About this asset

The Nakshatra URP Toon Shader Pack is a professional-grade stylized shader suite built specifically for Unity's Universal Render Pipeline (URP). This all-in-one package brings together powerful features like crisp object-space outlines, dynamic dissolve effects, toon shading, rim lighting, and full PBR support—making it perfect for anime-style, fantasy, or mobile-friendly games.

This shader pack includes two fully optimized variants:

  • A general-purpose shader ideal for soft, rounded 3D models like characters and props.
  • A sharp-edged optimized shader that maintains clean, consistent outlines on cubes, buildings, and other hard-surface geometry—eliminating the common outline distortion issues seen in stylized shaders.

It supports shadow casting and receiving, transparency, emission, and physically-based inputs (Albedo, Normal, Metallic/Smoothness, Occlusion, Emission), allowing you to blend stylized aesthetics with realism where needed. The dissolve effect is edge-colored and affects both mesh and outline for visually stunning transitions or death effects.

Whether you're working on a colorful RPG, a top-down survival game, or a cel-shaded adventure, the Nakshatra URP Toon Shader Pack will help you achieve high-quality visuals with performance-optimized rendering.

🎯 No render feature setup required. Works out of the box with URP 12+.

⚠️ Just disable Depth Priming Mode in your URP Renderer to ensure outlines render correctly.
