DirectX 11 Low Poly Shader for Unity 2019.4, 2020.3 and 2021 is in development. ETA 30 June, 2021.
[Announcement: 19 June, 2021]
New Lowpoly Shader has been submitted for review.
-----------------------------------
DirectX 11 Low Poly Shader creates flat shaded/low poly effect.
Just apply shader to any mesh and it will be rendered in most demanded and artistic - low poly style.
DirectX 11 Low Poly Shader is faster and much more efficient than traditional ways of creating similar effect.
The only possible way for creating flat shaded/low poly effect nowadays consists in removing smoothing group from a mesh and require each face to have unique vertices at each corner, thus increasing total mesh vertex.
• 'Low poly' meshes created that way use much more GPU memory and as a result are slow in rendering (than original).
• Can have problems with mesh batching.
• Have limit on vertex count.
• Not all mesh types and features are supported.
• and many other limitations.
DirectX 11 Low Poly Shader has no such problems:
• Does not need mesh conversion.
• Does not increase mesh vertex count.
• Uses the same amount of GPU memory as the original mesh.
• Is faster in rendering.
• Perfect for run-time generated meshes.
• Has no limitations on mesh types.
• It just has no limitations.

Note!
• DirectX 11 is not required, only Geometry Shaders support.
• Before purchasing check target device compatibility with this test shaders.
• Supported Unity versions: 5.6.4, 2017.4.10 and 2018.4
