UE5 Celes Anime Shader(Character Cel-Shader)

CelesAnimeShader provides a solution for Japanese anime-style rendering, requiring no complex BP or C++ coding. With just a BaseColor texture, you can quickly transform your character into an anime-style rendering.

The rendering core is based on custom shader lighting instead of traditional PostProcess, allowing adjusting in lighting, shadows, colors, and fine details between characters.

The shading model uses the light-weight Unlit option, which significantly reduces unnecessary shadows generated by default lighting.

Technical Details

Features:

• Includes one Japanese anime-style character. (With walk/run animation)

• Supporting single light source CastShadow.

Number of Unique Materials and Material Instances: 4 material for shader core

Number of Textures: 6 texture for shader core + 7 textures for character

Performance: Due to the Unlit model not accepting shadows, the provided CastShadow solution relies on the PerObjectShadowMap method to obtain shadows. It supports shadow casting from a single light source only, and using this feature extensively may impact performance.
