## What it is
A stylized/toon water shader with material presets for the Unity game engine. It provides drop-in materials that can be applied to water plane meshes to achieve a stylized water look.

## Use cases
- add stylized water to a Unity game
- toon-shaded water shader for Unity
- water material presets for low-poly or cel-shaded scenes
- make a lake or ocean look stylized in Unity
- replace standard water materials with toon water

## When to choose
- you are building a Unity game with a stylized or toon art style and need water visuals
- you want a free, ready-made water shader with presets instead of writing ShaderLab yourself

## When to avoid
- you need realistic, physically-based water rendering
- you are not using Unity as your game engine
- you need actively developed features or support for the latest Unity render pipelines

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, game-engine, animation
- domain: graphics
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
- tags: unity, shader, stylized-water, toon-shading, vfx, material-presets, game-development
