How To Create A Toon Shader using Shader Graph in Unity

[@styxrakash4639]

I watched your 2d unity RPG tutorial back in 2018-2019 or so (when I viewed it, I believe you released those videos even earlier) and I am now a comp sci major in college. I even built a VR game in unity. I just wanted to return to share some love with you James, thanks for kick starting me and not neglecting the code when you teach!

This is by far the simplest toon shader setup, while still looking great! Thank you for putting this together. How simple would it be to add some normal map information to this shader? I ended up making something similar, but I'd like to incorporate the normals for a bit more texturing

I can't find the Main Light Direction node, I checked my pipeline, it is URP. Does anyone know what the problem is?

[@aPerson21313]

same here

[@luluskuy]

Create custom node, then insert the custom code to get the light direction

[@jamesgames2474]

how do you make an unlit shader graph in unity 2022.3.27f1?

[@karole5646]

Thank you. i hope you could show how to create outline too, because it's very common with cel shading

[@ratk1ngg]

i belive you can make a simple outline by plugging a Fersnel Effect node with default settings to a Step node wit a value around **0.5** out put will be a white out line that you can use however you want for excample multiplying that with its own color, then multiplying that with this tutorials own output

[@ratk1ngg]

nevermind the excample it just makes the outline be the only thing with color and texture

Hello, just wanted to ask how could you make it where the shadows casted by an object or any baked lighting affects the shader as well? I've been trying to make a cellshading shader for the environment as well but I cannot find any resources online on how to do that.

[@jasperfarmer9774]

Nice tutorial, how would one include casting and receiving shadows?

[@hipperdiscuits]

I'm also wondering about this. I just bought your course on Udemy and the toon shader section doesn't cover it. Any chance we could get an update?

[@B4NTO]

Well done :D thank you so much. a question I have is that sometimes for example my trees would switch on and off their shadow from no celshading shadow to celshading shadow back and forth really quickly. What could be good solution so it looks more natural and smooth

[@lucutes2936]

Are you using URP render pipeline to get those shadows? For me no light sources work except for sun and direction lights, and no post processing works for me.

[@fabarizu]

thank you so much!! ❤

Hello! Am working on a game project andd I'm wondering how the materials for the characters are made? We're trying to implement the toon shader in our game but we can only add one material with one color for now :/ All help is appreciated!

[@mi_zo_mizo9274]

there is no shader graph in the create menu for me

[@nilayg6807]

Hey! Would this work in VR properly? and also if your Udemy course also works for VR cause from what I understand not everything can be supported on android apk

[@Nev182mang]

Good stuff! Thanks

[@DRE_WW]

Awesome video

[@suicune2001]

Thanks! I've been meaning to learn how to do shaders. They seem like they can do really cool things.

[@gamesplusjames]

They're lots of fun once you wrap your head around the basics!

[@RoyZenth]

James, I've used your tutorials and courses for a while, and enjoyed them. However, given the change in Unity, I worry I've wasted years learning something that now is monetarily not a viable option anymore. I want to switch to Godot, but I worry I've wasted time with the wrong program and starting over from scratch will end my motivation. Do you have any courses on Godot or any way to help? Thank you

[@RofiyatYetunde-lh4yj]

Hello, I'm getting in touch to explore a business chance linked to your Udemy class. Our goal is to boost your course's visibility, draw in additional learners, and foster favorable feedback. Can we set a moment to delve into this more deeply at your soonest availability?

main light gives an error and makes the material purple, I am so unbelievably sick of unities shit
