The Basic Cel Shader Setup

• Use a “Color Ramp” node instead of the “Greater Than” and “Mix Color” node for cel shading with more than one light or shadow color
• Use a “Mix Color” node to add any of the other lighting elements from the “Shader Info” to the cel shader

The most important shader settings explained

Blend Mode: How the shader handles transparency

Shadow Mode: How the 3D light handles the shader’s transparency

Clip Threshold: At what amount of transparency the shader switches from opaque to fully transparent

Show Backface: Should faces that we see the backside of be shown as transparent
