[Important Notes/Tips]
* If you want high performance game, Change Shadow Type to Soft Shadow or
Hard Shadow, Change Shadow Resolution to Low for softer Received Shadows or just change
Shadow Type to No Shadow and use Self Shadow instead,
- Or do your own high performance settings/preference.
*For Best Anime/Toon Look (For Animations & Illustrations/Arts), Adjust Light Bias to 0.01,
Change Shadow Type to Hard Shadows and change Shadow Resolution to High or Very High
Resolution.
- Change also Shadow Projection to Close Fit, Shadow Cascade to Four Cascades and adjust
Cascade Splits until you get the highest quality shadow. (Edit-> Project Settings -> Quality).
- Adjust also Shadow Distance for you to see all shadows in the scene.
- If you want custom shadow resolution, just add the included Custom Shadow Resolution script
to your light source. (Add Component -> RealToon -> Tools -> Custom Shadow Resolution)
*For clean shade, use Smooth Object Normal. (This feature is still experimental but you can use it.
A-bit tricky to use but the result is great.) (Useful for anime/cartoon style clean shade face.)
- See page 23 – V for tutorial on how to use it.
* Don’t adjust Self Shadow Size beyond 0.85 if Received Shadows is turned on in your object
because Received Shadows weird edge will be visible.
*You can use Directional Light as ambient light or you want the shadow to be affected by lights,
just check or enable Light Affect Shadow.
*If you want to adjust the Environmental Lighting intensity in your character/object or you don’t
want your character/object to be affected by it, just adjust Environmental Lighting Intensity.
*Adjust Light Falloff Softness If you want an Anime/Cartoon like light falloff.
*If you want your transparent object have outline, use Fade Transparency then enable outline.
- Adjust also the Reduce Outline Backface to see though.
*If you want your low poly objects or character to high poly and smooth,
Use RealToon Tessellation Version.
- Note that tessellation only works on DX11/12 to up, OpenGL Core, OpenGL ES 3.1 mobile &
PS4/XBoxOne and Shader Model 4.6 to up.
*You can use Self Lit for object emission/self illumination, can also use it with post
processing/image effects Bloom.
- You can also use Self Lit as Unlit.

[Other info]
*You can now reduce real-time shadow of an object – material without affecting other
objects/parts shadow by using Reduce Shadow feature.
- Take note, you need to adjust the Directional Light or Spotlight Bias to more than 0 when
adjusting Reduce Shadow (Spot & Directional Light).
*RealToon now comes with Frame By Frame Rendering for Animation/Illustration use.
- A simple scripts to render each frame into PNG File.
- Just like tradition animation frame by frame workflow.
*RealToon can receive GI & Sky light/Environment Lighting.
- If you want your object/character to receive GI Lighting, Use Light Probe.
- If you want your object to have real-time reflection, Use Reflection Probe.
*RealToon is now support Nintendo Switch,
Xbox One & PS4 is already supported but these two consoles needs to be tested first to know if its
fully working or not.
*You can now hide Directional, Point & Spot light shadows. This feature works just like un-
checking “Received Shadows”.
*Can now be use in 2D games.
*Fade Transparency now has Outline and shadow affected by texture transparent or alpha.
*You can use RealToon V5 in VRChat but it still needs more testing.
*For VTuber use please contact me for some additional info and what to do.
*Self Shadow can now be affected by Light Shadow Strength.

(Frame By Frame Rendering Notes/Tips)
*For Frame By Frame Rendering Both (Default & Manual)*
1. You can pause rendering by click pause button.
2. Stop render immediately by click play button again.
3. You cannot start render if the folder has files on it so you need to change the Path Folder to another
location or folder. (Applies only to Non Picture Mode & Single Frame Mode)
4. You can start render even if the folder has files on it. (Applies only to Picture Mode & Single Frame
Mode)
5. You can create folder by just putting a folder name that is not yet exist in the current location/path.
(Applies to Path Folder)
6. To set the resolution just set it in the Game view or Game panel.
*For Frame By Frame Rendering (Manual)*
1. Click Render to start render, once clicked it will turn back to unchecked means render 1 frame not
continuous unlike Frame By Frame Rendering (Default).
2. You can overwrite a specific saved frame by setting the Frame Number to the frame number you
want to overwrite then click Render. Be sure that frame number is in the folder. Be careful not to double
the Render or else it will overwrite the next frame number that is already saved.
*For Frame By Frame Rendering (Default)*
1. Click play button to start render, once the button is clicked Current Frame will start moving or display
the current frame once the Current Frame reached the Start Frame number it will start rendering then
later if Current Frame reached the Start Frame number it will stop render. To completely end rendering
click play button.
2. If you render a scene with timeline, set Frame Rate to the frame rate of timeline. Example “Timeline
frame rate is 60 = Frame By Frame Rendering (Default) Frame rate is also 60”. If the two is not equal the
output is not synchronized especially if you edit it in your Video Editor Software or Compositor Software.

(For Importing PNG files to your Video Editor or Compositing Software)
1. Import PNG files as PNG Sequence or Image Sequence, be sure your video editor or compositing
software has this features or option. Be sure PNG files are numbered frames like “Frame 0002 to Frame
9000 or higher”.
2. Change the imported PNG Sequence or Image Sequence file frame rate to the frame rate you set in
your Frame by Frame Rendering Settings.

[Notes & Tips]
A. You can control the properties of the shaders in your code.
To see/access the shader properties, just go to RealToon Shaders folder and select the shader
you want to access.
If you want to know how to access shader properties by code, just go to unity3d manual script.
B. Disable Outline if your object/s don’t need outline or if you don’t want to use outline and want
less draw calls or want to use a 3rd party image effects outline.
C. Note that tessellation only work on DX11/12 to up, OpenGL Core, OpenGL ES 3.1 mobile &
PS4/XBoxOne and Shader Model 4.6 to up.
D. You can now use RealToon together with Unity3D Standard Shader.
E. RealToon can now receive GI, skylight/environment light & can do baked/real-time reflection.
F. You can use ShadowT as 2nd self shadow/shade.
G. You can use both use Directional Light & Point – Spot light at the same time.
H. If you want a manga/comics looks, use Shadow PTexture and use a half tone texture.
I. Always Change the Overall Shadow Color to white if you want to color other shadow features
like ShadowT & Self Shadow.
J. Use Light Affect Shadow if you want your shadow to be affected by lights.
K. Fade Transparency & Refraction doesn’t receive shadows.
L. Refraction doesn’t have outline for some reason.
M. Make your normal map smooth for better shading details.
N. Use ShadowT for more detailed shadows like the shadows on a cloth or hair.
O. For better anime/toon shadow/shading, edit the Vertex Normal of your model by editing it to
your 3d modeling software or you use Smooth Object Normal feature.
23

User Guide
P. Smooth Object Normal is still experimental and might not work in some objects/characters.
Q. Use Custom Light Direction if you don’t Self Shadow & ShadowT to not follow Light Direction
or blend the two Custom Light Direction & Light Direction. Useful for anime style faces.
R. If you want your transparent object to have ouline, just enable Outline and then adjust Reduce
Outline Backface.
S. Use Outline Offset if you want to adjust the outline position or want a silhouette outline effect.
