X-Toon: An Extended Toon Shader
Traditional toon shading uses a 1D texture that describes how tone varies with surface orientation relative to a given light source. In this paper we describe two extensions to the basic algorithm that support view-dependent effects. First, we replace the 1D texture with a 2D texture whose second dimension corresponds to the desired “tone detail,” which can vary with depth or surface orientation. This supports effects such as levels-of-abstraction, aerial perspective, depth-of-field, backlighting, and specular highlights.

WARNING: Read the Blender Artist thread to know how to use the nodes. Remember that in the texture text box goes the image filename with the full path, e.g.: D:\Blender\Development\BEER\Node_shaders\textures\2D_map.png

Written October 15, 2025I first heard about spino gambino from a friend who mentioned how addictive the crash game was. I signed up and immediately understood what he meant — that mix of timing and luck really gets your adrenaline going. I lost a few rounds, then cashed out perfectly right before it crashed, and that win made my week. It’s been my go-to entertainment after work here in Canada ever since.
Muchas gracias!
