Cel shading is a form of cartoon shading that is opposed to realistic "smooth" shading. Light is calculated only in very few shades, to achieve a stylized, flat, cartoon-like look. Most prominently seen in games like "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker", which are known for their timeless graphics.


With Cel Shading + you can now use cel shading in your own projects within minutes:

  • Drag the CS_Controller blueprint into the level
  • Drag a CS_Light blueprint of your choice into the level
  • Apply the M_CS_Base material on your 3d model


Check the demo on Youtube for a few examples of what you can do with this system.


What makes Cel Shading + a good choice:

  • Support for all the basic light types within Unreal Engine, including point and spot lights
  • Freely combinable with realistic/smooth lighting, even within the same material
  • Easy to integrate, easy to extend, ready for modification
  • No expensive or limiting post process effects
  • Works in blueprint-only projects

Technical Details

Features:

  • Create your own custom cel-shaded materials by creating material instances of the M_CS_Base material, where you can add your own texture, normal map or tweak the various settings to your liking.
  • Use the included CS_Light blueprints just like normal Unreal lights with huge freedom of up to 5 directional lights, 100 point lights and 50 spot lights visible all at once in a scene. If you need even more lights the CS_Controller blueprint will keep track of them all and activate the lights as needed.
  • For advanced users there are options to selectively enable/disable features per material instance, work with a mix between cel shading and Unreal's realistic shading and fine tune the active lights in the scene.
  • Well documented and structured blueprints and materials.
