Sakuga Toon Shader Cycles & Eevee

---

Achieving that perfect, hand-drawn “Sakuga” aesthetic in 3D can often feel like a technical battle. Usually, you have to choose between the speed of Eevee or the ray-tracing power of Cycles. Sakuga Toon Shader eliminates that compromise.

This comprehensive shader collection opens up new artistic possibilities for your renders by offering full support for both Cycles (GPU Rendering) and Eevee. Whether you are creating high-octane action sequences or stylized illustrations, this pack allows you to drag, drop, and render stunning anime-style visuals instantly—no complex UV mapping required.

Key Features & Benefits

Streamline your NPR (Non-Photorealistic Rendering) workflow with a toolkit designed for versatility and speed:

• Cross-Engine Compatibility:
  Finally, a toon shader that doesn’t lock you into one engine. Enjoy the real-time feedback of Eevee or utilize the advanced lighting calculations of Cycles GPU rendering. The choice is yours.
• 100% Procedural Workflow:
  Forget the tedious process of UV unwrapping. These shaders are fully procedural, meaning you can apply them to any model—regardless of topology—and get great results immediately.
• Dual Lighting Modes:
  Every shader comes with two distinct lighting variations to suit your scene’s needs:
  • Metallic Lighting: Reacts dynamically to the camera angle. As you rotate or move the camera, the highlights shift, creating a glossy, “hero-shot” metallic look.
  • Point Light: Follows a designated target object. This gives you precise, standard toon lighting control, perfect for consistent character shading.
• Massive Customization:
  Don’t settle for a generic look. With deconstructed versions of the shaders available, you can tweak parameters to define your own unique art style.

Sakuga Toon Shader is more than just a material; it is a complete styling library. You will receive:
