The toon shader is part of a non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) solution that is provided in combination with the contour_filter.

• The Contour Filter can be found in the Filter settings of the Render Settings window.
• When adding bump to the Edge, you should also change the Edge Detection to Shading Normal.
• Toon tutorials can be found here. A video that shows how to achieve a cross-hatching shading effect using the toon shader can be found here. A video that shows how to achieve a pixel art style using the toon shader can be found here.
• Information about custom AOVs can be found here. An example toon scene (with AOVs) can be downloaded here.

A toon example scene file of the Sophie asset can be downloaded here.
