NPR post-processing + per-object cel shading for Unity. 12 effects, 5 outlines, 37 presets, ObjectCelShading (rim, matcap, PBR, face SDF, hair). Built-In + URP + HDRP.CelShaderFX DocumentationCelShaderFX TrailerCelShaderFX Tutorialv2.1 update notes:Preset count corrected 10 → 37 (with thumbnails).Module count 8 → 12; surfaced Hair / Multi-Light / SSS / GI on the ObjectCelShading list (already shipping).Added Unity 6.4 + native URP 17 RenderGraph as a headline differentiator.Hero rewritten to lead with the per-object + cross-pipeline promise.Scene-wide NPR meets per-object precision — across all three pipelines.CelShaderFX Pro pairs the complete post-processing suite from Essentials with a dedicated per-object cel-shading system. Stylize your whole scene with 12 stackable effects, then take fine control of individual characters and hero meshes with the ObjectCelShading component — normal mapping, rim light, matcap, PBR specular, face SDF shadows, hair shading, and GPU instancing included.One codebase. Three pipelines. Per-object control where it matters. Verified from Unity 2021.3 LTS through Unity 6.4, including the native URP 17 RenderGraph path.Why CelShaderFX Pro?All 3 pipelines, one package — Built-In, URP, and HDRP, including native URP 17 RenderGraph. Switch pipelines without losing your settings.Unity 2021.3 → Unity 6.4 — verified across a 5-version × 3-pipeline compile matrix.37 presets, with thumbnails — Anime, Ghibli, Manga, Comic, Watercolor, Sumi-E, Cyberpunk, Risograph, Ukiyo-e, and more. Browse by sight, apply in one click, tune to taste.Post-process and per-object — global scene stylization plus dedicated character control. Most assets do one or the other.GPU instanced — ObjectCelShading uses MaterialPropertyBlock for efficient per-instance variation. Hundreds of stylized characters, no material duplication.Near-zero overhead when disabled — turned-off modules don't render.ObjectCelShading — Per-Object Control (Pro & Ultimate)Add the ObjectCelShading component to any renderer for dedicated, per-mesh stylization that goes beyond what post-processing can reach — independent of the global stack.Normal Mapping — tangent-space normal maps for detailed stylized characters.Rim Lighting — configurable Fresnel rim for silhouette emphasis and dramatic backlighting.MatCap Support — material-capture textures for quick, artist-friendly looks without complex light rigs.PBR Specular — physically-based highlights blended with cel bands for hybrid realism.Face SDF Shadow — signed-distance-field face shadows for anime-accurate facial shading that tracks light direction without artifacts.Hair Shading — Kajiya-Kay dual-lobe anisotropic highlights with flow-map support and a hair preset library.Multi-Light, SSS & GI — up to 4 additional lights per object, subsurface scattering, and baked lightmap / light-probe GI.Per-Object Hatching, Pixelation & Stencil Outlines — independent per-mesh control, including true stencil-masked outlines.GPU Instancing — MaterialPropertyBlock for per-instance variation; style hundreds of NPCs without duplicating materials.12 Stackable Effect ModulesCel Shading — Color-band quantization (2–16 bands), custom ramps, palette quantization.Outlines (5 methods) — Sobel, Roberts, Canny, Difference-of-Gaussians, and JFA cinematic outlines up to 64 px with glow and soft falloff. Resolution-independent.Kuwahara Filter — 4 variants (Basic, Generalized, Anisotropic, Polynomial) for painterly, edge-preserving abstraction.XDoG Ink — manga-style ink with Tangent-Flow and Edge-Tangent-Flow for coherent line art.Hatching — procedural, TAM, and geometry-anchored triplanar pattern cross-hatching.Halftone — Ben-Day dots, lines, and authentic CMYK plate separations.Dithering — Bayer, blue noise, and Spatiotemporal Blue Noise (STBN).Watercolor — paint bleeding, wet edges, granulation, paper texture.Painterly — visible brush strokes, canvas texture, impasto.ASCII Art — luminance-to-character rendering, mono or colored.Pixelate — early-chain UV snapping for clean retro pixel-art.Color Correction — 11 art-style grades (Comic, Manga, Anime, Watercolor, Noir, Pop Art, Vintage, Cyberpunk, Ghibli, Retro Game, Custom) + LUT support.Plus motion-vector temporal stabilization to keep dithering and hatching steady in motion.What's IncludedPost-Processing Suite (from Essentials)12 effect modules with full shader source · 5 outline methods37 built-in presets with rendered thumbnails · visual inspectorSetup wizard, Preview window, GPU Cost Meter, texture generatorsLayer / component / stencil object exclusionPer-Object System (Pro)ObjectCelShading component with custom inspectorNormal mapping, rim, matcap, PBR specular, face SDF, hair, multi-light, SSS, GIPer-object hatching, pixelation, and stencil outlinesGPU instancing via MaterialPropertyBlockPer-object shaders across all 3 pipelinesDocumentation & SamplesSample scenes for post-process and per-object workflowsQuick Start, User Manual, Troubleshooting, Preset catalog, Face SDF guideFeature Comparison[ E ] = Essentials | [ P ] = Pro | [ U ] = Ultimate12 Post-Process Effect Modules ............................................
