ToonForge.apply_preset($Mesh, ToonForge.load_preset("anime"))   # material + outline in one call

What is inside

• 18 shaders: toon ramp (N bands, soft or hard edge, specular blob, rim), gradient-ramp toon, inverted-hull outline, rim light, object-space halftone, object-space hatching, toon fog, toon metal, stylized water, ripple water, stylized sky with sun, moon, stars and clouds, cloud layer, grass sway, dissolve, hologram, ice crystal, lava, energy shield.
• 24 presets (anime, toon soft/hard, clay, steel, gold, comic halftone, noir hatch, ocean, dawn/day/night sky, lava, ice, hologram, shield and more) as editable resources.
• One-call helper ToonForge.apply_preset, a time_of_day helper that keeps sky and sun in step, dissolve and shield tweens, and a ToonRipples node for water.
• Real lighting: surface shaders use Godot's light(), so they react to directional, omni and spot lights and shadows.
• Three demos: preset showcase, a small world (island, sea, sky, clouds, grass, time-of-day slider), and a sandbox that builds a slider/colour panel for every uniform of any preset.
• Docs: README with every shader, a uniform-by-uniform reference that the tests check against the real shaders, outline limits, lighting notes, troubleshooting.
• Typed GDScript with doc comments; a headless test script is included.

These are 3D materials and sky shaders, not full-screen post effects: there is no screen-space outline, halftone or hatching pass.

Honest testing note

Built and tested on Godot 4.7 stable (Linux). A headless test script with 221 checks passes: all 18 shaders and 24 presets load, every preset only sets real uniforms, the uniform documentation matches the shaders exactly, the one-call helper sets and clears outlines, sky/time-of-day, ripples and tweens behave, and all three demos run. All 24 presets were rendered in Forward+ (Vulkan) and GL Compatibility on an RTX 2060 with Godot 4.7, with no shader or engine errors, and the screenshots on this page are real captures from the demos.
