Make your game look like it was sculpted by hand: This fully customizable claymation shader adds a sculpted texture, stop-motion animation and handmade imperfections to your assets in Unreal Engine 5 and has several parameters to control:
Clay Surface Detailing - Adjustable bump patterns, fingerprints and vertex offset*
Stop-Motion - Optional frame stepping to mimic hand-animated movement
Custom Texture and Colors - Make plasticine, ceramic or waxy looks
Animation-Friendly - Works on characters, props and environments
Custom Marks - Tool scrape marks for extra clay feel
This shader will also work on animated meshes and looks even more realistic if the animation already has a stopmotion look.
The material will come with 5 example instances as well as one stylized fingerprint texture and normal texture - feel free to use other custom textures as well.
Engine Compatibility
Tested in Unreal Engine 5.2. Might not work in other versions so please use those for guaranteed compatibility.
DISCLAIMERS
In the mesh settings in the properties tab, adjust the bounds extends for a vertex offset. This might result in flickering meshes if the value is set too high so use with caution.
