Normal Map Settings

Normal Map is a texture that dictates the bumpiness of the material. The Unity Toon Shader allows control over Normal Map strength and which areas it applies to.

Normal Map

A Normal Map texture and its strength.

An example of a normal map. A square surface with 16 small raised squares in a regular layout. The edges of the raised squares use a different color for each normal direction.

Examples of a normal map with a strength of 1.0, 0.3, and 0.0:

The example normal map applied to a plane using the URP/Lit shader on the left side and the UTS shader on the right side, with a strength of 1.0. The raised squares are clearly visible on both halves.
Strength: 1.0.

The same example with a strength of 0.3. The raised squares are less visible on the UTS side.
Strength: 0.3.

The same example with a strength of 0.0. The raised squares are not visible on the UTS side.
Strength: 0.0.
