Creating custom materials in Substance Painter
I have some photo scanned textures that I've imported into a Painter project. Can I save the material or do I need to re import the textures each time I use them in a project? I feel like I'm overlooking something simple. Note, I see where I can R Click and save a smart material, but I'm really just trying to save as a… -
Composite material node Blender cycles??
I was wondering if anyone here who uses Blender has ever come across a custom material node probably made by someone that allows you to blend up to 10 materials and mix them using masks. Like Vray Blend materials? Because currently Blender mix shader only allows you to mix 2. This is very useful for very complex shaders… -

Re: Scripted materials and param blocks
Only way (currently) to salvage is to install the old material, open the file, strip all materials, save, install new material, open, re-create all materials. PITA. Maybe we just need to write a conversion system. But other studios must have figured out a way to make new versions backwards compatible. -
UE4: Mesh emitter with refraction material "breaking" UE4
Hi, I'm trying to make a shockwave just when a energy ball explodes. This shockwave is made out of a mesh emitter (sphere) that quickly expands with a refraction (glass material with a water normal map on it) material on it to simulate hot air that distorts everything. But some weird stuff is hapening and it's not working… -

I can create good PBR textures and at the moment just slot them into the relevant slot and im done(they look ok/good). The most… -
UE4 Dynamic Landscape Material
Hey guys I've been working on a rather advanced landscape material for a project of mine in UE4. The final product will hopefully look like the "Landscape Auto Material" from the unity asset store, However, be more realistic and advanced. I have many features in mind, and a deep understanding of the UE4 material editor and… -
How would you approach this. 2 sided material related.
Hey, I was wondering what would be the best approach for this models material. This is a glass wall and it has blinds in the middle. I have decided that the best way would be (if I am right). To make it a 2 sided material so when you walk around the other side or the blinds above the players view are still viewable.… -
Re: Creating glass material in UT3
you have to change the material to translucent if you want transparency and connect the opacity texture to the opacity node, not the opacity mask one. also, you should seperate your model with different material IDs for the glass and the rest. then in unreal make 2 materials. one normal mat for your metal and one for the… -
Re: Importing game character with different types of material profile in ue4?
Assign a material for each part of that model necessary. On import into unreal, check "import materials." double click material icon, set up accordingly. You'll need better instructions if it's your first time. You can find them in the Unreal Learn area. This all belongs in Material 101. Quixel has some good youtube videos…
