Intro to Materials: Overview | 01 | v4.0 Tutorial Series | Unreal Engine

[@sam_making_games]

To all the new comers: Yes this series is still applicable as of UE 4.24.

[@nitecro]

Thank you, I had a lil laughing fit seeing this is from 2014 and I am running out of tutorials :')

[@petersonw1]

thanks

[@sifatniloy3783]

thanks

[@kosalakr2500]

thanks!

[@alterix5711]

What about ue5?

[@Almajtek]

So far this is the best explanation on how physical based materials works!

[@CashFuelzCFXstudio]

This INSTRUCTOR "ZAC PARRISH" is something special! When someone can explain and you immediately get it.... GENERALLY they are EXTREMELY intelligent yet considerate of others. He makes the subscription worth it, because who would use it if the couldn't understand it...

[@sam_making_games]

This is easier to understand even for a programmer who's never touched materials at all. I love this guy.

[@OlemVolle]

Wait a second! Is that Zak Parrish? The guy who taught me 3Ds max a decade ago on 3Dbuzz!? Man, I've missed that voice! what a nice surprise

[@DDs6005]

Taught me UDK

[@Barcode6321]

Just discovered this playlist content. Excellent

[@szymonsteczek2180]

Is it applicable for UE version 4.27 and 5.0?

[@CashFuelzCFXstudio]

While watching it's even more helpful to open Unreal and LOAD "CONTENT EXAMPLES/ File/Open Level/Material_Nodes... This will give you physical and visual aid for better retention

[@chluaid]

1:50 gah! Surely he's not drawing a -- oh wait, ok it's paint. Phew!

[@evander8035]

Exactly what i was thinking ^

[@saikiran-vw8ux]

:-D

[@NintendoFan021]

Lmaoo!

[@ojaslandge515]

EXACTLY!

[@theshrk8977]

dirty minds think alike

[@DDs6005]

I was so disappointed when I couldn't find tutorials from Zack for UE4 as there were for UDK when he was a part of 3d Buzz. Sooo relieved to find this. This seriously needs more views

[@adriandinca5682]

Great video! One of the clearest explanations I've ever listened to. Great job man! :D

[@rodericklina]

"Literally" a very good explanation for physical based materials...

[@kalarlapastos4824]

oh god thank you for giving us Zak Parrish again !!!

[@KillerNinja0741]

this explanation really helped me understand materials thank you soo much!

[@bnjmo]

Coming from the Particle System tutorial, I really was hoping to find Zack doing this one too. I never got so happy over a tutorial video on youtube the way I was when I heard his voice xD

[@shady0808]

Awesome stuff! Going to watch all these videos, can't wait to get my hands on UE4!

[@JackStreicher]

Jonathan Williamson is that you? :D *instant like* practically the 3D-demigod who taught me Blender :D

[@NintendoFan021]

Nice! I think the basic concepts are 1.0 opaque to me now

[@RaPtOr9600]

some drastically stuff was made in material editor so far i like it

[@justnotg00d]

Paint CAN add a small amount of texture. Sand in paint for example and other materials to change the look, but yes, it generally only changes the color and Gloss/Matte. . . . VERY useful tutorial on the background understanding that is needed. I am still used to the older ways of materials, so it is very difficult to change over. Thank you.

[@jaimegarciagarcia3782]

This guy is amazing! What an awesome teacher :)

[@Nj86743]

very nice explanation which anyone can understand easily.

[@MrFennmeista]

May I suggest, a completely physically-based 'materials' library, for physically based Modeling and Sound Synthesis. We already (almost) have completly physically-based rendering, and physics. How about audio?.

[@hanswesker8455]

+Johannes Romanides That'd be awesome.

[@MiloudEloumri]

Very helpful. Wondering what is the name of video capture and chalkboard software you are using? Thank you.

[@MetroidPrime388]

+Miloud Eloumri it is photoshop with a grid background

[@MiloudEloumri]

+Matt Rodriguez Thank you.

[@Ascend777]

I learn more about physic from you than my college physic professor.

[@weisshaarige]

Thank you so much for material!

[@cautiousaphid4072]

I like this guy hes good

[@BARULICK]

Vid from 2014 is it still actuale?

[@wondertv1356]

Super cool tutorial~ Really love it!!!!

