Anyone know how to do a good Toon Shader like in Gigantic? in UE4?

GhostBlades

Does anyone by any chance know how to set up a shader in UE4 to achieve this look and be able to render dynamic shadows? Not really understanding what to do with the post process material to achieve it...and for some reason whenever Im in the post process volume - all my manipulators disappear whenever I try

I built the character shader for gigantic, but it's in UE3. Since UE4 is deferred shading, I'd be of little help.=)

The Unreal Marketplace has a Cel Shader pack:

Report back here with your review if you decide to buy it. I'm interested in it myself.

UE4 really needs that forward path ASAP. =/

If there was a way of having multi pass shaders, writing an inverted hull shader like the GG:Xrd one would be great.

Great work! You together with the character team nailed a good rendering style.

So as i guessed it really was with the indirect lighting node....

I can't understand how this amazing feature was removed from UE4

UE4 is now deferred, meaning all light calculation is split off and rendered after materials.

They did just release a POM material node after numerous complaints and hacky-workarounds and they've already stated a few times that Forward rendering for some things will be implemented, so Epic is listening and is aware of the issue at least.

You can download a fork of UE 4 that has a toon shading model: https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?70150-Toon-shading-model
