RealToon (An AAA Toon/Anime Shader and Stylized)

You are using built-in,
This might be the Ambient light or GI.
I recommend you to enable
"Receive Environmental Lighting and GI".

This is a new option to enable/disable environmental lighting/ambient light/GI
This has been added change on RealToon 5.0.6

 

Thanks so much. I sent you a DM.

 

thanks that works grate for the hair

the only issue I see is for portal transparency such as this vail
I try to set up a gray dithered cutout pattern bit its just disappears ,
basically
is all there or all gone I can't do something like 70~30% can I?

 

Hi,
Make it a gradient dithered pattern/noise not just one gray color value.

 

I might need an example of that one, could I send you a texture and you send back an example ?

 

Sure send it by email.

 

@MJQStudioWorks just wondering if you have any ETA for the mobile version? Thanks!

 

Hi the RealToon Built-In version has a Lite version for mobile use.
For RealToon URP, version, can be use on mobile.

 

Thanks for the reply, I’m using Realtoon URP for mobile at the moment. Sorry I should have been more clear, the 5.0.9 change log mentions lite mode for URP (which I assume is better mobile performance). Do you have any rough ETA for the new lite mode in 5.0.9? Thanks!

 

Hi,
It is 50/50 means there might be a chance to move it to another version because of the more time
and thinking needed, as of now we'll see if i can include it on 5.0.9.

 

Hi,
I look 5.0.9 update log have "Camera based dithering "
the featrue like when camera is closet model the material can fade out ?

 

Hi,
Yes i'm also planning that but it will also 50/50 to include it on 5.0.9.
We'll see.

 

The inspector is broken, will this be fixed?


Is it possible to have the features on top of the material inspector? It's really super annoying when you want to click multiple checkboxes, but they change position because of the inspector being extended whenever you click another checkbox?

 

Hi, may i know what unity version are you using?
Are you using the unity 2022 beta version,
Currently unity 2022 beta has this problem.

 

Yes, I'm using that one. Ok, thanks for the info. I didn't expect it to be broken tbh. I'll revert to a stable one for my first tests.

 

Can you please add namespaces to your scripts in the next update?

Code (CSharp):

1. //Swap Shader To RealToon
2. //MJQStudioWorks
3. //2021
4.  
5. using UnityEngine;
6. using UnityEditor;
7.  
8. public class SwapShaderToRealToon : EditorWindow
9. {
10.     #region Variables
11.  
12.     private string ShaderName = string.Empty;

I told everyone on discord that I'm deducting a star from a review when the asset doesn't use them. So I have to stick with that

 

*Hi, yes i was planning to add namespace on the next patch 5 0.8p4.
It seems all has this.
May i know why you want it to have namespace?

*It is a game?

 

Because with more and more assets you buy chances become higher and higher that you waste your time when you import an asset and have an error because 2 publishers use the same class name in their assets. That's easily avoidable. I wish Unity would enforce having a namespace on asset submissions.

 

That's why.
Thanks for the info.

 

RealToon broken in 2021.2.11f1 HDRP 12:

 

Hi Exeneva,
Try to reimport the realtoon folder by right click the folder then reimport.

Are you using RayTracing?

 

Still broken. Even updated to 2021.2.12f1, removed the entire package, and reimported. And yes, I did import the HDRP 12+ package.

Not using raytracing.

 

Thanks for the updates.

Try to create an empty hdrp project and import realtoon for troubleshoot/testing purpose and see what causes it.
If the error still there i'll do a checking here.

*The latest RealToon update is (5.0.8p4)
be sure you have that version

 

So I tried now in 2020.3. Would it be possible to fix the user interface? The usability is horrible:



I have to scroll down to enable features and try to find the checkbox that matches the same line as the text is. Suggestion:

* move the checkbox to the left before the name or at least to the right of the longest label
* or better: move it directly next to the feature itself and when it's activated show the content and remove the feature list altogether
* if one wants to show/hide unused settings lines, you can always make a dedicated button for that

The way it's now is just arbitrary and non-unity standard.

Thank you very much for the consideration! I tried several assets now and yours seems to be best. But I can't get myself around the proprietry user interface, neither do I want to reduce the review by a star for that, so I rather don't write one for now

 

Hi, thank you for the suggestion, I already planned to change/improved the UI, mostly on the next major release.
This UI look is entirely for RealToon 5.

On the next patch 5.0.8p5 there will be some improvements on the UI.

