Unreal engine 4 textures
You will need to be in a Play-in-editor (PIE) session to see it. This does not get previewed in the editor viewport, even in 'Simulate' mode. Major caveat with V4 and above - To achieve the low resolution look, this system dynamically adjusts the console parameter r.ScreenPercentage to hit a target resolution, which drops the render resolution of the frame ( see Unreal docs here).

This also means that if I update the blueprint in future, any non-breaking changes will simply propagate to your own version without breaking your defaults. I would recommend creating your own Child Blueprint (Right click > Create Child Blueprint Class) and creating your own default settings. The 'hacky' version provided works well in some scenes, but for most it just messes with the brightness. There are currently two, and I would recommend sticking to accurate bayer dithering (the default) for now - I'm still experimenting with other dither methods. YUV is more faithful to the PS1, but does not handle very colourful scenes so well where you might want to push the available colours up a notch.

The default settings should 'just work', but everything is commented to explain what's going on. To use the post-process material, drop 'BP_RetroPostProcess' into your scene - it doesn't matter where. It should work in subsequent versions though, as the functionality is pretty basic.Īs of writing (June 2021) I have not tested this in Unreal Engine 5 - but it will probably work just fine. This has been made & tested in Unreal Engine version 4.25. The demo content is optional, none of the core materials / material functions depend on it. As of Version 4, I'm including a bit more demo content and I'm probably going to add a little prototype retro game, if I get round to it.Īll you really need is the 'RetroShader' folder - you can ignore 'DemoContent' if you want. Getting Startedįor Version 2 and above, I'm distributing this as a complete project.

Happy to accept contributions if anyone has improvements / tweaks / new shaders to add. If I've forgotten to give someone credit, my apologies, it isn't intentional. Some functions are based on other people's work online, I've tried to include comments linking to their work where I can remember. Note that this pack is not intended as a 'realistic' PS1 imitation - if you want to mimic more of the PS1's strange rendering artifacts, I recommend Marcis' pack available on itch.io here. I may add more stuff over time but I think this provides the most common effects you'd want for this kind of project. This is an Unreal Engine 4 material & post-process pack for all your retro PS1-esque game needs.
