OmniShade MatCap is a free version of the MatCap implementation from OmniShade.
OmniShade has one of the best MatCap implementations you’ll find, with full support for normal maps, perspective correction, and integration with Unity’s shadowing and environmental lighting for Built-In and URP pipelines. Moreover, this carries over the same adaptive performance, calculating the minimal it needs, so that you won’t be penalized for normal maps or shadow calculations if you don’t use them in the shader.
What are MatCaps?
MatCaps are incredibly powerful, able to capture an entire environment’s lighting including all global illumination and reflections, in a single texture. Z-Brush 3D sculpters are well-familiar with the technique. Morever, it is very good in performance, allowing real-time rendering of lighting that would otherwise be impossible on mobile devices.
The only short-coming is the lighting is captured from a single angle, so even if you rotate the camera, it is as if the object were rotating in a static-lit environment instead. However for many games, this is not particularly noticeable nor a problem. See the video and WebGL demo and decide if MatCaps will work in your game!
