Shading, rendering...faking?

Hi!
First I want to apologize for my english, it's not my native language so it will be a lot of speling/grammar errors in here ;)
The story begins:
After playing and testing torque for the past two years I am finnaly encouraged to start working on a game, so as the starting documents for torque reccomended i start to evaluate engine features that I need for my game. Of course torque is more then suitable and capable of doing (with a little help from me) the game I want to make. My team (TORQUE & ME) is confident that we are able to create such game.
But we both have one minor problem. It's cartoon shading or at least faking something like that ;)
I know that this was brought up a lot's of times, there is even some resources for this and i think that was used in produce panic game however some strange lines appear on terrain.
Marble blast also have similar look that I want to achive. Is that changed rendering or is it faked (I've read the docs but didn't quite understand....feel a little bit stupid ;) )
My question:
Do you know of any resource or anybody that have solved this, or can it be faked?
I am willing to pay for the code (if it's engine side)....but that's another story and it shouldn't be posted here...
Thank you all in advance. I would still be at the beggining with torque if you guys wasn't here.

Yeah, I saw that and it's a good resource, but I can't apply that on the terrain right?

Well I could fake terrain with textures, do you know of any other tehnique (preferably code).

In general there are lots of well known techniques on cel shading on the internet and in books; the only tricky bit is getting them to play nice in Torque.
