ok scratch that shader i found, it's not going to work with the style i'm going for, i'll have to make my own but thats all good, it shouldn't be too hard. To give you all an idea of the type of shading effect that i am going after watch this youtube video, it is called Apres la pluie which is french for 'After the rain'

Found it!

Ok so I finally found the Maya cel shader I was looking for. I used it in another project a while back and then forgot what it was called, spent ages searching for this and now I finally have it again. Woot! another thing can now be marked off the list, though chances are i'm probably going to have to make my own shader down the line...
