Cel Shader Faux Lighting HDRP

Get the anime look with our Cel shader! It has false lighting, so shading's controlled by light angles/toggles, not external sources. No need for tricky lighting setups!

Given the limited simple support for low cost Cel/Anime shading in HDRP, I crafted one myself. I needed it to demo my other shaders that fit the stylized theme, like the Waterfall.

If you're an artist or 3D modeler selling assets and this shader fits your style, you're welcome to use it! Simply include it in your demo, link back to this asset(in the package upload section), send me an email after your asset is up for sale in the store, and I'll happily mention it in the description below to cross-promote your work.

Key Features:

• User-Controlled Shading: Directly manipulate light angles and toggles, giving you the freedom to define the shading without relying on external light sources.
• Simplified Lighting Setup: Achieve a consistently stylish look without wrestling with intricate lighting configurations.
• Save on Performance: We all know lights are expensive. Since lights have no effect on this shader, you can maintain a visually striking look without taxing your system, ensuring smoother gameplay and faster render times.
• Static Camera Optimization: Crafted for scenes where the camera remains steady, making it an impeccable choice for visual novels, asset demos, and more.
• ITS FREE: This is my gift to you and I hope it will help you one way or another.

For a more sophisticated Cel Shader that has support for lighting and outlines, check out our Cel Shader in URP. A pro version for HDRP is in the works but will take some time to develop.

Please note that the 3D Neko Cat shown in the video isn't part of this free package. However, you can find it included in both the 'Cel Shader in URP' and 'Mew - 3D Model' offerings
