Can I edit the Toon Shader?

Yes. Toon Kit 2 was developed using HLSL, Sub Graphs, and Shader Graph. If you're familiar with Shader Graph and HLSL, you can customize it as you see fit.

Does Toon Kit 2 support Additional Lights?

Yes. Objects using the Toon Kit 2 materials can receive up to 8 concurrent Additional Lights, just like Unity URP's native lit shader.

Can you cast and receive shadows?

Yes. Toon Kit 2 materials cast shadows. They can also receive shadows.

Can I change the Render Queue?

Yes. Navigate to the material you want to edit, select it, then look to the bottom of the Inspector window for the Render Queue property. Note that Toon Kit 2 will automatically override the Render Queue that you have set when you change the material Surface from Opaque to Transparent, or if you enable or disable Alpha Clipping. You can simply set the intended Render Queue again once you have set up the material.

Can I control which mesh faces render (e.g., Front Face culling, Back Face culling)?

Yes. You can enable two-sided, front face only, or back face only mesh rendering using Toon Kit 2.

Toon Kit 2 renders my object with toon shading, but I only want to use the base color textures from the model. How do I do that?

You can hide the shading on the object by setting the View Options property. Simply look for the Advanced section in the Editor GUI, then click the View Options property and set it to Base Color.

My object is completely black when it's in shadow. How do I fix it?

You need to enable Ambient Lighting using the Toon Kit 2 Manager script (ToonKit2Manager.cs). You also need to set the Ambient Lighting on each Toon Kit 2 material to a value greater than zero.
