Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

🎮Check out the live web demo here for the Glass add-on (included for free)


🎁 This package is currently included in the Neko Legends - All 3D & VFX Bundle, Nagisa - 3D Model, and Mew - 3D Model.


🧍Knight Armor model with 4k hand painted texture included in this package on version 2.1+ to showcase mirror finish on metals


📦The demo scenes will not work unless the free Shared Assets Demo dependency is installed first.


I originally developed the Neko Legends Cel Shader to enhance my own games and products. Those interested in an affordable, high-quality Anime shader that also comes with glass and metals for Unity 6 have come to the right place.


Because I use this shader in my 3D model products, you can be sure that it will be up-to-date and additional features will be added when required.


This is my first Shader on the Unity Store, so I’ve priced it low to make it a good deal for everyone. Hope you enjoy it!


The 3D cat model included in the demo scene only contains 2 animations and 1 skin. See Mew - 3D Model for a more full featured model that includes this shader.
