  • Warudo Pro - A 3D livestream software that supports NiloToon shaders. You can import NiloToon characters via .warudo files. For details, see the Warudo Integration documentation.
  • MELIGO Creator - A motion capture tool that supports NiloToon.

Note

NiloToon support in Warudo is only available in the Warudo Pro version. For detailed integration instructions, see the Integration Guide.

Known Issues

  • When using Deferred Rendering or Depth Priming, Opaque Alpha Blending, Stencil, 2D Shadow on Face, and ZOffset features may not work correctly. For details, see the Rendering Path documentation.
  • Motion Vector for Classic Outline areas is not yet supported correctly. Therefore, TAA / DLSS / STP / Motion Blur is not 100% correct for Classic Outline areas.
  • Depth Texture for Classic Outline areas is not yet supported correctly. Therefore, Depth of Field will blur Classic Outline areas, which is incorrect.
  • NiloToon SelfShadow Soft Shadow Filtering is incorrect on WebGL 2.0 and Android at Medium and High quality settings. (Works correctly on WebGPU)
  • Depth Tex Rim Light and Shadow 2D: Rendering is incorrect in XR environments.
  • Render Graph: Rendering is incorrect in XR environments.
