![[Unity Toon Lit Shader for URP (WIP)] +Anime Face Lighting option @colinleungNiloCat](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gcUCTLF5hwE/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded April 2020 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
After watching a 3D CG movie "HelloWorld", I decided to add an anime face lighting option. This video shows the new anime face lighting result.
No new texture required, no mesh edit required, all face lighting is purely calculated in the shader, for user it is just a new bool on/off option, it should be able to apply to most model without effort.
