  • Today, we learn how to create a bunch of different types of materials in Unreal Engine 4! We create a diffuse material, a shiny material, an emission material and a metallic material! Plus, we learn how to make an object, shiny or get rid of it's shine, emit a small amount of light... or glow up a room - and much more!

    @faddlewaddle2615 2 роки тому

    Thanks for this.
    Admittedly, this is now nearly 4 years after you posted this and I'm doing it in UE5. Yours is one of a number of tutes I'm watching on Materials for the day.
    I see how things have changed since merely applying the color with a value of say, 25 directly to Emissive Color does the same thing.
    Regardless, consider me a new subscriber. :)

    If your emission isn't working I think I have the solution
    Under Place Actors in upper left corner
    click on All Classes to search
    Search Post Process Volume and add it to your scene
    Scale it to cover what you have in your scene that you want to emit or glow
    Double click post process volume in the World Outliner
    Look at your Details panel----> Click Lens----> Select Bloom------> Go to intensity-----> Turn it up
    Mine was turned off by default for some reason and I think this should solve people's issues.
    The node tree is just fine

    Quick question: Which resolutions can textures/materials in Unreal Engine have? Like, with dimensions (height and width), power of two: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and so on?

    In general, all Unreal Engine games have some kind of untouched glossiness to them that make them identifiable from a mile away.
    All the games I'm not interested in playing based on their gloss-level are listed under the "unreal engine games" on wikipedia.
    I know it's crazy but I can't stand it

    • @TutsByKai
      @TutsByKai  5 років тому +1

      MAN! I hear that! I've played SO many itch.io games on my gaming channel, and seen so many glossies that I could gloss an entire wall from memory...

    • @midinerd
      @midinerd 5 років тому +1

      @@TutsByKai Yeah. The games themselves can be super friggin dope. but the engine gloss - is this a default dealy that people run into if assets are untouched? I dunno
