Simple Painterly Shader

A modular Kuwahara oil paint post process material for Unreal Engine 5. Turn your scene into a painting: fine detail melts into soft brush-like strokes while the shapes and edges of the scene stay sharp.

One master post process material with 4 modules: Kuwahara, Depth Fade, Color Grade and Paper. Each module can be turned on or off with a Static Switch, and disabled modules cost nothing.

Depth Fade gives you fine strokes up close and bold strokes in the distance, and the Paper module adds a tileable canvas grain over the whole image. Every module is a reusable Material Function, and 4 ready-to-use presets are included: Oil Paint, Watercolor, Storybook and Dream.

No C++, no plugins and no external dependencies are required. The demo environment shown in the images is not included.
