Hi there,
I just purchased Chameleon from the asset store. The main reason being I wanted the Kuwahara effect. However, it’s making me (already dark) scene extremely dark.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi,
First of all thanks for your purchase. There’s a vector parameter named “Contrast” in the Kuwahara material. Set it’s value to 1.0 and it would be ok. That parameter was intended to be exposed to user but i forgot to do that for some reason. However, it’ll be on next version. Thanks again.
Chameleon 4.0 is on marketplace now. It’s time to hit the Update button!
Changelog
- New effect: Drawing
- New effect: Magic Transitions
- New effect: Mask Blur

- Fix: Unintended constant pausing caused by the material instancing technique
Hello everyone,
I’m here to introduce a new feature of Chameleon: Recipes
Recipes are basically premade sets of effects created by setting multiple values of the Chameleon to create desired final effect. Recipes are also combinable with other recipes. Here’s a short demo video;
Recipes are coming with the next version of Chameleon, V5.0.
That will be a really handy feature, GJ!
BTW. It’s awesome how it applies immediately after dragging it and hovering over the scene, without need to drop the actor

Yes it is! Also really fun to play with! : )
Hi,
I just downloaded new updates (V4.0), are these only for 4.11? The updates are there for this version but version 4.10.4 no changes and still has that pause issue in 4.10.4, I tried to migrate from 4.11.1 to 4.10.4 but no luck, then I tried the “Add To Project” button, but keeps installing older version?
Hi,
Yes. All major versions of the Chameleon are compatible with the latest version of the engine. There’s a lot of changes under the hood between the engine versions like 4.10 and 4.11 but there’s also a lot of bug fixes. I strongly recommend to upgrading your project. However, if you can’t upgrade then please send me a direct message. I can send a hotfix for freezing bug but it’ll be only bugfix, no new features.
I have bought that this week and it’s perfect for my project 
I look forward the V5 !!
Another example for Anamorphic Lens Flares effect. Higher sample count, native bloom and natural flare colors (no tinting)

Whats the best way to toggle/spawn Chameleon via BP
Since Chameleon’s itself is a blueprint, best way to toggle effects is basically enabling/disabling the individual effect booleans by referencing the Chameleon from the other blueprint. You may want to take a look at https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Blueprints/UserGuide/BlueprintCommsUsage/ for blueprint communication workflow.

Hi, I just purchased this and am loving it so far but I have a few requests in regards to the Kuwahara Postprocess:
- Could you add an option for distance blending? - i.e. start distance and end distance (start being distance at which effect begins to fade in, and end being distance at chich the effect is 100%)
- Could you add the option to change the contrast in the interface?
- Also, Could you make the outline/edge detect part of the effect optional - I quite like the way it looks without it!
- Finally, would it be possible to implement Anisotropic Kuwahara Filtering as is shown here: Image and Video Abstraction by Anisotropic Kuwahara Filtering this looks much nicer than regular Kuwahara and I’d be willing to pay the extra cost if it means getting that image quality!
Thanks!
Very cool effect, great job!
Thanks!
