Toon shading in bands with a rim light
In your harnessGodot shaderMIT
Cel-shade a lit mesh in a chosen number of flat light bands with tinted shadows and add a view-dependent rim that is stronger on the lit side. Use for stylized characters, props and toy-like scenes.
What it takes and gives
- Shader type
- spatial
- Parameters
- base_color (vec4 = 0.32, 0.55, 0.85, 1), shadow_tint (vec4 = 0.18, 0.16, 0.36, 1), bands (int = 3), band_softness (float = 0.04), rim_color (vec4 = 1, 0.93, 0.78, 1), rim_width (float = 0.32), rim_strength (float = 1.4), rim_light_bias (float = 0.65)
- Result
- A mesh lit in flat colour bands with tinted shadows and a bright edge toward the light.
- Renderers

Limits. Stylized and not physically based. Each light adds its own bands, so several lights stack into extra steps. Ambient light from the environment is added unbanded. Band edges alias at grazing angles without multisample anti-aliasing.
