V.I.P 5.2 5.0 Materials Celes Anime Shader 5.0+

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.

[Key Features]

1. Customizable gradient value for adjusting the softness or hardness of shadows.
2. Two specular modes for anime-style highlights on hair or metallic objects.
3. FakeSSS effect on the edges of the character model to enhance the three-dimensionality.
4. Adjustable rim lighting color on models
5. Outline effect is based on the outline of the model.

[Advanced Features]

1. Edge highlights for producing highlights on the character model edges, adding a translucent effect.
2. Supporting NormalMap.
3. Supporting single light source CastShadow.

[Additional Items]

1. Includes one Japanese anime-style character as a rendering reference.

[Technical Details and Considerations]

1. By default, only the DirectionalLight source direction is supported, and multiple light source rendering is currently not available.
2. 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.
