UE4 Custom Lighting / Toon Material

Jackson31

Hi, I'm trying to achieve a cell shaded/toon shaded effect on my materials.

Basically, instead of having all the nice smooth gradients of lighting ue4 has by default, I want some materials to simply have 2 tones of lighting, light and dark.
As seen in most animes





In UDK this would be easy, but in UE4 I can't find how to change the way a material is lit (The "Custom Lighting" peg is gone from the material editor!)

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

Definitely check out the thread that ZacD linked. You're going to need to work with Post-Process shaders to get the look you want, or... you'd have to write up a custom shading model by coding your own addition to the UE4 source code, which I'm going to assume is beyond your knowledge and/or goals.
