one of the big three so it's no different in it's overall abilities compared to 3d max or maya.
