How to change shadow color when using octane toon shader

[anatolewilson]

Hi Guys,

I want to change the color of the shadow while using toon shader but I am not able to do so as there is no option of changing color. I suppose I need to do anything extra for this.

So can you please tell me what step I need to choose for this?

Thank you so much!

If I understand your question, shadow color is controlled by the diffuse ramp of the Toon Material being shadowed; at least that's how I've done it the few times I've needed toon shading. It's not specifically a shadow color, so much as it is the color of the surface when weakly illuminated, regardless of whether that illumination is direct or indirect. In this quick example, the shadows on the ground are green because the low end of the Toon Material's Diffuse ramp is set to that color.

It might be necessary to adjust the shadow colour directly in the shader code in order to change the colour of the shadow in a toon shader. Locate the shadows area, then adjust the parameters or create a custom colour input.
