A lightweight, stylized cartoon toon water shader for Unity 6 URP, featuring refraction, foam, caustics, and advanced Unity Toon Shader outline compatibility.Enhance your stylized or anime-themed games with this lightweight, high-quality cartoon water surface effect! Built exclusively for the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) in Unity 6, this shader combines vibrant visuals with advanced technical solutions that are often overlooked in other water shaders.Key Highlights:- Advanced UTS Compatibility: Solves a common issue where character outlines get unnaturally distorted by water refraction. Includes a customizable "ReFraction Edge Tolerance" parameter to keep your anime character models looking perfect on the water surface.- Physically-Based Shadow Integration: Standard toon shaders often suffer from global specular glare or constant coloring under shadows. This shader handles lighting and shade accurately—test it out under the rooftop in our included Demo scene!----------------------------------------------------------------------Step-by-Step Video Tutorials (Supports YouTube Auto-Translate)----------------------------------------------------------------------Want to learn how this shader graph was built from scratch or study the underlying technical logic?
