Appears to be powerful, but the lack of documentation for this pricey addon is not acceptable. The provided .pdf is not helpful at all. The samples on the GitHub page (who's supposed to know that in the first place... why not implement them as a download...) are also useless, the results straight out the box seem broken. Maybe I'm doing something wrong by merely opening the demo file? If so, then documentation would help.
I realize i could contact the creator in case of issues, but without knowing where to start, this would be a time consuming process.
All in all, I don't have the time to find out how this works by trial&error. For example, what does the Line ID do? Am I supposed to combine the Line Style node with the Line Art node, and if so, why? What does "Use Line Art: 1" do in the first place, or better yet: what do the parameters of the LineArt node actually do? Because they don't do f#$k all in my case.
As of now, this addon is pretty useless to me and i regret the purchase tbh.

The last version is compatible with Blender 3.0
I've used this shader for a while now, and it has a lot of great functionality. Sadly though it crashes blender too frequently when rendering bigger animation projects to be of any real use.
Troubleshooting for weeks has yielded no improvement, even trying on different computers and with a clean install of blender. I've reached out to the developer, and while they've been helpful in the past with smaller problems, I've gotten no response or help on this bigger issue.
This will definitely be my last animation project using this shader. I advise to steer away unless you only need it for very short animations or still images.
Je suis un utilisateur de niveau intermédiaire de Blender. Je ne maîtrise pas encore certaines fonctionnalités, mais je me débrouille assez bien avec l’application et de nombreux add-ons assez complexes.
C’est la première fois que je n’arrive pas à faire fonctionner un add-on. La documentation se contente de montrer les différentes fonctionnalités mais ne propose pas un guide d'installation et de démarrage étape par étape.
Est-ce si difficile de créer un tutoriel de 3 minutes indiquant le processus d’installation, de paramétrage et de prise en main ? J’ai tout essayé, mais je n’obtiens aucun résultat.
Je travaille sur macOS et me demande si l’add-on est incompatible avec Mac.
Je demande un remboursement.
at first glance it can be an interesting addon, but when you increase to make big scenes, problems appear. The blender will drop out constantly, after about 10 minutes, the render will also break and it will not appear correctly. Complete trash

This is very strange Arthuor. Can you contact us inbox so we can check about it?
i can't use this plugin. I contact the autor who ignore my questions.

So i can't use it.

HI benoit. We did answered you in less than 2 hours . Please check your inbox and notice that we're in another country and time zone.
I was looking forward to using your awesome addon.
However,after installing the addon as same as other addons, the error "Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.90\2.90\scripts\addons\toonkit\toonkit_nodes.py", line 615, in execute
node.inputs["Normal"].hide_value = True
KeyError: 'bpy_prop_collection[key]: key "Normal" not found'
location: :-1
was shown in case to add "easy toon shadeer".
So, I can not use this addon.

Hi Takeki. Please contact us inbox. There's a nice channel there to support our customers. We will be glad to help you.
Looks pretty and the example files are impressive. However, this is really not for beginners. There is a very steep learning curve as it is all trial and error.
The documentation is very mininal e.g. "This is button A: Button A does A". The on-site videos are a copy of the text: minimal information.
There are no examples on how to achieve the equivalent looks or styles of the sample files. There are no tutorials on how to achieve any of the various various looks. Internet video tutorials are few almost non-existant.
Finally, this addon only renders using the CPU, so that expensive GPU card is useless with this app.
I regret purchasing this as I do not have the time to waste trying to figure out and mid read the developper's intentions.

Hi gaetan.
What did you described is the computer Graphics by itself. Try and error is the way to do anything in a node system like cycles and part of the fun. As you said Toolkit has a repository with samples covering most common art styles and techniques and a online documentation to be used as reference for each option of each node. Hope you find some time in future to check about it with more patience and see that experimenting is not a weekness is the way to empower great artists. We're to help you for anything you need so you have any specific doubts let us know. Best regards.
