Dirty Comic Shader

[DaDonik]

Hi there!

 

I was editing an older shader today to help out Engineer Ken with his Borderlands idea and it turns out to look quite nicely. Therefore i decided to share some images with you and also share the shader if there is enough interest. The code is a mess atm and i need to clean it up first.

 

Performance wise it's less demanding than SSAO.

 

This is just SSAO and DirtyComic shader running:

 

This is the same scene without DirtyComic. SSAO is still on:

 

I must admit that i set up the ambient light to 0.5, because otherwise the final picture would be too dark. Thats the reason why the normal LE rendering looks so washed out.

That makes sense to me. If your outlines are black, you need a fairly bright ambient color in order to retain contrast.

I like the final comic effect very much for a game

[Roland]

I also like that comic realism. Very nice

[Pixel Perfect]

Looks great .. nice work!

[DaDonik]

Thanks guys! Looks like i have to clean up the code then.

 

It's already running in the editor. I use it instead of hdr, but i'm wondering if there is a particular post effect no one really uses much. That way only the "least" important shader will be lost for those who use the comic shader.

Thank's for this great shader DaDonik. Really nice of you to share.

No problem Roland, we all like to get things for free and most of the people here are happy to help each other

That looks great! It truly looks like your looking at a hand-painted picture, I love it.
