Hair Shaders - Advanced Materials - Episode 13

[@sarasummers9482]

Yes! I've been looking for a video like this forever. Thank you for making this - your videos are the best!!

[@anon64mus66]

OMG, where this channel been all this time?! I loooove this content. Please keep making this amazingly helpful videos, these videos are a essential for artists working with UE and Unity. Thank you very much!

[@binyaminbass]

Where have you been all this time? Ben's been crushing it for ages!

[@milhouse8166]

Can you please help me. I'm trying to figure out this hair thing in unity for a week. I even updated my unity version. I don't know the proper way to apply these hair cards. I tried one and it doesn't cover the scalp. Do I have to apply another material for underneath?

[@thomasf2736]

Danke!

[@Nysa3D]

Thank you for your vast knowledge of materials in the Unreal Engine.

[@badoli1074]

That's Unity, not UE, isn't it?

[@Nysa3D]

@@badoli1074 I thanks Ben for all the tutorials.

[@martinb5734]

@@badoli1074 Ben teaches us shaders for both Unity and Unreal, he wants to give us the knowledge to be able to pick up a shader tutorial for Unity and replicate the effect in Unreal and viceversa after watching his tutorials.

[@badoli1074]

@@martinb5734 So this is actually an Unreal Tutorial....? LOL I'm learning things here.

[@deiniou]

Ouch... I thought in this video we would have built a shader nut just inspect the shader that comes with unreal. I don't know if you have a video like this or not, but it would be nice to see your take on a hair shader.

[@FireF1y644]

Is it possible to make a Hair shader in UE 5 without dithering? Because it looks awful with TSR

[@north6935]

I wonder how one would go about making the hair wet? Any tips?

[@milhouse8166]

Great video, but how does one actually use the hair cards on a character? I tried applying a hair card as a material and it looks like the character's hair is thinning and patchy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@ecruz2317]

neat work, looking forward to trying these one day, appreciate it.

[@firejjb1]

not sure about why TAA is needed for card-based hair but not strand-based hair? sorry if I missed this

[@Gildartz1019]

thank you for explaining, how i can get this material hair shader for unreal sir?

[@Tenchinu]

weird question, how would you make the colors of the hair match the UV coordinates? I'm drew an animal print in Substance... and when the maps are applied in blender the strands extend the colors of the mesh, but that just doesn't translate into Unreal. Any tips on how to do that?

[@jozseflaszlo7445]

Oof, I don't understand how you opened and managed to modify the hair in Unreal. I see you have two windows. One being the hair curves mesh or what's it called and the other the mi_hair material instance. But if I modify the mi_hair nothing happens to my opened hair. How do you do that?

[@lezipoa916]

hi, how are you, could you help me with the alias wavefront power animator?

[@martinb5734]

Hi Ben, great tutorial as always. Wanted to ask you, what can I do to achieve a stylized hair shader that fits the anime style where hair is reflective on specific parts?

[@李䶮-o4w]

Hello Ben, why does the anisotropy channel work on translucent mode materials in Unity while it doesn't in Unreal? And how am I supposed to make Anisotropy work on a translucent material in UE? Thank you for your helpful videos and wish you good luck. You are the No.1 Material TA Mentor in my heart.

[@ultracapitalistutopia3550]

In UE, you need to change the lighting mode of translucent material to enable PBR, I believe it is the last 2 options in the translucent lighting mode, but keep in mind that they are very performance-taxing and should be used sparingly.

[@李䶮-o4w]

@@ultracapitalistutopia3550 Thank you very much for your idea, while I tried all the lighting modes and none of them supports the Anisotropy to work. And I just did tried them again as you mentioned, which turned out the same end. Surface forward shading mode is what I'm currently using trying to create an advanced lace silk stock material. The solution I took is that I used another masked material to make the Anisotropy work and blend it as the override material onto the basic translucent material. If you think I'm wrong or have better ideas on this, please comment. Thank you again for your reply.

[@0805slawek]

It would be great if you show technicue how make good looking and optimized moss, becouse moss like hair also havy for use tiny planes and bad looking for one big mesh

[@liju24]

Anyone knows how to use high quality line rendering on custom mesh with line topology without any animation. It seems to work only with the animation system. Unity gives workflow in their documentation but it simply doesnt work. Error pops up

[@BenCloward]

Probably better to ask this Unity-specific question in the HDRP section of the Unity forum and include the details of the error.

[@TY_Blender]

always thanks you :D

[@yarosyari3516]

Do you know can I use M_Hair_Master shader from Digital Human unreal asset in my project for unreal market?

[@BenCloward]

That's a question for Epic.

[@yarosyari3516]

@Ben Cloward they let me do it, but I need have put it in demo folder like epic animations with ect. Another 1 -what the maps should I bake for UDRP hair shader in unity?

Hey Ben, is there any way where someone can send you some money / make a donation towards you? A Ko-fi, a patreon or just a paypal link? I found your videos and feel like this is on paid course level. So I'd like to give you a lil something, because you totally deserve it for all the great work you put into here.

[@BenCloward]

That's very kind of you, thanks! I've had a few people use the Super Thanks button below the video to make a donation. You're welcome to do that.

[@thomasf2736]

@@BenCloward Ah cool, i didn't know that button even was a thing. I send you something. I hope it goes through. Keep up the wonderful work, you're an amazing teacher.

I came up with that shader within seconds before watching this video... even though I've never used Unity or Unreal in my life. Isn't this taught in primary school?

[@b4h455]

Came up and do so + figuring it out are super-different things.

[@Khoura]

I love this!! How about a fisheye camera shader?
