wow it is amazing

I think this might be perfect for a racing game I had in mind. You should change the current asset store photo and replace it with the one of the glowing toys. Or even the anime character in the white outfit holding the giant gun on her back?

Hi sorry for the late reply.
Maybe it is =).

I changed/replaced the asset store photo.

How’s this compare with Toony Colors Pro 2 and Unity-chan Toon Shader? Since RealToon is made with Shader Forge, that means I’m able to analyse, modify and learn from it?

Hi QStudio!

Great to see you have instancing support now :slight_smile:

I am trying to achieve results similar to Peria Chronicles and Breath of the Wild, however this is my current setup:

1112×549 445 KB

Are there any values you recommend? Could you help me in any way with this?

I’m using the Taichi character model with custom hairs. The hairs themselves are just a solid color as I am trying to achieve cell-shading.

This is roughly what I want:

I’m not seeming to have very good luck tweaking the values. Notice how in these hairs it has a smooth black outline around the edges of the hair, with some rim lighting I believe (halo) around the top of the head.

Thank you.

No problem =),

Here’s an example of gloss texture,

Try to download that and use it for
Gloss Texture.

Its really easy to make that.
Its just an equal side image/texture.
Just draw white vertical oe horizontal lines in the middle just like the anime hair gloss.
Do it in your prefered image editor like Photoshop or Gimp.

hope to see a screenshot of this game soon.

Hi Pandur1982,
What RealToon version you used?

Here’s how to do it for realtoon version 4:

(For RealToon Version 4/V4 Shader)

[Directional Light]
[You can also do this in point/spot light but there are additional tweaks to do.]
[See **https://app.box.com/s/un0rga6boorbo90dkvadygsolzhuorgk **for point & spotlight tweaks]

Important:
1.Adjust “Intensity Multiplier” or Directional Light Intensity if the scene is too bright.

Note:
*You can use real-time light with shadow [low, medium or high] or none and you can use directional light, point & spotlight at the same time, its your choice.

The video quality doesn’t do it justice (Gyazo), but yeah.

Hi! I just bought your asset yesterday, and I love the results from it!

I’m having an issue, though, and none of the settings seem to make this go away. When I get close to a mode, I can see the background bleeding through the shader somehow. Any idea what might be causing this?

962×625 521 KB

It’s almost like the character is slightly see through or something. Here are my settings in case I’ve got one of those messed up or something:

Hi erpatton,
Thanks fo using realtoon,

All of the settings are okay.
Can you send me the texture of the model or the fox model with the texture? “If its okay to you.”
Just for checking. send it by email.

17

Sent!

18

I received it, thank you.
In my checking there’s no problem:

Did you edit the texture file?

Try this:
*Try to set the Texture/Main Texture to none.
If the problem is gone means the problem is in the texture.
If the problem is the texture, try adding a white background.

*Try set the Render Queue to 2000 if the problem is still there.

19

Can you make a tesselation setting tutorial?

20

Hi Kamil-Sobierajski

It’s easy just use the realtoon tessellation version then set the “Near” to the value you want.
Higher value means more subdivision.

Set your view mode to “Shaded Wireframe” for you see the tessellation/subdivision.
