ShaderShift: Engine Shaders Override allows you to customize the look of your Unreal Engine game without being an expert at HLSL. With simple, easy to understand options, you can change tonemapper, diffuse and specular BRDFs and bloom methods to set your game apart from the crowd.

ShaderShift works by replacing the Engine's shaders in a way that is portable, non-destructive and easy to use. No need for a custom engine version to add customizations to the Engine's default shaders, and it's easy to share with your team.

If you have experience with HLSL, you can also configure your own customizations to any Unreal Engine shader, with a convenient options menu in your Project Settings to swap back and forth between engine defaults and your custom shaders.

Over time, we'll be adding more types of rendering customization to the plugin to give you even more ways to customize the look of your game!

To learn more and see the entire range of options, information about performance impact and how to add your own shader customizations, check out the documentation.
