Question Regarding Creating this Shader

Greg DAlessandro

Does anyone know if this is possible to achieve a shader that looks like this?: (in Unity)





I'm trying to figure out how to make a shader that looks like that style (2D, deep contrast, outlines, etc) But, I am god awful at coding. I was wondering if anyone had extra time and was willing to help. Thank you.

Edit: I see that this style is also similar to Viewtiful Joe, or a modified cel shader.

i would say a combination of matcaps and detail textures (grayscale) could do the trick, (if you want to use lighting, you have to convert the matcaps to cubemaps by painting another matcap for the backside, putting it on a sphere and rendering out a cube for that, and point the cubemap at the light source )

Looks like an Ink or Toon shader would do the trick here, unfortunately i can't tell how to create them in Unity. But at least the names might help you to do some more research.

i forgot this technique

ramp shader, would do it with a hand made light ramp and phong ramp
