Instead of learning how to model and do cool art things, we could instead make ok models look better by *stylizing* them with code, something I *think* I'm much better at. In games, a common style is "Cel shading" or "[[Toon shading]]". I'm hoping to work towards a pixelated but 3D art style that uses low-poly models. In order to get a nice pixelated feel you typically want flat shading to mimic the look of real 2D pixel art. In the video you can see the shader applied to a few different objects and textures. Theres also an object with a basic normal lighting shader for comparison.
