Unity Toon Shader (UTS3) is a set of toon/cel-shading shaders for Unity, supporting the Built-in, Universal, and High Definition render pipelines. It provides detailed color design controls such as base and shading colors, highlights, rim light, emission, and MatCap for cel-shaded 3D-CG animation and games.

Use cases

• create cel-shaded characters in Unity
• toon shading for anime-style 3D games
• apply color design specs to light and shadow areas
• add rim light and MatCap effects to characters
• migrate from Unity-chan Toon Shader 2.0
• produce cel-shaded 3D-CG animations

When to choose

• building anime or cel-shaded games or films in Unity
• you need consistent toon shading across Built-in, URP, and HDRP pipelines
• you need fine-grained control over shading colors independent of scene lighting

When to avoid

• you need realistic PBR rendering rather than stylized toon shading
• your project does not use Unity
• you need features unsupported by your specific render pipeline
