Unreal Engine 5.2 - Substrate Material Examples

Check out my Multiplayer Survival Game Course:
smartpoly.teachable.com
Hello guys welcome back to another video. In this video we will be checking out the Substrate Material Examples, in the newly updated content examples project (found on the epic games launcher). This includes Substrate Materials such as the Opal material we saw in the Unreal Engine 5.2 GDC demo. There is a lot of info to break down in the content examples, so I recommend checking out the project for yourself.
If you don't know what Substrate is, it's essentially Unreal Engine's new flagship material system. It is set to replace the current system we have. The main difference between Substrate is that you can have layered materials with different shading models, which allow for more realistic results. Results that were previously impossible to create with the legacy material system.

Hi is there any was you can watch some example lessons of the course because i think about buying it but i am not that sure yet cause its realy expensive for me

[@RobTheAlchemist]

Super cool new feature I'm happy to see someone behind the engine keeping the focus on visual enhancements. Can't wait to see future engine updates

[@oohello1234]

I’ve literally just started using this software at the weekend and have been using your tutorials. There’s a hell of a lot to get my head around as an absolute beginner but I appreciate the content you’ve put out, thanks a lot mate 🙏

[@James_McLane]

Thanks for unpacking this! So many interesting applications with substrate 😎

[@smashallpots1428]

both of the water and ice ones at the end are so cool i would love to see you play with that concept

[@peterallely5417]

Yeah that wet sand material on a beach scene would be cool to see implemented, and if the oscillation of the water layer (and it’s wetness) could be driven by the engine’s water system.

[@CosmicComputer]

I would love to see you cover more substrate stuff, it seems really exciting to me.. I'd love to create some kind of translucent slime shader for like and alien slime monster or rpg slime creature in substrate, I think that would be really cool.

[@zeeros1639]

As always, UE, more powerful with each day that passes.

[@phalhappy8612]

Hi can you talk about texture bombing in substrate?

[@TA_core]

thanks!

[@Safawy_700]

9:02 I’m really impressed with this meterial thank you so much for the video❤ A small service if you can…. Translate your videos to Arabic language😊❤

[@SmartPoly]

[@Safawy_700]

@@SmartPoly big love for you I’m literally watching all your videos❤️

[@MrLieka]

Hello !! Where can I get the Opal material please ???? 😍

[@11001200able]

can we use both materials and substrate material in same project ??

[@ruslandad365]

Breathtaking Materials!!!!

[@mpalenque]

so substrate is basically like blender shader editor where you can mix different shaders. kindof?

[@ExacoMvm]

It's like Mix Material or Layered/Blend Material where you can mix different materials, not like shader editor lol, shader editor is the whole window where you put nodes and the nodes themselves.

[@ethanwasme4307]

show the material examples for all of them ;)

[@MrLieka]

Hey where can I access these materials ??? pleaseeee

[@TheDesknight]

Finally

[@jmasked5082]

that opal material is fn dreamy

[@ruslandad365]

Blender Cycles Materials!!! AND Unreal Substrate!!! Top

[@NaveenShriRam]

[@no_damage]

Either doesnt work in 5.3 cuz substrate isn't there.

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

Your survival game reminds me of Minecraft, lol... 😅😅😅

[@aeli_tan_art]

[@jameslove1576]

Stupid question: I can't find this in Epic... how can I get the Substrate Material Example project?

[@jameslove1576]

Nevermind! Found it. Its just a level in the Examples project. Love the video!

[@neoviva]

[@SmartPoly]
