How to Smooth Anime Face Shadow in Unity URP Without Editing Face Normal

One mistake in 11:55, I said "Set Anti-Aliasing to 8x". It should be "Set Anti-Aliasing to SMAA".
Notice that the shadow texture in this video can be customized which means you can generate the texture with the face shadow you want. I will introduce how to do that in future videos!
Sorry for my bad English, I hope the subtitles in this video could help you figure out the shader!

I love you LoBey. This is so much better than messing with the normals.

[@AWanderingOrc]

Your videos are elegant and fantastic, thanks so much for uploading :)

Amazing as always, don't worry about english everything is understandable even without subtitles even though it's not my native language

Gracias!

Very nice video ! This would be very cool If you can show us the same method but on Unreal Engine because I don't think Unreal use the same system as Unity

[@user-dy4qs4xk6p]

Thank you for introducing such a wonderful feature! How did you create this Shadow Detail Texture?

[@xxgreninjagamingxx2565]

Could you do a amplify shader editor version of this? I would love to see how it works with that aswell

[@linekan2086]

Hello! Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question, I would like the shadow to appear at a more open angle, I mean, if I turn the directional light to the left 45 degrees I get full shadow but instead of that I would like to have the full shadow at 120 degrees for example. What should I do to be able to do that? Thanks!

[@alecmackintosh2734]

you could always make your own sdf texture to fit your needs better

[@aslack6145]

Thx uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, just wonder how i can create the shadow gradient in function of faces, some photoshop i suppose

[@dragongaiden1992]

good information friend, I have 2 questions this method can be done with any model of mmd? and another question can this method be done only in unity or can it also be done in blender? I want to make lightmap, and shadowmap and metamap but it looks complex

[@SPECTTRVRC]

Is there any way to expand the angle limit from 90 to 135? I’ve tried configuring this but I don’t know how to change the math without getting inconsistent results or breaking everything, the problem is that the light falls off of the face quicker than the body and looks strange when at the angle limit, thanks for the tutorial btw !

[@jamaalsineke2405]

Hey LoBey......this is brilliant.....do you know how I'd start replicating this in Unreal Engine?

[@nine_illus]

Hi! Great video! i completely followed the tutorial but it was not working for me, can you help?

[@cerdito1086]

I get an error: Shader error in 'Shader Graphs/Master': undeclared identifier 'TransformWorldToShadowCoord' at Assets/CustomLighting.hlsl(24) (on d3d11) Does anyone know how to solve it?

[@raka2844]

Is it better to translate the vertex group first? You can easily do this by changing them in pmd

[@darshan5044]

Can u teach this method completely in blender only please? Thanks!

[@leesanghee-ho3en]

my material shows all black and nothing to change. Everything is same as the tutorial, what should I do??

[@Eu.Claire]

can you make a video on how to make customize the face shadow texture?

[@lobeyjongamedev676]

I will make it!

[@Hikizuru]

Doesn't this method mean, that you'd need to create a shadow texture for every part of the mesh? Hair, Body, Clothes, Face etc.

[@hellowngarfgar778]

can we have a anime character design and sculpture on blender?

[@lobeyjongamedev676]

I have plan to make character modeling videos by using blender :)

[@Vishal-rfx]

@@lobeyjongamedev676 can you make an anime character modeling instead, because there is no updated series in making anime character modeling in blender

[@lobeyjongamedev676]

Of course, will do in future. I have finished a Nezuko model in blender and rigging it recently.

Could you make a water shader tutorial ?
