Materials - Toon Shader Materials

Toon Shaders are an alternative to PBR materials.

Despite the name, toon shaders are not necessarily only used to achieve a "cartoony" look.
Rather, toon shaders are used to achieve stylized look, which can include cartoony looks, but doesn't have to be.

Toon shaders are becoming increasingly common, particularly in recent years after the success of multiple unrelated, extremely stylized animated movies.
