YOOO I was looking around like crazy for this, simple but effective. And this was just perfect. Next up is the black outline and then Im all good to go. Thank you. Another good one
you just made my day , i was looking at something simple yet powerful and here o found you , thank you this was very helful for my game and now i can work on it
Awesome vid, im currently working on Shaders in a project and even tho i didnt make a cel shading shader, the logic behind distinguishing if a pixel was part of a Skybox was very Helpful
I'd like to know more about cel shading in this way's interaction with the UE5 Lumen lights. There's a number of weird effects they create when combined which you can even see in your video.
After a bit of fiddling, I think that the problem comes from soft shadows. I've corrected the problem by making the light and shadows harsher: Disable the skylight Crank the DirectionalLight intensity up. I doubled mine from 10 lux to 20 lux. You may also want to set indirect lighting to 0 on the DirectionalLight. You'll then need to compensate for the difference in brightness by modifying the Exposure in your post processing volume. You'll also want to modify the shadow tint to be a little lighter -- fortunately this tutorial gives us that setting!
@@MichaelRoyalty I'm trying to use my day/night cycle but with this post processing effect enabled everything is staying lit up with "night" lighting, any idea why?
While the effect works, it also makes the models essentially unlit. In dark areas the model is still completely bright, and color lights have no color effect on the model. I'm using UE4.25 btw.
Great tut! You should do more replicated tutorials, like replicated hide in locker and stuff. I feel like I am getting the basics of blueprints down but no matter how many rep tutorials I watch, replicating events always confuses me
I tried to make a Cel-shading material, that leant from Unreal Engine, I didn't really like it because it kept putting these think black lines in the sky, the thumb nail of the video is of cow.
There's a video by PrismaticaDev explaining how to use metallic with this style cel shader. Basically you hijack the specular channel and use that as your metallic. Watch his video though, he explains very well
After an hour of searching, I finally found a video showing how to do this, thanks! Side note: is there an easy way to also add those black lines around the model edges, anime style? I’m recreating a colored manga cover scene in 3D.
This might be a tall order, but does anyone know how to create a cell shader that also interacts with scene lighting? I know that would be a complicated math equation to both determine RGB values (RBG as in if you have a red light in your scene and that affects your character's shading) as well as the actual tone, but if it exists that would be super helpful. Thank you
For anyone that followed the tutorial and is not managing to make the "render custom depth" to work on selected objects, know that the property does not work on Nanite Enabled meshes. A bit inconvenient, but not the end of the world.
Do you know how to add multiple levels of grayscales? So that there isnt just the on and off switch, but rather, there are 3 or even 5 shades, the toon shader will create?
I don't understand when I connect the sky shader it comes back but removes the connection with the Cel shader, how do I keep both connected at the same time?
Great video. After a few minutes and one particularly annoying error I got it running. How ever I do not seem to have any shadow at all. It makes the scene look flat and unappealing. Has anyone came across this issue and got past it. If so how was it fixed?
Having an issue with the infinite extent it seems, my map is pretty large for my project and the post processing effect isn't reaching the far spots on my map, it cuts off. Any idea why? Thanks for the vid.
8:50-9:05-9:45 I did what you said, but, in my case there's two errors 1 says "Failed to compile AlessThanBInput" While the other says "Missing If AGreaterThanB input"
Thanks, This is exactly what I was looking for. I just have a small problem. The celshading turns my water white and my guns are extremely dark now. Does anybody know a fix for that?
Yeah I have a similar issue… My cel shading is causing things to sometimes disappear like Niagara effects, but my biggest issue is low lighting at night. The things that don’t have cel shading look black and sometimes things that do are black. It also caused everything at night to be super bright looking like I’m looking at it in the day time when it is night time. Also sometimes cel shading is getting added to objects automatically when it isn’t supposed to.
Just tried this tutorial on 5.4 and there is no blendable location "before tonemapping' anymore. There are "before bloom" and "before DOF". Any tips on what setting to use for this?
It works great on most of my objects, but it breaks some materials and stops them from rendering, is there anything in the blueprints that could be messing with other materials?
Hi , Great Tutorial i have a problem that i couldn't fix , when i connect the "if" node to emissive color i get an error and it doesn't work , can you plz help with this ?
Hi there Could you please help me with this, it's important Whenever I click on (build all levels) the whole project crashes and kicks me out. Because of it building lighting is not working, collusion is not working, the character is lagging while walking and the whole thing is unbearable Please help 💔
Try building each one by themselves instead of all levels. Doing all at once could be too much for your PC. Unreal Engine needs a decent gaming type of PC with a lot of space to work properly otherwise it can cause major issues like crashing.
That was a great tutorial, but connecting the Lighting Buffer If output straight to the Emissive Colour, just like you did at the end, still leaves my sky black. Any idea why? I re-watched 5 times and followed your steps precisely, but it's still not working. I'm using Unreal 5.3.1
Why is it that when I draw on the left and right sides of the canvas, I can draw smoothly, but if I want to draw on the top and bottom of the canvas, I need to raise the camera to a 180-degree angle to draw?
Seems very cool, but it's not working for me... Even tried it in a new scene with nothing else than a light and a cube but nope. I wonder if something changed in the engine since this video was made. Thanks for the video anyway.
I don't think this works with substrate, at least, it didn't work for me, have 5.3, and half texture became either fully black or just completely white.
(in UE5) i have a water zone and the Cel-Shading effects this, and turns it Grey, is there a way to avoid this without Passing everything through "render Custom Depth" in details
whelp this straight up didnt work for me. the if's are broken with an error and im getting a this will not render in my SM5 level error. FUN! and or help.
hi! did you find a reason for this or how to bypass it?? im running into the same problem and its a bit inconvenient since our games supposed to be quite darkly lit :(
Ayo guys.. anyone know how Can I enable double sided and alpha in cell shader....I gotta mesh that has opacity in the basecolor. But not been able to use alpha....any help
Just do what he did with the last portion of the code and only apply this to certain material while creating a whole different cel shading material that uses opacity for the object which isn’t for post processing.
