Backlit

Backlit is a stylized feature that can be used to create the effect of lighting from behind, It's the same style seen in Anime illustrations. The effect will change depending on where direction light is located.

Demonstration of Backlit

Backlit is a bit different from Rim Lighting as Backlit only show up when direction light is pointing from behind and view camera is in opposite side and follows the light source, while Rim Lighting can be used as a fancy fresnel effect.
