Flexible Toon Shader (Godot 4)

Original shader by CaptainProton42 ported to Godot 4

  🤸Flexibility through parameters like number of cuts/bands, steepness, and wrap
 🎨 Supports custom color ramps
 🌈 Affected by the colors of light sources and ambient light in the scene
 💡 Allows for multiple light sources
 ⛱️ Supports shadows and attenuation
 ✨ Visual extras like specular reflections and rim lighting
 🖼️ Supports textures for albedo and specular

New:
 ✏️ Experimental toon hatching shader (available as a separate material), available on github or asset store.

Current supported repo: https://github.com/atzuk4451/FlexibleToonShaderGD-4.0
