## What it is
Unity-Chan Toon Shader 2.0 (UTS2) is a toon/cel-shading shader package for Unity aimed at cel-shaded 3DCG animation and illustration-style character rendering. All shading features (base/shade layers, rim light, MatCap, emissive, outlines) are adjustable in real time within Unity.

## Use cases
- cel-shade 3D characters in Unity
- create anime-style toon shading for games
- render light-novel illustration style characters in real time
- add rim light, MatCap, and outline effects to Unity characters
- make cel-shaded 3DCG animations in Unity

## When to choose
- You need a mature, feature-rich toon shader for Unity's built-in render pipeline
- You want real-time adjustable cel shading with layered colors, rim light, and outlines
- You are targeting Unity 2019.4/2020.3 LTS projects

## When to avoid
- You use URP/HDRP or newer Unity versions - use the official Unity Toon Shader instead
- You need bug fixes, feature requests, or PRs - the project is unmaintained and provided as-is
- You need a license - the repository has no license file, limiting legal reuse
