The Ultimate BEGINNERS GUIDE to Materials in Unity

[@TheRealTimeEssentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about materials in Unity in the comments below! :)

[@chipmunkninjah]

I just want to thank you for making this, and say that your videos have the PERFECT tempo for me. Usually I have to pause and rewind tutorials in order to be able to follow along, but with your video it just clicked immediately.

[@striverfor7628]

How do you apply a material to multiple objects?

[@sk-et3wd]

thanks so much for your tutorials. may i ask how to scale a brick texture smaller? currently the brick texture is about 1m by 2 m on the wall, but i need it 0.2/0.06m .. much smaller. thanks :)

[@thatzanzystig]

BIG QUESTION: how do you stop the textures from stretching with the cubes when applied, I only want the texture to go by the tiling rules and to not follow the game object size.

[@Njb329]

It won’t let me put the files into unity

[@troyna77]

ive read several books about materials and textures. it never clicked. I watched your video and it all just made sense. thanks.

[@federicovolpi3195]

this was one of my first tutorial that I've watched to start learning Unity, I was scared as I didn't know nothing, surprisingly everything was clear after trying couple of times, with the time I realized that not all the tutorial about the topic are well explained so thank you a lot for this

[@mnmlst1]

I learned sketchup from your videos, and now I'm into game development and I had no idea you also do videos about Unity, this is so great!

[@FrostshadowStudios0310]

I just want to take a bit of time to share my understanding of metallic and roughness texture maps: Metallic and roughness textures define white as being a value of 1, whereas black is defined as 0. I'm constantly looking for ways to leverage this to get the desired look for, say, armor plating or different textiles or what-have-you. Overall, metallic and roughness are, from my experience, designed to work as a unit.

[@Goba_s]

When I try to drag it out it just doesn’t drag at all can you please help, this really frustrates me because I can’t actually make 3d games without this

[@sircaptainjiffy1152]

When i do this exactly how you do, it tells me that my texture is not readable when i drag and drop. How do i fix this?

[@bronsonmanley9]

This usually happens to me when I bring in a prefab. Make sure that you click on your blue prefab in the project window and extract your materials

[@aliceopex]

the drag and drop isnt avaliable on windows 11 is there another way to get the texture to unity

[@hamran8168]

You will need to open your project file, then open folder Assets and make any type of texture folder and just drag and drop them there

[@aliceopex]

​@@hamran8168 that would require me to drag and drop I cant do that on windows 11

[@hamran8168]

@@aliceopex the drag and drop works in file explorer right? I had win11 for a brief time and that worked fine for me. I upgraded to win10 tho, much better

Thank you for making these video for new people to unity

[@sircaptainjiffy1152]

It tells me that the texture is not readable and i cannot find a fix. Even though i copied his steps to a T

[@fromthedeep2014]

Ok, so any time when I get roughness map do I just have to ignore it and do noting with it, as well as AO maps. Where do they go?

[@TheRealTimeEssentials]

I don't know what this means. Why would you ignore the roughness map?

[@EnvyMy75]

@@TheRealTimeEssentials That was an interesting editorial choice, to import the diffuse/normal/roughness maps then end the video after applying 2/3 of those to the new texture.

[@YamadaIchigo]

hi there. i used color for my material (i just use color not texture), but in .fdx my color is gone. and i dont get something like "texture" folder or anything. i dont get it, can you guys help me? thanks

[@bryceyin672]

Anyone know why my new build material doesn't have the options show like in the video?

[@InfinityTwins]

Is it possible to add a material to one side of an object. For example say I have a ceiling that is a floor for the upstairs of a house. I want the ceiling to have one material and the floor to have another.

[@joseantonioirrelevante1982]

Hello. If you have a cube, is it possible to put a different material or texture on each of its faces? Thanks.

[@MidknightGamingOfficial]

Every time I try to drag the images to the folder it doesn't want to work, what am I doing wrong?

[@SayceBuckleyFreak]

IF you mark seems and stuff in Blender, to make a texture look correct, does unity reflect those seems? or is that reflected in the exported UV maps stuff ?

[@unity4beginners72]

i change a texture at runtime and replay game in editor the applied texture is saved but not in apk or mobile what should i do

[@MN3DAuto]

urgent help needed when i try to change tilling in material section i cant adjust there anything , it looks grey, any fix ?

