## What it is
A collection of Blender shader materials that replicate the cel-shaded look of Genshin Impact on datamined character assets. Distributed as a .blend file whose materials are appended onto character meshes and configured with textures and a head-origin empty.

## Use cases
- render Genshin Impact character models in Blender with authentic shading
- animate miHoYo-style characters with toon shaders
- set up NPR cel shading for datamined game assets
- create fan animations using Genshin Impact models
- learn how anime-style game shading works in Blender nodes

## When to choose
- you work with datamined Genshin Impact character meshes and want the game's look
- you want a free, community-maintained NPR shader for Blender 3.3+

## When to avoid
- you need shaders for custom-made or MMD-variant models
- you need a fully automated setup without manual material assignment
- you require 100% accurate replication of the in-game renderer

## Facets

- maturity: active
- function: graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics
