The main issue is likely that your UVs need to be quantized to match your sprite’s pixel grid. Add this function to snap the UV cords: shader_type canvas_item; uniform int cell_levels : hint_range(1, 10) = 3; uniform sampler2D normal_map : filter_nearest; uniform vec2 texture_size = vec2(64.0, 64.0); // Set this to your sprite's dimensions vec2 snap_to_pixel(vec2 uv) { return floor(uv * texture_size) / texture_size; } void light() { // Get pixel-perfect UV coordinates vec2 pixelated_uv = snap_to_pixel(UV); // Sample the normal map with pixelated UVs vec3 normal_map_value = texture(normal_map, pixelated_uv).rgb * 2.0 - 1.0; vec3 normal = normalize(normal_map_value); // Calculate the light direction vec3 light_dir = normalize(LIGHT_DIRECTION); // Calculate the light intensity using the dot product float light_intensity = max(dot(normal, light_dir), 0.0); // Posterize the light intensity for cell-shading float cell_light = floor(light_intensity * float(cell_levels)) / float(cell_levels - 1); // Apply the cell-shaded lighting to the light color LIGHT = LIGHT_COLOR * cell_light; } When working with pixel art and normal maps, getting the lighting to perfectly align with the sprite pixels can be tricky. I can find a few vids I like that can help you if you want? I normally write in another language so some of the built in functions might be a little funky just lmk if it works and i can check em when I get home

### Godot Version Godot 4.3 ### Question So I want to create a cell shaded effect for my sprites based on the Normal map. As you can hopefully see in the picture, I can not get my lights to snap to the pixels of the actual sprite. Shader code: shader_type canvas_item; // Number of cell-shading levels (adjust as needed) uniform int cell_levels : hint_range(1, 10) = 3; // Normal map texture (assign this in the Godot editor) uniform sampler2D normal_map : filter_nearest; void light() { // Sample the normal map and convert it to a world-space normal vec3 normal_map_value = texture(normal_map, UV).rgb * 2.0 - 1.0; vec3 normal = normalize(normal_map_value); // Calculate the light direction (from the fragment to the light source) vec3 light_dir = normalize(LIGHT_DIRECTION); // Flip the direction // Calculate the light intensity using the dot product float light_intensity = max(dot(normal, light_dir), 0.0); // Posterize the light intensity for cell-shading float cell_light = floor(light_intensity * float(cell_levels)) / float(cell_levels - 1); // Apply the cell-shaded lighting to the light color LIGHT = LIGHT_COLOR * cell_light; } I have everything set to filtering: Nearest. I am not great at shaders and am hoping that I am missing something obvious.
