You are correct, inkulator uses surface normals and a rotating "light source" to figure out the inking. This saves me the effort of writing a publication. I can now spend my time more productively-- like finding a name that doesn't offend the EU.
It is true you need to create the models, but Poser 4/5 ($150 -250) comes with models, and there is a HUGE after market of retailers who sell the stuff. Every model you see on the front page was obtained from a third party, and the human figure for the elf with the swords cost $20 and the costume $5. The human figure can be reused.
I've yet to build a single model for any of the the inkulator testing I'm doing.
