Toon modifier properties
The toon modifier changes a model’s rendering to imitate a cartoon drawing style. Only a few
colors are used, and the model’s shader, texture, and related properties are ignored.
Use these properties to work with the toon modifier:
Inker modifier properties
The inker modifier adds silhouette, crease, and boundary edges to an existing model. Silhouettes
