I wanted to start making the environment looking better I tried adjusting the cel shading post processing but I am not really enjoying how the lighting and shadow looks as a result of that shader,

I also went into reviewing how i can add more graphical touch to my assets, In blender, where I used to create my everyday art, i often used a shader with vertical gradient to tone and give more dimensionality to my flat shaders. I tried a couple of things with world position and eventually found this tutorial that noramlises a conversion of object space for gradient.

Then I went into a rabbit hole of trying to fix the normal of 2 specific tiles 23 and 91. Not quite sure what happened there (maybe something to do with the export setting i had where the mesh has custom normal splits and causes the normal direction all weird. Despite trying out to smooth out and rebuild the mesh it’s still not quite right.

I will try again tomorrow and maybe take a closer look at shader and look developments. Probably in the direction of this.
