Question Trying to get 'even/flat' lighting on stylized grass.

Hello,
I am trying to make some stylized grass. I am using the Amplify Shader Editor for the grass shader. The style I am trying to go for is where the grass is 'flat' and has no lighting of it's own, but still receives shadows.

I have a grass quad that I have rotated the normals of to point up. The problem I am having is that when the grass plane is rotated at an angle, it has different lighting, darker/lighter. This is easiest seen at the bottom of the attached image.

The shader currently is basically the default shader, but with out any face culling.

Here are a couple of examples of the style of grass I am trying to get.


I have been googling for several hours, but not having much luck. I assume it is some small thing I am not realizing. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Use the up vector to compute light instead of the vertex normal

 

Oh my gosh! So I had seen that while googling. But when I tried doing it I did it wrong so I thought it didn't work. After reading that I went and did some more googling on the subject and got it to work. Thank you!

In case I forget, or someone else happens to come across this. This video is about doing custom lighting in ASE, and had the needed information on how to set it up properly (specifically at around the 10 minute mark).

 

i'm dumb but has a programmer i will try too! idk much about share so giving a try in this could be fun.
