Toon Shader in Unity Using a Shader Graph with Custom Lighting! ✔️ 2020.3 | Game Dev Tutorial

✔️ Works in 2020.1 ➕ 2020.2 ➕ 2020.3 🩹 For 2020.2 and .3: ► When you create a shader graph, set the material setting to "Unlit" ► The gear menu on Custom Function nodes is now in the graph inspector ► Editing properties must be done in the graph inspector instead of the blackboard ► In Lighting.hlsl, change the line "if SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW" to "ifdef SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW" ► Add a normalize node after view direction to fix a bug in certain Unity versions. Toon shaders, also called cel shaders, create a cartoon-like style with segmented shading. In this video, I'll show you how to create these shaders in Unity using Shader Graph. Features include: diffuse and specular lighting, color textures, shading ramp textures, shadows, and multiple light sources. The custom lighting techniques can be used in a variety of shaders down the line! 👋 Subscribe for weekly game development videos! ► https://www.youtube.com/c/nedmakesgames?sub_confirmation=1 👑 Join my Patreon for extra influence over topics, early access to videos, and downloadable project files! ► https://patreon.com/nedmakesgames 🔗 Check out my website for a searchable list of tutorials! ► https://nedmakesgames.github.io 🔴 Twitch ► https://www.twitch.tv/nedmakesgames 🐦 Twitter ► https://twitter.com/nedmakesgames 🎮 Discord ► https://discordapp.com/invite/ubxSVBK 📸 Instagram ► https://instagram.com/nedmakesgames 👽 Reddit ► https://reddit.com/u/nedmakesgames 🎶 TikTok ► https://www.tiktok.com/@nedmakesgames ☕ Ko-fi ► https://ko-fi.com/nedmakesgames 📚 Reference scripts ► Main light: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NedMakesGames/ToonShaderTutorial/master/Assets/Shaders/Includes/Lighting%20Main%20Light%20No%20Shadows.hlsl ► Main light with shadows: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NedMakesGames/ToonShaderTutorial/master/Assets/Shaders/Includes/Lighting%20Main%20Light%20Shadows.hlsl ► Main and additional lights: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NedMakesGames/ToonShaderTutorial/master/Assets/Shaders/Includes/Lighting%20Smooth%20Blending.hlsl ► Final version for 2020.2 and onward: https://gist.github.com/NedMakesGames/073fa3799aacbc67bf4979243955d671 ✨Follow up videos ► Spot light shadows: https://youtu.be/whmPkDp3dqo ⏲️ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:00 Project setup 2:10 Simple (diffuse) lighting 5:39 Shading ramp textures 7:54 Color textures 8:57 Shadows 12:10 Specular lighting 14:59 Additional light sources 19:31 Wrap up and credits 🎖️ Credits and references: • https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/animals/mammal/shiba-inu-dog-low-poly • https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-toroidal-knot-1258903 • https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-cartoon-tree-1213267 • https://freesound.org/people/Akacie/sounds/73723/ • https://blogs.unity3d.com/2019/07/31/custom-lighting-in-shader-graph-expanding-your-graphs-in-2019/ • https://alexanderameye.github.io/simple-toon.html • https://twitter.com/Cyanilux/status/1240636243060408321/ • Music by https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/ #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity
