Beauty
The Beauty AOV being rendered before the Stylized Looks filters are applied
Toon Ramp
The Toon ramping.
Toon Final
Your beautiful toon image
Toon Final with Spec
Your beautiful toon image + specular highlights
Diffuse Energy
The energy emitted by the Diffuse AOV
Diffuse Luminance
The luminance of the diffuse AOV
Albedo
The Albedo AOV
Signal AOV String
Name of a color AOV to use for the signal to toon shading. Typically diffuse, but you can put any light AOV here. This AOV has to be setup in Maya/Katana/Houdini or DisplayFilter will exit.

Under the hood a white shader approximation is created based off the Signal AOV to drive the Toon response. By default using average of RGB components of Signal AOV, but can also divide Signal AOV lighting results with a pure albedo from NPRalbedo AOV or albedo AOV. If NPRalbedo AOV chosen, must set Albedo Color in Stylized Controller Pattern node.
Light Mask Switch
Use light aov defined in signal_aov_string above as mask for previously daisy-chained Stylized shaders and/or physically based lighting.

Step Mode
Albedo: steps to object albedo from albedo AOV. Light To Albedo: steps from white or light color to albedo color of object (use albedoLift to see more if dark albedo or textures). Darks Color: step to chosen color instead of default black.
Toon Diffuse Steps
Number of steps to quantize diffuse lighting
Blacks
Color to step to
Black Scale
Albedo Lift
When Step Mode = Albedo or Light to Albedo, you can use this to lift your albedo values
Darks
Color to step toScale the Toon Diffuse ramp: if you're finding the original "full lighting" is too dark, scale this up to 2,4,8, etc. Check the NPRtoonDiffRamp AOV to visualize.
Linstep Min
Min for min-max remap of stepping. Check the NPRtoonDiffRamp AOV to visualize.
