3D forms shaded in two or three hard bands with outlines.

## Visual traits
- Shading is split into two or three hard-edged bands instead of a gradient
- A dark outline surrounds each form
- A small hard highlight sits on the lit side

## Prompt
Toon shading: split the shading of 3D forms into two or three hard-edged bands instead of a gradient, outline each form in a dark line and add a small hard highlight on the lit side.

## Avoid
smooth gradients, photorealistic rendering, soft shadows
