Genshin Impact Character Shader for Blender

This Genshin Impact-styled Character Shader is a node group for Blender that supports both EEVEE and Cycles and is heavily inspired by the character shader used in the video game Genshin Impact. Easily give your models a beautiful anime appearance with fully customizable artificial subsurface scattering, subsurface color, shadow color, specularity, metallic matcap, full texture support, and rim lights.

Version 2.0 of the shader will continue to be updated for new Blender releases. Due to major changes and a newer Blender version requirement of v2.0, version 1.6 will remain available for download indefinitely.
