Product Description
Backlace 🎀 is a versatile anime (also called "toon", "cel shaded", or "npr") shader for Unity and VRChat. You will find that Backlace is packed with a wide range of features- from anime character shading, to screen-space rim lighting, to procedural glitter. Get started with a single click for a typical fully-lit anime character or dive deep into the advanced settings like Pathing and Refraction! (─‿‿─)♡
Heads up!! The P. Anarchy model featured in the thumbnail/preview is by Voidcakes and can be bought on their store page (https://voidcake.gumroad.com/)! It doesn't come with the package of course, I just use it as my model and thus it always ends up in previews~ please support them! 💌
