Post your material setup and maybe a image of what DOSNT work? Kind of hard to guess whats wrong.

I don't know, maybe you should make it work?


Seriously, if you want some answers you need to provide more information than just "it doesn't work".

It doesn't work because you touch yourself at night under the sheets.

But... If that's the reason, why do my shaders work then? :O

GILBoY

ok ok sorry guys was my mistake was not provide more information about my problem this is the situation i literally copy all the nodes from the image of the UDN here's the comparison of the materials

UDN


Mine


and the results are extremely different my material turns purple like this



all the other parameter works normal like the speed of the falling water but the material diffuse simply not shown i change the blend mode on BLEND_Translucent and Lighting Model MLM_Phong but still the same

So I know normal maps in photoshop tend to look like what you have in your material network, but, I know in UDK when you inport them with normal map compression (TCnormalmap) they look like the the example in you show in the tutorial.

So maybe that is an issue, at a glance.

Changing your blend mode to translucent wont do anything. You have nothing plugged into that channel.

You might want to start with something a little more basic.


have a texture that has some different 0,1 values.
use a panner to get things moving.
use a power node to push the values a bit.
multiply it to your diffuse texture... plug into spec.

Doing this should make your material look wet and move.

What does your cubemap for the reflection look like?

Am i the only one seeing that he plugged in the normal map in the Diffuse UV input?

Do you mean the topmost texture sample on the left side? It's supposed to be a cubemap for the reflection which is basically what gives the shader the wet look.
