VRToon Shader for Eevee is a Shader add-on for Blender 2.8x or later.

With great flexibility, this shader is capable of making Anime/Cartoon style looks.

The main goal of this shader is mixing the goodness of PBR and NPR,

to deliver the best looks in any lighting environment.

FEATURES

  • Extremely easy to set up. 
    Comes with fully automated Shader importer / converter / updater.

  • Based on PBR Lightings of Eevee.
    The Shader generates NPR results from PBR shading info.

  • Works with all light sources 
    Sun, point, etc, and HDRIs.

  • Highly flexible Toon settings.
    Color, Strength, Sharpness, Shift.

  • Flexible Alpha transparencies.
    Texture, Material, Glossy

  • Can use Sphere Maps.
    Sphere Map is something like Matcap, typically found on MMD models.

  • Configurable Glossy factors. 
    Sphere Map, PBR Specular, NPR Rim Light

  • Configurable AO.
    Can twerk AO power by material basis.

  • Works on any color spaces. 
    Best fit for Linear color space but works great also on other color spaces.

  • All features are packed into only one node "VRToon".
    Just put your textures into the node and you’ll get a decent result.

  • Comes with "VRToon Manager" add-on.
    Fully implemented, automate and batch control on the shader. 

EXAMPLES
