Hatchliner stands out in the Superhive library for bundling 27 hatching and anime presets with per-parameter customization, so styles can be applied and then tuned. A demo video is available.
Hatchliner is a Blender add-on from Kito Studio for applying anime and hatching styles to the materials in a scene. It includes 27 presets grouped into four categories — Lines, Inks, Manga, and Shadows — and a preview UI lets you visualize each preset before applying it.
You can apply a style to an individual mesh or to specific materials, and it supports meshes with multiple material slots. New styles can overwrite or merge with existing materials, and a style can be applied across the entire scene with a collection exclusion list.
Every style parameter is customizable, and settings can be reset to their default values. Hatchliner also supports copying and pasting styles, along with saving styles to a file and loading them back. It's built for the Eevee render engine, is Blender extension compatible, and is released under the GPL license.
Hatchliner is best for blender artists creating anime and hatching-style non-photorealistic looks in Eevee.
Hatchliner is completely free to download and use.
