Classic Station Lighting

CLASSIC STATION LIGHTING V4

This is a playable demo, as well as alternative purchase option of my PSX lighting and effects tool for UE4+5.

FAB Link

Classic Station Lighting, or CSL, stylised material and blueprints system to make PSX style projects.

FEATURING: Dynamic Vertex lighting system for Unreal, powered by blueprints, materials an Niagara to create a look as close to the PSX as possible, or have the hand picked aesthetics that the user desires.

All of this is easily configured with a simple settings manager and even demo maps to see it in action. There are template master materials to get the user started including: particles, landscape, water and FX, as well as some others.

Now comes with LITE versions of the needed blueprints and material function
