Procedural Pixel art + Custom viewport pixel art shader :
Description :
This is a smart material of HD2D style or pixel art which I was inspired by from Octopath Traveler.
One day, I was thinking about Substance Designer and whether it is possible to create a pixel art style or not.
From what I've seen on ArtStation portfolios, most of them contain stylized and realistic smart materials, but there aren't that many for pixel art. So, I decided to experiment with this idea.

Issue :
Default viewport of Substance Designer is not suitable for pixel art creation.
Solution :
So, I did some research about filtering and then implemented nearest neighbor filtering to Substance Designer's default shader to achieve the features I needed.
Then I edited the default viewport sample shader of Substance Designer to support pixel art texture creation.
Light and Shadow Feature :
This feature allow you to adjust shadow and light position in pixel art texture.
