Basic TOON SHADER In UNITY Using Shader Graph - Unity Lazy Tutorial

Hi, I'm stealing the "Lazy Tutorial" naming from the great Ian Hubert. This is not a proper tutorial, more of a rundown of how I achieved this effect.
#indiegame #gamedev #unity

Custom Function node HLSL code:

#if SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW
Direction = half3(0.5, 0.5, 0);
Color = 1;
#else
Light light = GetMainLight();
game endif

if you get an error, try this (thanks to John Pitaniello in the comments):

#if defined(SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW)
Direction = half3(0.5, 0.5, 0);
Color = 1;
#else
Light light = GetMainLight();
#endif

Just incase you get any errors in the custom function, be sure to put #if defined(SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW) instead of
#if SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW.

Such a necessary video material, but an absolutely incomprehensible lesson for beginners.

[alexwilliams]

You keep showing every part in segments and not really showing how everything connects together. It's hard for me to follow personally

[mazander_man]

Very helpful explanation! Can't wait to see the post processing on it!

[sahilmishra]

love stuff at this level, fast and an overview of whats important to make a change to whats existing

[ShibaDogStudios]

Nicely done my friend! Very concise and well executed tutorial for a look I've been wanting to achieve for a very long time :D

[jaredrodriguez]

Hi I would love to just keep getting more content of this, this is something I've been looking for, for a minute keep up the great work

[LetsGoSalmon]

Love your videos man! Continue with what you're doing.

[jorgearturoalvarezcenal]

I really needed to understand this. Thank you!!!

[GogoDevv]

Adore you! This is exactly what I need! You are super cool as always! By the way, cool beard)

For some reason I had to write:
#if SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW
Direction = half3(0.5, 0.5, 0);
Color = 1;
#else
Light light = GetMainLight();
Direction = light.direction;
Color = light.color;
#endif

instead of:

#if SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW
Direction = half3(0.5, 0.5, 0);
Color = 1;
#else
Light light = GetMainLight();
Direction = light.direction;
Color = light.color;
game endif

Which it said in description, why?

[Fahrc]

Can someone help, i cant figure out where to put output of lerp, when i put it in base color just pink texture appears and material becomes just flat color

[Ratos-]

just wondering where the Lerp node is meant to connect to, its going off screen. any help would be appreciated.

[AlqueMeteor]

can you show how the final shader looks?

[danielhuwiler]

I noticed a problem, when an object is in shadow it doesnt get darker, do you know how to fix this, - also how did you do the black outline

[matteoburzi]

Could you provide a screenshot that shows all the links so that I can better understand how to recreate a similar effect?

[tinocaer]

I've found that when I sample the shading ramp the resulting sample is blurry. How do I make sure the colors stay distinct?

[neozoid]

Thanks for this .👍 but I didn't get how to create this ?? what to use and how?? Ate these in urp sprite lite shader graph ??

[dwjdwuk]

Hi, I’m a beginner of unity. Could you tell me What type of node is Fresnel Power and Fresnel Threshold?I couldn’t find appropriate node.

[abject_ladder]

Excellent tutorial! Is the fresnel the part of the shader that adds the edge outlines though? If so, they're not appearing for me.
