Yeah, complete with bad dubbing that the PowerPuff Girls consciously imitated with Mojo JoJo's non-stop repetition of himself in order to simulate the extra sylables the translators threw in to keep an approximate lip sync: "I am Mojo Jojo which is my name which I am telling to you in order that you should know who I am..." > What is the actual name of the technique?

It reduces the number of shades used to simulate the pen and ink style of animation drawing. Notice how the shadows on the faces in Skyland are still perfect even though there's only 2 shades. You can get that effect using poser objects as easily as using any other in Maya. The more interesting effects are when you apply outlines to the objects so that they look evcen more hand-drawn. Maya gives you the ability to randomly vary the thickness of the outlines as well as a few jillion other options. Unfortunately, I'm still using Maya 6, and the learning edition version splashes this gigantic watermark on everything, so I can't use it for anything except learning the interface (gee I wonder why they did that...).
