Brazil from Splutterfish has a great toon shader material that gives you a ton of control.

Check out the Spongebob Ride film examples we did at Blur and Rune Spaans Hellboy example on their website.

Other packages have similar tools but I can only comment on rendering packages that I have used.

I remember reading a tutorial some time ago about doing cel shading in MAX with the falloff shader which will give you the result your after, but I can't remember where it was. I'll have a look around and get back to you if nobody beats me to it.....

I think this is a gradient material in maya, with a parameter set to surface angle. I don't have maya here so I can't check. Same principle.

In Maya you can use a Sampler Info node's Facing Ratio connected to a Ramp's U or V coord. Make sure to set the ramp to either U or V afterwards. Then make some sharp gradients in the ramp and plug it into the shader's colour. Yep, same principle.

I made a cell shading tutorial, it should help. http://www.bluesfear.com/tutorialframe.php?tid=312
The one that said affected by light, is the one you are looking for. Its all about falloff maps, there are no need for plugins or anything like that.
