Wow, the new shader really makes the vehicle pop! Did you have to rework the textures a lot for the cel look?

Nope, no textures involved, all done with code.

Did you keep the specular highlight as a hard shape too? On cars a single sharp glint sells the anime look surprisingly well.

It already has a lot of character. Looking forward to seeing where you take it!

Not gonna lie. In the turnaround shots I prefer the old shader, but in action, the new shader really does work very well. Lovely stuff.

Cel shading on vehicles is smart, silhouettes read faster at speed. Are you keeping outlines thick enough to survive the motion blur?