[@The9PointStar]

Damn this is a good explanation dude! thank you

[@TeamProSkill]

Really nicely explained, I want UE4 so badly! btw. whats the program you use to write on? :D

[@Dreamhaxor]

i'd say he is using Photoshop.

[@TeamProSkill]

Deadstalker1996 Thanks :)

[@andrewmajewski1756]

I feel kind of lost with some of these, but did Epic take a lot of the starter content out, because I don't have the Unreal shader ball / materials / textures he references?

[@GuitarSlinger2112]

What are the workarounds for LightVector and DestColor being missing in UE4?

[@ChristopherJones16]

ok so Normals are smoothness of a material or as you said "lumps and bumps" of a material?

[@MrFennmeista]

Think of a 'materials' library, that is not only physically-based rendered (ie 'glass' includes all of the 'properties' of glass), but includes the physics and chemistry of 'said' substance. Glass shines, cracks and fractures, will 'melt' at around 2200^C, and depending on the velicity and angle it hits, and depending on the material of the object it hits... can make a 'shattering' like noise (as it physically 'fractures). Physically based Rendering, Animation and Sound, should be a unified 'thing'. Think of it as a 'unified theory' basis for true Modeling. :).

[@romantroshkin3142]

I loved you even before I saw you. Admiring

[@tobascospam]

Anyone know the name of the blackboard program being used in this series?

[@demonitgames]

Yeah i have problem how to resize the material on the model ?

[@Adam_Lilith]

잘 들었습니다.

[@frezer748]

Does anyone know what the name of the program is where he draws all these concept things on?

[@Horsoniq]

Guess you could do that in pretty much anything, photoshop is possibly what hes using, just with a pen.

[@Dreamhaxor]

judging by that panel where he chooses the brush type, i'd say he is using Photoshop, but is either using a touch pad, or is VERY good with a mouse.

[@Fartuess]

Does UE4 uses Strauss lighting model or something different?

[@GuitarSlinger2112]

[@erhanozbay1507]

unreal engine mimari iç mekan ders veriyormusunuz?

[@Yourname942]

can you define the way(directions) the light bounces off the surface (for roughness) or is it predefined? [or is this pointless?]

[@ВасилийПупкин-и7д7д]

Actually yes, you can. Direction of the light reflection depends on the surface normals so you can use a normals map for this. It's kinda explained in the next video, although if you are not very familiar with normals maps you will probably have to google it a bit.

[@MicInc87]

I always wonder why all those software companies cant work out ONE logic unified naming scheme...

[@antoniobradiano]

I am a home remodel by trade. over 36 yrs. Meaning My dad had me preping the surface alot. To finish a house is more prep than acutal aplication of finish paint. If you used a red. We would apply grey to allow red to be its own. this is apon flat drywall. Even yellow. In real world color you use grey as primar to make red or yellow stand out as a real painter

[@blehblehbleh735]

@ 1min (what is a material) his description = images, jpeg ..etc.. when he asked (what is a material) the first thing i thought was "stuff my clothes are made out of" x_x;

[@SkotMiler]

what program he draws?

[@nullpointer5109]

Skot Miler Definitely Photoshop, look at the brushes panel appears at 8:19

[@gmoney771]

Photoshop apparently...

[@Yorgarazgreece]

at 1:00 the first explanation works better for me lol

[@necrokamios]

I think my heart skipped a beat hearing Zac Parrish's voice again after hearing the guy from previous video....

[@tennicktenstyl]

We need a fast way of creating anisotropic metals, now it's pain in the ass to get them.

[@ja7857]

Diffusivity and Specularity are much more physical terms (e.g. used in optical physics) than "Roughness", which is not even well defined. :(

[@allouette401]

Chrystal clear

[@edwardhell2085]

А что если я русский, и нихуя не понимаю, но мне интересно?)

[@IvanSoregashi]

Тогда, сперва тебе надо пройти путь от "русского который нихуя не понимает", к "русскому который понимает достаточно".

[@edwardhell2085]

Кто бы это мог быть?)

[@IvanSoregashi]

Александр Широков ?? Очевидно - улучшенный ты.

[@郑富城-e1j]

[@husseinmassarra2769]

Why material in unreal engine more complicated then the material in vray and corona..and its not give the same realistic!!!!???

[@k.t8174]

anyone 2024?

[@pe4o243]

UE3 materials were way more better...
