Hello,

im working at an effect like a b/w drawed comic with hard shadows.
Id it possible to realize these shadows on a object which has a solid toon shader? I just begun working with toon shaders, so it would be helpful if you give me just an idea how to solve this problem or anything that helps me understanding how to create such an effect.

thx for helping,
tm2003

Hi tm2003 and welcome to DT! Solid toon shader objects cannot capture shadows. So the workaround is to use a light angle ramp shader and make sure it has just one color (it starts off with two colors). If you want to know more about toon shaders and the like, check this out
