Free one-click toon shading for Blender. Select your objects, press Make Toon, done. Your image textures and normal maps are carried over, and your original materials are never edited - Restore Original puts everything back.
Lite includes:
- Anime Soft look (shadow band + soft specular)
- Inverted-hull outline with adjustable thickness
- Toon Render Settings button (EEVEE + Standard view, so colors stay flat)
Want more? The full PD Toon Kit adds 5 looks (Hard Cel, 3-Tone Comic, Painterly Soft, Sunset Warm), rim light, specular and shadow tint controls, outline color, a reusable "PD Toon BSDF" node group and a demo scene: https://pixeldreamerstd.gumroad.com/l/pdtoonkit
Requirements: Blender 4.2 or newer, EEVEE.
Install: Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions > arrow menu > Install from Disk > pick the pd_toon_lite installer zip (inside the download). Panel: 3D Viewport sidebar (N) > Toon Lite.
