Turn any scene into a living painting.

NEW in v3: drag one Blueprint into your level and you're done. Full list in the Changelog below.

Stylized Arcane Process is a painterly post-process for Unreal Engine 5. Drag one Blueprint into your level and your 3D scene becomes a hand-painted image: flat light planes, warm light against cool colored shadows, oil brush strokes that follow the shapes of your scene, a painted haze in the distance, and bold hand-drawn ink outlines around the characters you choose.

HOW TO USE (10 seconds)

Step 1 — In the Content Browser, open PostProcess/Blueprints.

Step 2 — Drag BP_SAP_Style_Default into your level. Its position does not matter: it covers the whole level.

Step 3 — For ink outlines, tick Render CustomDepth Pass on your character meshes.

Step 4 — Want another look? Delete the style Blueprint and drag in another one: BoldInk, Watercolor, MoonlitNight or IndustrialUndercity. Keep one per level.

Prefer your own Post Process Volume? Tick Infinite Extent (Unbound), then Rendering Features → Post Process Materials → + → MI_SAP_Default (or any preset). Both methods are in the PDF guide.

FEATURES

✔ Drag-and-drop style Blueprints: one per preset (Default, Bold Ink, Watercolor, Moonlit Night, Industrial Undercity). Swap the look in one drag.

✔ One master material, 5 ready-made presets, 70 live settings.

✔ Hand-drawn ink outline on characters only (Custom Depth), with optional team colors by stencil value.

✔ Oil brush strokes that follow the shapes of your scene, with optional impasto and canvas weave.

✔ Warm light, cool shadows: the two-temperature palette of painted films, fully tintable.

✔ Painted atmosphere: distance haze in your colors, with only a light touch on the sky.

✔ Rim light, inner lines, optional charcoal sketch lines on the environment.

✔ Runs before TSR/TAA: outlines are anti-aliased with the rest of the image and don't shimmer in motion.

✔ Style Zones: a drag-and-drop box that gives one area its own look (cave, dream, boss arena) on top of the level's style, blended softly at its border.

✔ 70 parameters in numbered groups, from the essential (1 - Ink Outline) to the advanced, each with a tooltip, slider range and live preview.

✔ Debug View to see the character mask, the ink alone or the depth used.

✔ PDF user guide in 7 languages: English, Français, Español, Deutsch, 中文, 日本語, Русский.

✔ Demo level with a free camera: fly around, then swap the style Blueprint to compare the looks.
