Fully Light-Driven Toon Shader
ParaNormal Toon Shader is a procedural normal parallelization shader, an innovative NPR shading solution that allows a fully light-driven workflow and full compatibility with both EEVEE and Cycles, including GPU rendering.

Full support for the real lighting in your scene eliminates manual adjustments to materials, making it a breeze to achieve stunning toon rendering with subtle gradients, detailed shadows, and dramatic lighting.

Make your toon renders stand out like never before with a unique look inspired by digitally colored comic books and anime, while using the standard Blender workflow you already know.

Features Overview
Supports light intensity & falloff, light color, indirect lighting, and shadows from any light source.
Shader settings including diffuse, specular, metal, emission, and opacity can create nearly any toon material.
Includes multiple shader variants plus modular nodes to customize the shaders or build your own.
Customize the look with adjustable soft shading and procedural halftones.
Uses the standard Blender lighting workflow you already know.
Integrates with the Asset Library.
Compatible with both EEVEE and Cycles, including GPU rendering.

 Illuminate Your Creativity with Unparalleled Lighting
Say goodbye to dull, flat lighting! Achieve stunning visuals inspired by your favorite digitally colored comics and anime with lighting features previously unseen in cel shading.

With support for true colored lighting—no more faking it with “virtual lights”—plus light intensity, light falloff, indirect lighting, and shadows from any type of light, ParaNormal brings your scenes to life.

 Creating Materials is a Breeze

Between diffuse, specular, metallic, transparency, and emission properties, you have everything you need to bring any toon material to life.

Getting started is simple: Drag and drop a base material from your Asset Browser into your scene, assign a key light, then tweak the color and other properties to achieve your desired look. Whether you need a matte material like stone or skin, or something shiny like steel or glass, you can configure the shader with just a few clicks.

Try bringing in your own hand-painted textures to achieve truly stunning visuals!

 Customize Your Artistic Vision
ParaNormal is designed to be flexible and versatile. It includes nodes designed to work like simple building blocks that can easily be chained together to achieve a custom look, as well as a library of modular node groups for advanced users. Let your creativity flow and achieve the art style you envision.

 Choose Your Render Engine

Both EEVEE and Cycles provide incredible rendering capabilities. EEVEE offers blazing-fast rendering and ample flexibility for art direction. Cycles delivers more advanced lighting features, ideal for achieving moody, dramatic lighting with clean shadows. Choose the one that best suits your project’s needs and style.

Compatibility: Cycles for Blender 3.6 and up, and EEVEE for Blender 3.6-4.1. Rendering with EEVEE “Next” on Blender 4.2 and up works, but requires denoising with a separate post-processing tool for the best results.

 Revolutionary Approach
ParaNormal Toon Shader procedurally parallelizes shaded surface normals relative to the primary light source, providing a dynamic visual style that combines the look of 2D with all the lighting features of 3D. Experience subtle gradients, detailed shadows, and captivating lighting in your creations.

This revolutionary approach introduced by ParaNormal is similar to the manual normal painting techniques that have since been popularized by Cody Gindy and Alan Wyatt’s BrushFlow, but in the form of a shader that is fully automatic, does not require any editing of your normal maps, and is optimized for a toon-shaded look.

Say goodbye to the limitations of emission shaders, Shader to RGB, and OSL. Unlike other toon shaders, ParaNormal doesn’t require setting brightness in materials and works with both EEVEE and Cycles GPU rendering.
