hi, i love your tutorials.. can you make a tutorial where seeing from above the water has no outline effect under the water and vice versa.

The gumroad store makes me laugh, since it asks to "name a fair price" for the shader, but the minimum price is $55. No, I don't think $55 is a fair price. Nor do I think spending $3 on your patreon to bring it down to $44 is a fair price, but it's closer (oh yeah, and this is just the cell shading, so you'd still have to buy the outline shader for the full effect). I know it's a lot of work, but I honestly think you'd make a lot more if the price was lower or they were just included on Patreon for $10-$20 a month. For that price, I'd be happy to play around with it. For the $70 or so it would take to get it all in a project, I'd have to be pretty committed to actually using it for something.

can you please make this effect also available in gumroad to buy?

Wish he would use this on a fully textured model so i can see the before and after rather than on a statue

Finally not the average UA-camr. You are in my list of 3 now, and thank you for the accent, easily recognizable fratello

Legend for sharing this

Hi, Just purchased the gumroad pack. I was wondering if there's a way to exclude meshes? So that it can just be used on particular assets. Also are you on Discord? Thanks!

This is the best tutorial to explain how a cell shader works that I’ve come across thank you so much, I’m going to be rewatching this over and over to learn what is really going on in the shaders.

excellent video - I really like all the diagrams to explain the math

Fantastic video, and im not just talking about the information, just a really good, pedagogic/approachable, entertaining and well made explanation.

Coming back to this video after seeing the "Unfeatured Features of Unreal Engine in 2024" video from EPIC and wanted to bring up something I don't remember you touching on, in UE5 there is now a "Local Expose" setting as it does 2 expose passes and blends them together letting you bring out details in the darker areas.

Your video was interesting and I appreciate the time you've put into it. I zoned out a couple of times but I think I can understand the why more than the how. I've been trying to make a universal foliage (trees, bushes, flowers, weeds, grass, flotsam) bundle for all of my own game ideas going from blender into Godot or Source 2 (Sandbox). It's only been 5 months since I started and I don't think I'm any closer to getting it completed, just a whole bunch of false starts.

Great stuff! Really amazed. However I got stuck at the RGBToHSV and HSVToRGB nodes. Cannot seem to find them anywhere in the engine (are they custom made?). Tried to gather all the references i could find on the internet, however it seems like the information have been well hidden (some sort of exotic lighting guys secret tecniques that must not be shared with the unworthy?). I am sure I am missing a step. Could anyone please address me to the solution? thank you all in advance.

is there any way too randomise the colors of each voronoi to a different hex code

I found that post-processing Scene after DOF, the sceneTexture gets a metallic that is all black.

Circa 18:57 is the actual node setup, of anyone was wondering

8:20 Wait a second, you're subtracting camera position from object position meaning you're getting a vector that points from camera to object, NOT from object to camera, which was what the X axis should be. How come this works?! Normally a vector from point A to B = B-A.

HOW ARE YOU THIS GOOD WTH!!!!!!!! You've just completely transformed my pitiful attempts of cell shading in UE, seriously! I may be just a minuscule passionate game dev, but geniuses like you inspire me to keep pushing at it. Here's my subscription and my eternal gratitude, CHEERS!

COOL

this is the first unreal tutorial i have tried to follow, came across a problem with weird artifacting of the shapes not fitting together entirely, and it partially showing a second grid of colors behind the voronoi, took me about 2 days too fix, in the end i made a 5 by 5 grid at 6:01 instead of 3 by 3 and that seemed too fix it, i assume it was something too do with the voronoi stretching outwards more then they were able too render,

what a legend!! thanks for the consise and clear tutorial

10:25 - Ah, I see you too are a veteran of the game development industry.

I keep saying that all the time 1K and 2K are more than sufficient. 4K textures will only hinder the systems with little to no gains in visual quality

This tutorial was amazing! I'm curious though, is it possible to increase the size of the darkest EV band?

what ?

