This wasn't the first time I found your video to be the most useful in a subject; so huge well done, and thanks for this tutorial! (Obviously subscribed)

Heyy, appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@stephanstrydom6175]

Thanks! Its about time Unreal reworked its material system, especially when it comes to glass materials.

[@pinkpocketTV]

Yup!

[@derekheisler2058]

This is great! I've been wanting to get into substrate but haven't seen a lot of tutorials to build them. Thank you. Would love to see more specific ones.

The lesson is super. Thanks how to get rid of non-blurred (hard) edges of an object behind a frosted glass

Very good explanation of the Substrate stuff thank you.

More of Materials Please!!! thumbs way up!👍

[@pinkpocketTV]

Hey, thanks! Appreciate the support.

[@visamalog]

It's really cool, I wanted to use this as the material for a window, but it's mirroring everything next to it but weird. It's not even like a mirror that shows what's in front.

[@dzezonja3558]

I'm so glad I subscribed to you. Really useful and straight forward tutorials you have, thank you!

Ralf, The reflection depends on the roughness. The greater the roughness, the rays are reflected at different wave frequencies, resulting in a less sharp reflection. However, light does continue to reflect. An example of this is the frosted crystals on certain doors and windows. Although specular reflection and roughness work together, they are two very different things.

[@Matt.visualz]

Can you make a video comparing the same materials in legacy and in substrate system?

[@danieldimarchi7479]

If your material is created and includes a different node other than the slab you see here, the solution is to delete the node and add the node "Substrate Slab BSDF - Simple"

[@Arch.Ali.Furkan]

Greath video ! So, can we added some reflections on it ?

[@blturn]

Fantastic video, helped me in a pinch. Although I would say the footage of yourself in the top right-hand corner sometimes obstructs what you're doing on screen.

[@ArpitGolani]

Hey pinkpocket how do i get class caustics in unreal engine 5.3 with substrate please make a tutorial on that please...

[@Buubbles]

Excellent video, thank you so much! :)

[@pinkpocketTV]

You're very welcome!

[@_JonathanTait]

This is great thanks. Nice and simple. Adding to this it, would be great to see some shapes on the glass via displacement (or whatever is the best practice in achieving that look.)

[@blendragon28]

Is this only for certain versions of UE5? I don't see any strata / substrate options in project settings

[@Junglejuz]

Colour tint works well but what about lumen reflections? I get no reflections at all with your set up. I had to change the Lighting Mode to "Surface TranslucencyVolume" for reflections to appear.

[@sujanpoultopno1397]

can u describe about all methods on using metal textures using substrate material system??

[@cristiancamacho5506]

very good video, a question where I can get that 3D model to test my materials, I can't find it inside the engine, in these latest versions of the engine it seems that it no longer comes

[@EpsilonSJM]

Hi!! First of all thank you and im new in Unreal, how can i get that material ball, the one where you put the glass material??

[@messsurfer6796]

After enabling STRATA options my project crushes on every launch. It would be nice to suggest to create back up in case like this.

[@SignatureAesthetic]

It seems to be the same with mine, did you find a way to fix this ?

[@DennisPiké-k1t]

Same here.. Please help. How to fix the project?

[@KikinProductions]

Is there a way to have a clear decal on top of the glass? Because when I try do insert a decal, it always goes under it.

[@hoomibz6219]

Thanks a lot

[@pinkpocketTV]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support!

[@pg_carvallo]

what is the parameter that you adjust to make it blurry? (i cant see behind the PIP video) thanks for the tutorial!

[@pinkpocketTV]

It’s the roughness.

[@ArpitGolani]

Bro can you please make a video on how to make a advance/realstic car paint substate material.

[@pinkpocketTV]

Yup!

[@Ghaffar75001]

Thanks for the awesome video! please create a video on diamond material and juice class if possible. Thanks

[@Andy_Shust]

Doesn't work for me in 5.3.1 =( When I create a material, I get a simpler node without SSS and many other options. However I can add the Substrate Slab BSDF node, it doesn't work correctly... I only get weird refraction and no translucency.

