Recently I’ve been working on 3d game designated for mobile devices. For this time I wasn’t very preoccupied with the performance, but the time has finally come and of course things doesn’t look good. I was wondering, as I’m using cartoon shading with threshold lookup light texture (with outlined silhouette), what is the most efficient toon shader to use with mobiles?
Maybe it will help to put the shader code, any tuning appreciated as I’m not a shader master
Shader "Custom/Outlined Diffuse Color" {
Properties {
_Color ("Main Color", Color) = (.5,.5,.5,1)
_OutlineColor ("Outline Color", Color) = (0,0,0,1)
_Outline ("Outline width", Range (.002, 0.03)) = .003
_MainTex ("Base (RGB)", 2D) = "white" { }
_Ramp ("Shading Ramp", 2D) = "gray" {}
}

v2f vert(appdata v) {
// just make a copy of incoming vertex data but scaled according to normal direction
v2f o;
o.pos = mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, v.vertex);
float3 norm = mul ((float3x3)UNITY_MATRIX_IT_MV, v.normal);
float2 offset = TransformViewToProjection(norm.xy);
//o.pos.xy += offset * o.pos.z * _Outline;
o.pos.xy += offset * o.pos.z * 0.002;
o.color = _OutlineColor;
return o;
