## What it is
A toon (cel) shader for Unity's Universal Render Pipeline, supporting layered shadows, SDF face shadows, rim lighting, and outlines. It includes render features for multi-pass batching and hair shadow masks in the style of Genshin Impact-style rendering.

## Use cases
- toon shading for Unity URP characters
- Genshin Impact style character rendering
- SDF face shadows for anime characters
- outline rendering with smooth normals in URP
- ramp map based shadows
- multi-pass outline batching in URP

## When to choose
- building stylized/anime games in Unity with URP
- needing face shadows and hair shadow masks like Genshin Impact
- wanting a free MIT-licensed toon shader with outlines

## When to avoid
- using built-in or HDRP pipeline instead of URP
- needing photorealistic PBR rendering
- requiring a maintained full toon pipeline like UTS2

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, game-engine
- domain: graphics
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
