Camera Looks
Stylised looks for any camera, one slider each.
One-click stylised looks for Unreal Engine 5 cameras: painterly, watercolour, anime, toon, comic, pencil, ink lines, pixel art, film, retro VHS and underwater. Mix them with a slider per look.
Supported engine versions: 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8, on Windows (Win64).
Installation
- Close Unreal Engine.
- Copy the
CameraLooksfolder into your project'sPluginsfolder (createPluginsnext to your.uprojectif needed). - Open the project. A Looks button appears in the main toolbar.
How to use it
- Select one or more cameras (Cine Camera Actors) to style them, or select nothing to style the whole level.
- Click Looks and move the slider of each look (0 to 100 %). Looks can be combined, for example 30 % Film over 80 % Watercolour.
- Each camera keeps its own mix (instances in
/Game/CameraLooks/<level>/<camera>). For the level, the plugin creates its own post process volumeCameraLooks_PostProcessin the CameraLooks folder.
The looks work the same in the editor viewport, when piloting a camera (letterboxed or not) and in Movie Render Queue.
