Simplest flat shading?

For art style I'm going for (untextured polygons, very simple shading) I need some flat shading shader. None of shaders in Unity cut it for me, all give too much of a shading (too smooth). I've tried all shaders bundled with Unity and none makes the cut. The closest thing are Toon shaders, but those don't work exactly as I want as well.

This is the effect I'm (roughly) going for:


(look at that spike/mine thing), though obviously with AA applied.

This is closest I could get:



Not very impressive and I'm afraid that without flat shading shader I can't get effect I want.

It's funny how I need a shader for a thing that is within capabilities of OGL 1.0

 

You maybe want a vertex-color-only shader

 

On your mesh, just set the Normals to Calculate and Smoothing Angle to 0.

 

OK, Farfarer, that worked and I'll remember this tip for future, but what about Unity primitives? Due to simplicity of my level design I'll rarely need real models for building levels (except maybe for enemies/pickups), primitives will be enough in most cases.

 

Import a capsule, sphere and box, use those instead. You can't change the unity primitives.

 

I guess I'll have to. Thank you.

 

Yeah, there's no real benefit to using unity primitives over a simply pre-made mesh with the same geometry. It all winds up looking like the same thing as far as the engine's concerned.

 

If you are not going to be using lighting in your scene, then you don't technically need the normals at all.. and should just go with vertex colors... but it's probably not a big deal.

 

Yeah, I'll use lighting and since there will be some complicated meshes, vertex colors won't fit (longer time "painting" models).

The main reason I've decided to go with untextured meshes aside of that I like this art style, is how easy it is to make art.
