The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
grand marshal polycounter
I thought I should share this here instead of the Technical talk section, because its showing art too, and some solutions that can show up in specific cases in games.
Here I'm showing my experiments, solutions for technical questions that I used in various personal or group projects. Also my way learning as a technical artist...
Later I'll upload some images too, especially after request, but first, here are some short videos about interesting materials, lighting solutions, and game design implementations.
Hope you'll enjoy it!

Material function instructions:
Just call the function in your material...
Inputs:
TextureObject - can be texture object, or texture object parameter if you want to change it in material instances.
Resolution - Controls the resolution of the texture
Post process instructions:
Create a material instance from the post process material, add it to your blendables array, in your post process volume settings, edit the instance parameters...
Parameters:
Xres - screen x resolution
Yres - screen y resolution
Colors - amount of different shades per channel
R-G-B power - this is for fine tuning colors...

buuuut.... there is a problem... I'm not sure where is it coming from but when I'm trying to lower res it, I get some line along 0 and 1 coordinates. It might be because of the frac removing them, but I tried to put them back but it didn't really help....I could use some help

screen door thing.... Unfortunately mine doesn't use any sorting yet because of the pattern... But I do work on different opacity level options.
Even though this was a custom one, before dither temporal AA was added, it was also suffering from ghosts when using TAA.

Sorry if I'm totally misreading the look you're going for with that one.
I removed only the ones that I thought its boring, or just a small update on one of the another videos.
