[Assets] NPR Shader Sets - Screenspace Magic - July 2025

Added 2025-07-16 08:07:38 +0000 UTC

Sorry for the delayed release!!! It’s been a wild ride getting through Anime Expo with our ORIGINAL SHOW "Soul Mart" on the way! Make sure you check out our Soul Mart launch trailer and Dillon’s appearance on the Trash Taste Podcast to see what we’ve been up to! More about Soul Mart will be revealed next month here on Patreon!!

But we’re back with month 8 of our Year of Assets! Last month, we released the Fantasy Academy Pack. For this month, we are releasing something very special! We’re calling it Screen Space Magic. All of these screen space effects are made for the NPR Open Movie Project, and we can’t wait to show you every single one of them to you! All of these effects can be applied to any material!

Screenspace Magic

Blur

For the first time, we have proper blur in the shaders. This is equivalent to box blur in image editing software, but applied right to your objects.

Speed Trails

This was made using the Image Sample node which comes with an incredibly useful Offset input which allows us to make this effect easily.

Kuwahara Filter

Just like the Kuwahara filter in the compositor which can make your render look painterly, this is Kuwahara filter in the shaders, so you can apply it to any material of your choice!

Painterly Effect

With the introduction of the Repeat Zone and the Image Sample node, we are able to sample the color anywhere on the screen and use a brush mask to apply those colors on the material.

You can download the file with all of these shaders here! Enjoy! Keep in mind that you'll need the NPR Prototype to open these files!!

This is just Part 1 of our developed Screen Space tools- Part 2 will be coming out for you all at the beginning of August. Look forward to a custom Pixelation filter, new custom Normals, and more!
