Getting Started

Setup

Setting up Toon Shader FX is really easy and simple. Just drag and drop the shader into a material and configure the shader settings until it fits your scene. Alternatively you can use one of the material already created in the demo and configure its attributes.

This asset works best in combination with simple textures. However solid colors also work well as shown in the demo scene.

The shader uses a technique called Cel Shading that makes graphics look flat by using less shading color instead of a shading gradient like normal gradient does.
