Hello
It is possible to make a game that looks like Naruto or Dragon Ball Xenoverse?, i been seen a lot of examples of games, scenarios and textures… but none with an anime style?, im just starting with unreal engine, and im intrested in make a game styled like an anime. Anyone knows or have a prove (image or video) that i can make a game like an anime?
People build examples primarily for functionality rather than artistic design because the only limitation to artistic design is your skill and imagination.
correct me if I’m wrong, but a lot of the leg work with the simple art look (like anime-type games) is from the shader
from how I view it, the textures are simple, just 1 flat color to the model. The hair is a bit different, it is a flat color, but the black lines are also put into the texture work
In the presentation, you can see the shader its not even a hard shader. It just compares the surface normal with the light angle, and “if angle > something then shade”. On the presentation you see most of the work is on the character modelling and UVs to create the lines and the good normals so they look perfect.
Its relevantly quite simple yes, there’s even a demo called ‘Stylized Rendering’ that shows how its done.
The cel-shaded shadows are controlled by a material that’s unlit then using a step shading technique from the emissive layer: https://i.imgur.com/P9ATFLr.png
Didn’t helped me so far, the Cel and Edge Shader seams to work to different to get a real Anime look. But I’m still try it, maybe I do something wrong.
