[Trailer](https://youtu.be/AX_HLG7BxFE) [Interactive Shader Preview](https://athiangames.com/products/art-of-shader-ultimate-post-process#shader-explorer) [Documentation](https://athiangames.com/docs/art-of-shader-ultimate-post-process) [Join Me On Discord](https://discord.gg/kz7c6pHzjW) **Art of Shader Ultimate Post Process** is a customizable post-process collection for Unreal Engine, bringing together expressive toon and illustration styles, cinematic film effects, distortion, glitches, scans, and localized effects in one pack. Start with a preset, combine several effects, and shape the look of your scene with adjustable parameters. From a clean cel-shaded character to an atmospheric film treatment or an animated scan, build a visual style that fits your game or cinematic. **What's Included** - **84 shader presets:** 66 core looks, 12 localization variants, and 6 combined recipes. - **Toon and illustration effects:** cel shading, outlines, ink, watercolor, comic print, and stylized color treatments. - **Film and cinematic effects:** customizable film treatments, grain, color palettes, and analog damage. - **Distortion and glitches:** lens effects, chromatic distortion, and animated glitch looks. - **Scan and localized effects:** control where an effect appears using sphere and box masks, visible-object stencil selection, screen masks, and wipes. - **Multiple material layers:** combine post-process materials with individual blend weights, layer switches, and a master weight for the complete stack. - **Editor and runtime controls:** preview your setup in the editor, then switch materials, adjust weights, and change shader parameters through Blueprints during play. - **Four Niagara lens effects:** Heat Plume, Pressure Wave, Gravity Lens, and Chromatic Rift, using scene color to distort the rendered environment. - **Four example maps:** explore the shader library, editor setup, weighted layers, and localized effects. - **Editable materials and functions:** customize the supplied instances, adapt the material functions, and use the included Blueprints and C++ source in your own project. **Easy to Set Up** Drag **BP\_AOSPostProcess** from the Content Browser into your level, add materials to **Post Process Layers** , and adjust their **Weight** sliders to blend your effects. The same actor works in the editor and at runtime, so your scene setup and gameplay controls use one workflow. **Requirements:** Unreal Engine 5.7 and 5.8, Windows desktop deferred rendering, and the built-in **Niagara** plugin enabled. Niagara is a required dependency for the four included lens effects and is declared in the plugin descriptor. **Example map setup:** Enable **Extend default luminance range in Auto Exposure settings** under **Edit \> Project Settings \> Engine \> Rendering \> Default Settings** (search for “Extend default luminance range”). Restart the editor if prompted. The included example lighting requires this project setting to display correctly; installing the plugin does not enable it automatically. **Explore Before You Buy** Use the Interactive Shader Preview to browse every preset, drag the before-and-after slider, and experiment with shader parameters and colors. The browser preview helps you explore the available customizations; the documentation includes illustrated setup instructions and an Unreal parameter reference. **Please Note:** Promotional characters and environments shown in the trailer and images are for demonstration purposes and are not included. Four plugin example maps are included. This is a standalone pack and does not require another Art of Shader product. See Technical Information for supported rendering targets and effect limitations. > **[Art of Shader Ultimate Post Process](https://www.fab.com/listings/2228b6b4-754b-4d5f-8bd2-a7908a0c2c11)** > > TrailerInteractive Shader PreviewDocumentationJoin Me On DiscordArt of Shader Ultimate Post Process is a customizable post-process collection for Unreal Engine, bringing together expressive toon and illustration styles, cinematic film effects,... ## Feature showcase ### Toon, illustration, film, scan, and distortion Choose a preset and customize its exposed parameters, or build a combination with editable materials and functions. ![Shader collections rendered in Unreal Engine](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/d/8/3/d83bd9e0f3baa474c041d31439cbf61eafff9d43.jpeg) ### Editor setup and weighted material layers Add materials to BP\_AOSPostProcess and drag independent layer weights.