[@kingasz100]

Same

[@kikujiro499]

same

[@mae2309]

so the strata will be unreals material default shader? looks good... thank Pink!! always the best

[@pinkpocketTV]

Thanks 😊

[@denizerdem6452]

Nice job. A half translucent curtain material tutorial would be nice. it was impossible to make it with previous version of material settings. (Using lumen)

[@pinkpocketTV]

Great suggestion!

[@TheUkuleleXD]

Amazing tutorial, would you mind to create another material for velvet fabric and metal?

[@pinkpocketTV]

Yup. More videos on substrate are coming out!

[@mandrid]

Hmmm. Very cool. What about something like dirty glass? Can you apply a texture to this somehow?

[@pinkpocketTV]

Yup, you can apply a roughness map and use it for fingerprints and stuff.

[@nelsonpainco1368]

this seems really really good!! I was trying this but instead of getting that "substrate slab bsdf" when i create a new material, i get a "substrate ue4 default shading"... why is that? my unreal software is updated to latest version. Could it be from my hardware? (I have a 1080ti gpu updated to latest game drivers)

[@artgirlpaint4298]

I'm not sure why that happens but just look up the substrate slab node and replace the ue4 node with it. Worked for me.

[@nelsonpainco1368]

@@artgirlpaint4298 yea, i found it, the thing is that it won't showed up as default as in the video as i was a bit lost

[@SuperMontana2008]

Can you do a gem stones tut with the new system?

[@DailyPaily]

Works fine in 5.4 i like more this glass.

[@pinkpocketTV]

Yeah, substrate glass is awesome.

[@mehface]

But. Do multiple glass materials render in the right order? The translucency rendering ordering if terrible by default.

[@lummi_vfx]

Thanks for another great tutorial! Do you know if it's possible to use tessellation with substrate materials yet ?

[@AgWhatsUp]

How do you get the material to show reflections on it's surface?

[@unrealdevop]

Great Video, but why is it that when I place two objects in the scene and place this material on both and turn the roughness up the other object comes through the glass material without that frosted effect? Is that some kind of bug or something? Everything looks great until you see the other Strata Glass object through another Strata Glass object.

[@nikolaskerameus]

great video, but now i cant use megascans and any material from the bridge librabry

[@peterallely5417]

How do you enable the light passing though coloured glass to cast the colour?

[@JMoCa]

I’m trying to make a thin 10 micron glass beads thin layer material with index of refraction of 2.1 that has a retro -reflective effect. Is this possible?

[@chrischandras3390]

how do you figure this stuff out on your own? Do you just plug in nodes and experiment? I'm wondering if I'll ever get to a point where I can think up things like this without having to rely on tutorials...

[@davidlombardi9050]

I appreciate the video, but I'm NOT getting the same result. I'm not seeing any specular on the material at all. Is there another setting?

[@SK_Varios]

Is it working with Lumen scenes or with baked?

[@NiteshKumar-cs4wo]

Can you make detail tutorial about Mesh blending RVT

[@muhammedashiq3623]

How did you change the colour of the glass?

[@tommyg83333333]

Just FYI for UE 5.4, in project settings, the substrate options wont appear if you type "strata" in search anymore. You'll need to type "substrate" to find these option tickboxes.

[@charleslamb4568]

I cant seem to get any coloured glass using this with path tracer?

[@amirhoseini3563]

how can i get back to old material interface? If i uncheck substrate it will require to compile agian

[@ElCanaldeBeck]

How can I add reflection to this glass material? 🤔

Fluted glass please! Yeah man more materials please! Cool to explore what’s possible. Doesn’t have to be out there examples, just better versions of common materials b

If diffuse Color is set to 0, TransmittanceColor (GlassColor) cannot be assigned a color. But if the diffuse Color is 1, the color of TransmittanceColor (GlassColor) is a complementary color。
