Release date:2020, May
Author:Daniel Orchard
Skill level:Beginner
Language:English
Exercise files:Yes
What Will I Learn?
Learn to create material through practical demonstrations of all shader types and designs
Requirements
A Basic understanding of Unreal will be helpful
A Understanding of texturing in general (not specific to UE4) will also be useful
Description
In this series I will be taking you with the setup of a large number of different materials to teach you how to utilise the Unreal 4 material system in a practical way. We will start with some theory on how to use the material UI, the PBR workflow, and addons to the system such as layers and material functions. Then we will move into practical demonstrations, creating new materials each video to cover as many different elements and designs as we can.
Across the series we will look at:
- Opaque
- Translucent
- Masked
- Light Functions
- Deferred Decals
We will not be exploring UI, Post Process, Volume or Skin shaders in this series as those fall into a more advanced category
