What MingToon does not do right now

This page is an explanation. To install now, see Installation.

In one line

MingToon is a public open beta. Only the Built-in pipeline (BRP) is distributed.

Check the current version under Update settings in MingToon Manager. Changes by version are in the changelog.

What to know before you ship

Item	Current state
Performance figures	There are no validated GPU ms or SetPass improvement figures. We make no performance claims
VRChat PC	The main target. Verification is manual and release certification is not finished
VRChat Quest	It does not run the MingToon shader directly
WARUDO	Waiting for verification on real hardware
URP	Not included in this BRP open beta
Depth effects	Visible only when the host provides camera depth
lilToon conversion	An interoperability tool. It does not clone another shader's result
VRC Light Volumes 3	Legacy v2 buffer compatibility only. Native v3 shadows, clustering and per-light shading are not supported
Light Volume cast shadows	Still look different from 0.1.10 in v2 and v3 worlds

→ Supported Environments · How far depth effects are guaranteed

There are two installation routes

The BRP core installed through VCC is a source package. The BOOTH installer is a DLL distribution route.

Both routes point at the same BRP core version.

What to check yourself before shipping

Check the following before handing your work to anyone else.

1. The Console has 0 C# and shader errors.
2. You captured the full body and the face of a real avatar separately.
3. The target platform build succeeds.
4. You looked at it on the target platform. For VRChat, check your own view, a mirror, and the Photo Camera separately.

StudioRaming > MingToon > Validate Project screens the environment conditions first.

This part is yours

We run shader compile regression tests and EditMode tests on every release. What you check is the result as it appears on a real avatar.
