The Procedural Toon Metal Shader is a premium-quality, stylized halftone metal material created entirely in Blender 3.5.1, designed specifically for Cycles Render Engine. Inspired by classic comic books, pop art illustrations, and Japanese manga inking styles, this shader brings a dynamic halftone dot pattern combined with bold toon shading, making it perfect for non-photorealistic rendering (NPR).

Whether you are creating comic-style animations, game-ready assets, stylized product renders, or educational demos, this shader is a drop-in solution for achieving a unique, high-contrast visual style. Its fully procedural node setup ensures infinite resolution independence, eliminating pixelation issues and allowing unlimited scaling without loss of quality.

• 100% node-based—no external textures, ensuring faster rendering and easy portability.
• Procedural halftone pattern adapts dynamically to object scale and camera distance.
• Works seamlessly in both Cycles and Eevee, with identical results.
• Clean, professional node structure for easy modification.

• Base Color Control – Match the halftone metal color to your project’s palette.
• Halftone Size & Density – Adjust the scale of dots for a subtle or bold comic effect.
• Edge Highlight Control – Add or remove outline strength for different artistic styles.
• Metallic & Roughness Adjustments – Easily tweak surface reflections to achieve gold, steel, bronze, or chrome-like finishes.

• Vertices: 50,421
• Polygons: 50,421
• Clean, non-overlapping topology for accurate shading.
• Even edge flow for high-quality baking if required.

• All shader groups neatly labeled inside the Shader Editor.
• Modular design allows mixing with other materials or effects.
• Beginner-friendly layout for artists new to Blender’s material system.

• Infinite texture resolution due to procedural generation.
• Zero dependency on image maps, making it file-size friendly.
• Faster previews & renders compared to high-resolution image textures.
• Ideal for stylized animation pipelines, indie game assets, motion graphics, and product visualizations.

• .blend – Native Blender file with complete procedural setup.
• .fbx – Universal format for most 3D applications.
• .obj – Widely supported format for modeling and texturing workflows.
• .stl – For 3D printing previews or special pipeline needs.

• Stylized character and environment rendering.
