In this assignment, you will use a 2D concept art piece as inspiration to create a 3D Stylized scene in Unity. This will give you the opportunity to explore stylized graphics techniques alongside non-photo-realistic (NPR) real-time rendering workflows in Unity.

I want to use the toon shading effect rom concept arts at Reference 1 by ArtVostok Studio.

For the color palette I would like to use the high-contract rough sketch style in my recent favorite game Disco Elysium by zaum.

Custom toon shader with several parameters. I implement the specular highlight. User can select a shadow texture. I genterated a texture with Substance Designer.
To match my concept art, I use a rather wide outline for my character based on both depth and normal.
The outline color and thickess can be modified. I also use some toolbox functions to animate the outline.
ACES tone mapping is widely used in film industry to achieve natural looking.

One hightlighted feature for concept art is the border line around the frame. To get this effect, I take the Abs of the screen uv and compare it to some threshold. By making this threshold to an exposed parameter, we can control the width of the border.
Also to make the border line less boring, I overlay an extra texture against the straight border. The Color of the border can be modified by user.
Overlay a noise texture to mimic film grid effect.
