Advice for Better Glass on Object?

Humble_Dragon · May 2021

I have been trying to put together a render in Unreal for a prop I have made in the past but I can't quite get the glass to look as good as it did in Marmoset. This is my first go with Unreal Engine 4 so I'm open for any tips folks can provide!

In Unreal:

In Marmoset:

Try surface forward lighting mode.

Surface foward lighting mode gets this result:

The lighting is better but I seem to lose some of the wear on the glass surface. @Obscura

Try playing with the opacity and roughness values. Unfotrunately transparency is a weak side of this engine, and it will be hard to match it to the Marmoset result.