[@deepuvinil4565]

The texture quality seems very low after build even for 4k texture. What may be the reason? Using urp and building for Android device

[@AlonePirate02]

Great tutorial! But i have a problem with texture sizes. In my project i have a house with different sizes of walls and when i apply the texture size of the image changes. Bigger wall has wider texture. How can i make the same size of texture for all of them?

[@AnthonyChen-v8q]

Why don't my PBR materials have 3D texture? For example, a stone brick material doesn't have rectangles protruding out of the object the material is on

[@fiduciaryxucb445]

whenever I try to download the files, they just downlaod as a jpeg and I cant import them

[@SoftCocoa12]

u can convert them to a png by using file explorer, right click image and click rename then change the 'jpeg' to 'jpg' that should work

how can i create my own materials?

can you do a tutorial about poly havens models

[@dowki7072]

Its a great video, but whenever im trying to drag and drop the textures on the textures folder, it shows a cirlce with a line passing through, ( like this one 🚫). Do you know how can i fix the problem? Thanks!

[@Yuliiiiiiiii]

1. make a folder by right clicking on the bar on the bottom where all your models set. 2. open the folder, right click again press "Import Asset" then you select your texture and import it. 3. now you make a material by right clicking then press "create" click material then you press albedo or which every one of those little boxes then just click one of the textures you want in the floating box!

[@TheRealTimeEssentials]

It won't let you drag texture files into a folder in your asset browser? I've not experienced this before...

[@Slingvr]

This deserves a like it helped me out a lot

thank you so much man i got just what i needed to know out of this

[@stephenkentperez7705]

Very helpful video! thumbs up. My current 3d workflow is I model the asset from sketchup and import them to Unity without texture. but im really having trouble applying textured material on curved surfaces and how to make them seamless.

[@TheRealTimeEssentials]

Yeah...SketchUp's UV mapping on curved surfaces can get a bit wonky. Does the texture look ok in SketchUp before you try to go to Unity?

[@stephenkentperez7705]

@@TheRealTimeEssentials I import the model with only the default template material (untextured) and do all the texturing and tweaking inside unity. And also the scaling of tile textured applied on imported mesh is kind of off (but this is not much of a problem). And thanks, I googled and watched some tutorials on UV mapping on unity and other software and its kind of tedious (very) to do. In sketchup, i just make the material "projected" pick an appropriate angle and call it a day haha.

[@bermarte]

Your different tutorials are really handy! Thank you!

[@Ecliptic-]

my materials just straight up have no color feature besides a shader feature, why ?

[@camtyler227]

Whenever I tried to drag the dirty concrete download into the new “texture” folder it just shows a circle with a like through it saying that I can’t move it there, do you know why?

[@dowki7072]

It has to be a JPG ( or JPEG ) file. You can change it by draggin the image in your desktop, then rename it to (example) : ground.jpg. Make sure that there is only .jpg and not .png.

[@tres-2buniverse729]

Hello, I have used a google image pic as a texture but I wonder if there is a way to make it look more realistic?Does it cause an error if I mixed a google image pic and a normal map from a different material? Thanks btw you have great content

[@ConorW]

Google image pics are not typically great textures because they are normally photos with the lighting baked in. If you use a normal map that doesn't align with the albedo map, it often won't make sense from a material standpoint. I can explain more if you are interested.

[@isitsou]

This video is awesome! Finally I understand what a normal map does. Thank you!

[@髙木ゆき-c9f]

thanks! just the beginner guide I was looking for:D

[@jmplummer68]

This was excellent. Do you have any tutorials on setting the materials during runtime?

[@WalrusesAreTheOne]

I've always had confusion between normal and bump. From how I understand, they're kinda similar. Is normal the way light hits the texture and bump is just texture with no light information?

Thanks. So: Unity's shader = Unreal's material and Unity's Material = Unreal's material instance

[@losmon1999]

thank you for the useful information

[@StudioDevapriya]

Its attractive how calm tNice tutorials guy is

[@SenselessUsername]

Small note around 2:55 when working with current LTS unity (2022): If you follow the tutorial but you've chosen 3D URP Core as project template, it turns all materials pink instead of red (or whatever colour)... PANIC!! You easily solve this by selecting your new material, going Edit > Rendering > Materials > Convert Selected Materials To URP. Of course, in this case that simply resets the Shader from 'Standard' to its default, 'URP' -- so, simply don't pick Standard as shader and you're good.

[@geethanjalir8294]

Excellent video

[@fedo18]

Whenever I change the shader to standard the materials just turn pink...
