DL3D XToon shader

This is a cartoon shader (XTOON stands for extended toon shader) based on the articles from French researchers (Pascal Barla, Joëlle Thollot and Adrien Bousseau among others).

It is working as a mental ray® 3.5+ shader for mental ray® standalone, compatible with 3ds Max®, Maya® and Softimage|XSI® among others.