How do I exclude some objects/characters from the postprocess with this approach :(

I very much appreciate this tutorial and also watched the lighting discussion as that information is so valuable. However, The issue I have with following this method is emissive or unlit materials are not talked about (unless I keep missing it)... and they don't seem to work when adjusting the directional light and post process settings in the very beginning. I don't have the knowledge to work around this. For example, my sky sphere, which is emissive and contains all my sky, sun, moon and clouds is black and broken as it is an emissive unlit material and I have no idea how to recover it without lowering those MinEV100-MaxEV100 values. It's forever black... I've tried messing around in it's material but to no avail. Am I missing something something obvious here?

You kind of sound like Microsoft Sam

Such a great video! However, I'm facing a small problem where I have a red tint appearing mostly in the shadows, regardless of the time of day. Looking at the graph, it appears after the last HSVToRGB node, before the SceneTextures Input0, BaseColor, and BlackMask lerp. Do you have any idea why? Thanks in advance!

masterpiece

Awesome! But, i'm having this issue: when i work with the bend parameter, it bends only in the center of the leaf, and not a rounded movement like yours. And it stretches the mesh, making it larger. Could you help me please?

hi this is awesome i dont know how to fix the color effect of the waves it is not visible on the white landscape but if you paint landscape green R=0 G=0.03 B=0 the closer to the camera the darker the further it is lighter as if you yourself are the source of the darkness

Thank you very much for your tutorial. 😘😘😘I completely reproduced it in version 5.3 according to your method, which is very good. The effect is exactly the same, and you really saved me. But there is a doubt: why does the 3D model finally become a 2D patch? I don't understand. It's good to use it to make grass. It's strange to apply it to trees😅

Okay, but why? Is this more performant? Wouldn't ray casting be more computationally demanding?

I can't seem to implement the "animation" on this. any tips?

For the Directional Light Material, if you use an Atmosphere Sun Light Vector (UE5.4) rather than a float 4 color parameter at the start -- then you'll have the cells actually following the directional light's rotation.

Wow this is great

Mate, the value and quality of this video is beyond anything I've consumed in regards to UE learning videos on UA-cam! The editing is so incredibly well done as well. I started watching this in bed last night while doing research for my project and usually when I find stuff this late I just bookmark it and go through it in my next session but the start of the video and every single minute until the end was so captivating that I ended up watching the entire thing immediatly anyways. Spectacular job!

Unfathomably based.

A really fantastic explanation.

dude....

Fantastic video, you did a great job explaining the pitfalls of commonly-taught methods and how to circumvent them. I do, however, have a minor correction for your comment at 20:15 In many applications HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness and is different from HSV or HSB. With HSL, the output will always be white when L is 1.0, where with HSV white can only be achieved if V is at 1.0 and S is at 0.0. That application of HSL is not very relevant here, but distinguishing between the two might help someone coming from a CSS background or something similar.

Pretty good. The only real thing I really see is that it's slightly lighter.

This is the quality I wish every unreal video had.

This video is absolutely terrific! As someone who's trying to learn unreal based on tutorials I find online, I find this approach for sharing knowledge extremelly effective. Not only dumping information, but explaning why you used each node, comparing with other approaches, explaining their downsides, etc. Not to mention how good looking the result is, showing how good of an artist you are. If you ever decide to create an Unreal course, please let us know!

Idk about anyone else but this video makes me want to be your intern lol. Although I would clearly need to re-learn calculus so I could follow along. But nonetheless, seeing cel shading being represented through a physically appropriate viewpoint makes the entire style seem formulaic, which is baffling. An art style beginning as hand drawn and then being created in an engine as sophisticated as UE is genius work. I want to try these ideas out myself for an indie game I’m working on. All credits for the shader will absolutely go towards this channel and expect a fat donation if it makes money haha 🙏🏽

Great video, however I must note that HSV is not the same as HSL, only very similar.

Is there a way to make this pp material work with emissives? Can't find a way around emissive materials... All emissive surfaces showed as black, only lumen is slightly leaking through this pitch black color. I've seen you answered that Emissive is not considered as another channel, but what is it then? I wish i could just make a mask for all emissive surfaces, like you did with metals... Would appreciate your input and opinion on this problem, thanks!

Great breakdown! I'm using the M_CPD_Base material on a asset with multiple material slots. How can I set different primitive data for each material slot?

woow. i llove the look!. i think moebius artworks might have influenced you.
