Watercolor renderer
What's Watercolor Renderer, as its
name implies, this is a real-time watercolor renderer, which let artist
direct how to watercolor style should be.
How artist control the watercolor style
Artist can control how the watercolor style in two types: Global configs and local vertex painting.
Global configs
With
global configs, artist can setup how the whole scene should look like
by configure the canvas type, canvas roughness, pigment density, etc.
Local vertex painting
To simulate how watercolor works, we provide 5 types of vertex painting which smimulates different characteristic of watercolor.
They are Pigment Turbulence, Pigment Granulate, Color Bleeding, Edge Darkening, Substrate Distortion.
While
global config affect the whole scene, local vertex painting only affect
perticular mesh and its vertex. So that you can make some micro control
on how the watercolor style you like it to be.
