Transform your Unreal Engine project into a vibrant, stylised world with Toonify.

Toonify is a modular stylised rendering framework for Unreal Engine, combining configurable cel shading, flexible outline rendering and an optional fully dynamic day/night system in one easy-to-integrate toolkit.

Designed to provide powerful artistic control without requiring users to rebuild complex shader graphs, Toonify exposes the settings that matter through accessible Material Instances and Blueprint controls. Whether you're creating an animated, comic-inspired, painterly or highly stylised game, the framework can be customised to suit a wide range of visual directions.

At its core, Toonify provides post-process cel shading with adjustable light and shadow intensity alongside a highly configurable outline system. Depth and normal-based edge detection can be combined with thickness modulation, grazing-angle correction, Custom Depth masking and Custom Stencil colours to create anything from subtle animated edges to bold, graphic outlines.

For projects requiring a complete environmental solution, Toonify also includes an optional dynamic day/night system. Eight phases smoothly coordinate sun and moon movement, directional lighting, global scene tint, cel-shading brightness and atmospheric transitions.

The included custom sky system adds layered stylised clouds, horizon and haze effects, stars and a configurable aurora, with atmospheric colours changing dynamically throughout the day.

Two primary setups make Toonify easy to integrate:

• BP_Toonify provides cel shading and outlines while allowing you to retain your project's existing lighting and sky.

• BP_ToonifyDayNightCycle provides the complete Toonify experience, including dynamic lighting, sky and time-of-day transitions.

Toonify is built around a modular architecture, allowing individual components to be customised, replaced or extended without requiring the entire framework to be redesigned.

Two example maps are included to provide working references for both configurations, alongside a Quick Start Guide and comprehensive Reference Manual covering setup, customisation, architecture, parameters, troubleshooting and extension.
