Toon shading model

[anonymous_user_6fdb871b1 (anonymous_user_6fdb871b)]

When we see integrated into EU4?

[Mhousse1247]

Really awesome!

[Headstub]

Would it be possible for someone to provide an example of type of shading done with the “Remapped Shading Model” that DanielW talked about?

[Arnage]

As you may have noticed from my lack of updates recently I’ve been really busy lately. Since a lot of you seem to be interested I’ve decided I’ll simply release the source and send a pull request to Epic in case they want to integrate it. It needs a little work to get it cleaned up and working with the latest version of UE4 though. (turns out the shading model stuff has had a refactor recently)

I hope to have the time to finish that weekend.

would be quite easy if it existed, the problem is that he was talking about a hypothetical shading model that does not yet exist in the engine.

Wow, thank you so much for . I think I speak for everyone when I say that will be very appreciated!

Alright, would that be easier to intigrate into the engine than the current shading method you’re using?

Yeah, thank you so much! Giving out for free… just awesome!

Anxiously waiting! Thanks!

Just thought I would give a bump and say looks awesome.

Has the PR been sent in yet?

[WinterLanternPro]

Also waiting!

Looks great and would pay money for!

I guess I shouldn’t make promises as I haven’t had the chance to finish it yet. Sorry about that, I’ll try to get around to it soon and will post here when I do.

Hey No problem,

Get around to it when you can

What version are you currently updating it for? 4.8 or 4.9?

Just curious as to whether I should stick with 4.8 atm.

I’m currently working of the master branch, so 4.10. That way it should be easy for epic to integrate it if they choose to.

I’m slowly getting there though, it currently works fine again, it just needs some final adjustments.

Let us know when you make the Pull request

[Mercurial_Forge]

is amazing I hope it’s added sooner or later. I’ve tried for days to get clipped hard shadows in a cel shaded look with no luck. Not having a lighitng buffer to read from is really hard… lol.

[anonymous_user_f1aa296f]

Hello there! Super excited about your shader work! Is there any progress on getting it integrated? Are you selling the code or giving it away? I would love to get my hands on it

What I am curious about is the versatility of shading model. I mean, sure, you called it a toon shading model, so I reckon it is pretty clear what it does at its base, but what if you try to get creative with it? Is it possible to expose various variables you are using to create your own derivatives? Like for instance, in the stepped lighting, would I be able to influence the individual steps, like turning it into a rainbow or something? One of the things I miss in the UE4 engine (and yes, I know why it is missing) is the custom lighting model thing. While possibly not a perfect copy of the possibilities, I reckon that toon shader could be a step in the very right direction to get to a “custom lighting model” for UE4.

I would like to know , too. different colors for the steps would be really cool. also, could i use a normal map with the toon shading? or would i have to blend it with the regular shading?

[WinterLanternPro]

Any updates?

Even an early release would be great!

[Arnage]

Finally got around to finishing up. Did a final update from Epic’s master and boom: they also added a new shading model (for hair) which resulted in a whole lot of conflicts in the code, great

Anyway, I think I fixed all of them and am recompiling now. If all is well I’ll make the pull request and post the link here soon. Just promise that that you guys make awesome things with it!
