Stylised Comic-Book Shader in Unreal Engine 5

Hello! My name is Laisha, and I am a Technical Artist specialising in stylised shaders, VFX, and post-processing techniques.

This project showcases a stylised comic-book shader inspired by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Hi-Fi Rush. The shader was developed in Unreal Engine 5 and includes features such as:
-Line-art and ink-style outlines
-Cel-shading
-Cross-hatching in shadow regions
-Halftone dots in both shadows and bloom
-A custom ToneMapper enabling user control of brightness, exposure, contrast, and saturation

Created as my final-year specialism project at Escape Studios, this work reflects my passion for stylised VFX and real-time rendering pipelines.

I am incredibly proud of how far I’ve progressed. At the beginning of this project, I had limited experience with post-processing in Unreal Engine, and this work has significantly increased my confidence and technical understanding.