Thank you for using RealToon and no problem.

 

So I'm doing a HDRP project with real toon and randomly today my alpha cutouts started doing this strange reflection thing (See pictures). How can I fix this?

 

Hi, midgear
This is a current problem when in Deferred Rendering.
The cause of this is the GBuffer.
For now you need to increase the cutout value.

If you don't want to increase the cutout value.
just change the rendering to Forward Rendering.

 

Is there a way to do double-sided for the URP shader? I couldn't find the option for it anywhere. Thanks!

 

H, Drenyn
for double sided just change the "Culling" option to "off".

 

That did it! Thank you for the help!

 

Question; Does HDRP post-processing Ambient Occlusion work with the realtoon shader?

 

Hi, currently not but i already planned to implement it soon.

 

Ah damn, Okay. That will be a great addition to the shader. Thank you.

 

Hi everyone just a little question how do you guys have the shader clean with all the feature correctly in bunch for me all the feature are mixed randomly in my shader, plus just a little question recently i follow this tutorial to have custom shadow on face using a grayscale images is this possible to do the same with realtoon ?

 

Hi yaslack2210,
About clean shading on face, You can try to use the Smooth Object Normal/Ignore Object Normal feature,
Unfortunately not all model will work on this, so try it first.
Smooth Object Normal Tutorial

You can also try this one:

Sure i will try it thank you!!

 

Hello! im having a strange problem where when i try to apply the real toon effects to a material - the inspector is blank and there are no options. Any idea what i could have done wrong?

 

Hi, SquareEyesTaco
May i know what rendering pipeline is your project? Built-In, URP or HDRP?
If URP or HDRP, what version?

*Be sure, RealToon folder is in the root folder "Asset".

 

How can I create an x-ray type material with toon in HDRP?

 

Hi newguy123,
To create an xray style/look.

Enable Transparent Mode then change the opacity to something semi transparent.
Then enable RimLight feature, after that, uncheck the In light.

 

Hey, I really love the asset.

I currently have a day-night cycle in my game which has two always enabled directional lights (Just one casts shadows at any time), but it seems that this asset doesn't support multiple directional lights and just fallbacks to being lit by ambient light and other local lights. Is there a way you could add support for multiple directional lights?

I'm using HDRP (Unity 2021.2)
Thanks

 

Hi, thank you =)

About multiple directional lights.
Currently RealToon only 1 directional light can be use, if you try to use two it will use the brightest directional light.
I already planned to add this support, but it will take time because it needs to rearrange the shader code of the directional light, Only URP and HDRP.

For the meantime you can try to code the directional lights,
Do the fade and disable and enable directional light.
"Sun DL > fade out light value & disable and fade in & enable > Night DL."

**Take note, this is general or always**
Only 1 directional light can have or can cast real-time shadow.
The other one will just shade, no realtime shadow.

 

This is already the case.

This isn't feasible right now due to how the day-night cycle works, but yeah this is what I tried first.

 

one problem with this system is that it chooses the brighter directional light even when the sun is below horizon, so the object just doesn't react to the second light

 

"This is already the case."
- Yes it is.

*This isn't feasible right now due to how the day-night cycle works, but yeah this is what I tried first.
- You already tried it, maybe there is still a way to do it.

*one problem with this system is that it chooses the brighter directional light even when the sun is below horizon, so the object just doesn't react to the second light
- Yes, It follows the light value Intensity, that's how unity did it.

*Have you tried to use the unity sky override settings?
i recommend you use Ambient Mode "Dynamic" so that if you change the directional light direction, it affects the light on the object.

 

Hi, sorry for my noob question can someon explain me how to use the matcap ? i have some element in my texture that i want to make them look like metal, also i want to make some specific part of my texture reflect with light can i do it ?

 

Hi yaslack2210, here's an example of MatCap texture/map:


To enable MatCap in RealToon, just enable MatCap under the category Enable/Disable Features
then download that example image and apply it to MatCap texture slot and you'll see the result.
You can also do masking.

 

OOOOHH THats sooo coool i love your shader seriouslyyyy GOOD JOB !!!!!!

 

Hello,
Thanks for such a great shader! I was just wondering if there is a way to get a different texture patterns
within the shadow as shown in the example above? I am just trying to break the flat shadow with something.
Thank you!

 

Hi JanKrocak,
Thank you

To do that, enable 'TextureP' feature.
