Stylized Materials for Linear Content
summary
Shows how Unreal Engine materials produce 2D-style linear content by combining real-time Fresnel tuning, a Material Parameter Collection fed from a light-rig blueprint, and layered blends to crush highlights and shadows into bands. Demonstrates injecting HLSL via the custom node HLSL and using SceneTexture post-processes to run a Sobel edge detector and a Kuwahara filter for painterly noise suppression. Describes building a custom shading model, rim lights, and line-art driven from depth and normals, with final-pixel examples from Zafari, Beachbuds and a MetaHuman test.
