Blender toolkit of cel-shaded skin shaders, manga hatch shadows and shadow color presets for toon characters.

What Anime Shader Studio does

Anime Shader Studio gives Blender artists a ready set of stylized shading tools for anime, manga, visual novel and manhwa style character renders. It replaces hand-built node setups with a bundled toolkit aimed at the Eevee workflow.

The skin shader switches between soft and sharp cel shading with control over shadow depth, threshold and softness, plus a Cel Steps setting. Manga-style hatch shadows use included TAM textures and can run in screen-space mode with scale and strength sliders. Shadow tint can be pushed warm, cold, soft or dark, and material presets speed up setup.

Key features

  • Cel shading with soft or sharp transitions and Cel Steps
  • TAM hatch shadows with screen-space mode
  • Hatch scale, strength and black/white level controls
  • Custom shadow colors with adjustable strength
  • Material presets for toon characters
