Face Shadow SDF — User Guide

Automatically generates anime-style face shadow SDF textures. Output in RGBA format that can be directly applied to lilToon's _FaceShadowTexture.

Quick Start — Apply a Preset Instantly

The SDF_Presets folder includes preset SDF images for 10 avatars. If your avatar matches one of the presets, you can apply it directly without generating one yourself.

  1. Find the SDF image for your avatar in the SDF_Presets folder
  2. Select the lilToon material that has the face texture applied
  3. Change the shadow mask type to SDF
  4. Assign the preset SDF image to the corresponding slot
  5. Adjust lilToon's shadow settings to fine-tune the shadow. (Setting Blur and Receive Shadow to 0 first makes it easier to adjust)

If your avatar isn't in the presets or you want to generate your own, follow the guide below.

Prerequisites

  1. Open the TextureColorKit window and assign the avatar's Head object to the "Add from Root" field
  2. Activate the target that contains the face mesh
