Unreal Cel Shading - Remove texture details - UE4 Tutorials #290

Post Process Material: https://www.patreon.com/posts/30660496

In order to get proper cel shaded effect, we shouldn't use much details on the textures of models we have used in the scene. Today, I am going to remove details from objects until it would mostly look like a single color so that the two tone cel shaded rendering would be properly visible.

Unreal Easy Outline Rendering Post Process - UE4 Tutorials #289

Shader FIle : https://www.patreon.com/posts/30660496

Today I am going to add an outline rendering effect to my cel shading post process material. This is a relatively easier way to render some outlines compared to the existing method in unreal live training video. All the objects will have an outline so that the contour would be clearly visible and it will make easier to identify the objects separately. ...

Today I am going to work on sky rendering in my cel shading post process material I have implemented in unreal engine 4. The fog and the sky rendering has some issues as the fog color is applied over  the sky. I am going to fix it today.

Cel Shaded Grass material with directional wind

As you can see in the preview gif above, this material can render grass meshes in cel shaded style + directional wind system. The wind direction and weight is driven with a parameter in material parameter collection, So that you can change it at runtime to change the wind direction. 

Here is the material code

In the current implementation of the cel shading post process material i have developed inunreal engine 4, I have noticed some shortcomings in shadow rendering in distance objects vs closer range objects. if i optimize the material parameters to make the closer shadows look good, the shadows in the distance looks bad. I am ...

Unreal Cel Shading- UE4 Tutorials #286

In this episode, I am going to implement a cel shading post process material in unreal engine 4. For this shader, I am going to use post process input0, diffuse color and scene depth inputs. No texture changes are required to get the desired toon shaded look on existing 3d models as the effect is done through a post process. Also, the default height fog and atmosphere fog doesn't work properly with cel shaded postprocess. Therefore I am going to implement an alternative way to add fog to the ...

Wall Eject Animation Anticipation II - UE4 Tutorials #283

This is the second part of the wall eject anticipation pose implementation. When my character jump towards the next knob or hanging point in the wall, it currently just moves to the next point without any anticipation phase in the animation. This anticipation part plays a major role in displaying the effort required for the next action. To display that effort, I am going to add an anticipation pose to the character before jumping to the next knob on the wall in this episode.

Unreal Third Person Shooter #16 - Aim Down Sight

When the player press and hold the right mouse button in my Third person shooter game developing with unreal engine 4, the camera should move close and go for a over the shoulder view to make it easier for the player to target. To do this, I am going to use 2 spring arm components, one for the normal view and the other for the aim down sight view. I am going to dynamically attach the camera to these 2 spring arms to move the camera to the desired location.

Vector Spring interpolation - UE4 Tutorials #281

In this episode of my unreal engine climbing system tutorial, I am going to move the character with spring interpolation. That means, when character move one hanging point to another, the character will move and oscillate a little to show the momentum of the character body before stabilize on the new hanging point.

Unreal Physical Animations Blending Transition - UE4 Tutorials #280

For my wall climbing system developed with unreal engine 4, I only need physical simulation for animations at certain points, not always. So, today, I am going to experiment on how to smoothly blend physical simulation and how to smoothly disable physical simulations to non physical fully kinematic animations.

Unreal Third Person Shooter #15 - Turn in place 180 degrees

When the player press the Aim down button, while the character facing towards the camera, the character should instantly but smoothly turn to the aiming direction and point the gun towards the aiming direction intended by the player. This turning should look good and also shouldn't delay the aiming as it is important for the gameplay. So we need to balance this function . this is the part I am going to cover today.
