3D Artist nyanneco9 has presented a toon shader called NyanToon for Substance 3D Painter, designed for VRChat.

nyanneco9 explained that the default look confirmation in Substance 3D Painter is done with PBR-based shaders, so when texturing items for VRChat, the appearance in Unity after import differs greatly, requiring repeated back-and-forth between Substance 3D Painter and Unity to confirm the look.

The artist shared that the goal when creating the NyanToon shader was to achieve an effect as close as possible to lilToon, a stylized shader specifically designed for VRChat avatars, but within Substance 3D Painter.

If you are not familiar with lilToon, take a look at this vibrant setup made using the shader by 3D Artist Arishia, also known as HyperspaceZeu:
