Topic: Technical Shading In Unreal - Simple Toon/Comic/Cel Shading

In this video we take a look at a couple simple techniques to produce more Stylized and Toon or Comic like materials in Unreal Engine. We look at a few techniques to mask out edge details using DDX/DDY as well as some simple highlight thresholding to tint and change the color of our resulting material. These approaches can be used in combination to produce more complex effects.

$Unreal Engine 5.5 - PCG Compute Introduction (Fractals in HLSL) Topic: Unreal Engine 5.5 PCG Compute Introduction (Fractals With HLSL) In this video we take a look at how to use the new Unreal 5.5 Compute Shaders (HLSL) with PCG. We will go over a brief introduction on how to Generate Points using HLSL in PCG. We then will start to add a bit more complexity and go over how to create fractal patterns (Julia Set) and utilize attributes like scale and color.

In some cases it may also be very beneficial to utilize Meshes that have Nanite enabled. Just try to avoid overdraw/overlapping meshes on the points with PCG or Nanite since that really slows things down.
