[Unreal Engine 4] - Fur Material-Tutorial

Project File : / six-more-project-28703232
Fur material in unreal engine 4.16 using parallax occlusion mapping.I will also show you a trick to create normal map within the engine using normalfrom heightmap node.((I forgot to say that you need to add a constant value of 1 to the normal map intensity of the normalfromheightmap node. Those white artifacts you see are caused by it)).I made the textures using substance designer the fur and the fluid texture.

I forgot to say that you need to add a constant value of 1 to the normal map intensity of the normalfromheightmap node. Those white artifacts you see are caused by it.Thanks

[@RonitManhas]

hii bro , r u Indian???bcoz ur style of speaking seemed like it😂. Btw I'm from India, and thx for fur PNG👍

[@lethiagames9208]

question can you do three textures (2 diffuse and 1 hight map) 1 diffuse for the skin and the other diffuse and height map for the fur

[@lethiagames9208]

for some reason when I convert my height texture to object texture, the texture gets seamless and I dont want that since the original texture has some parts that are completely black/transparent

[@RohanGulig]

can u pls remake this video in unreal engine 5

[@thesujaychand8094]

As a programmer that struggles to understand shaders and Materials. You sir are amazing. Keep up the good work :)

[@UnrealCG]

Thanks man :)

[@perregrinne2500]

If your material always stays behind something it is supposed to be covering or somehow does not look right, disconnect the "Pixel Depth Offset" link from the Parallax Occlusion Mapping node that connects to the material's base node.

[@thefirepenguins74]

you save me, after 1 hr. of creating the material it look horrible, luckily I found your comment

[@PeterKLee]

thank you for making this amazing tutorial! it helped me a ton!

[@Jiggy...]

Stunning tutorial, thank you so much for sharing.

[@SiakaDibba]

This has been EXTREMELY helpful to my project, any idea on how to have the fur on certain parts of the body face a particular direction?

[@michaelknowland2163]

Great tutorial!

[@LuizKozerski]

To add a saturation param: add after lerp: desaturation , in Fraction add a scalarParam and reconnect it in Base Color...

[@UnrealCG]

ok

[@THURGOODAARON]

great tutorial. nice editing and flow. I hope you'll do more since for it's easy to follow you

[@UnrealCG]

Hey Thanks, I have more tutorials coming up.

[@Stigmaster51]

Thanks, it was very useful!

[@Boogyman9475]

Thanks a lot!

[@simplegamer-q7n]

Thank you for awesome tutorials. Can you make dynamic real time hair growth like witcher 3?

[@primitivepatterns]

Hello, the tiling on my rug seems to become very strange if I move the camera to certain angles. Any tips? Thanks

[@sevi95100]

Set reference plane to 0 or use the multiple planes method

[@kuraiwolf4047]

How well would this work on a more complex model like a character? I have been working to make a good fur material for some anthro-style character models and this one looks pretty good.

[@LuizKozerski]

thanks

[@UnrealCG]

Welcome :)

[@elmatematico2311]

bro, very good tutorial, but i have a problem: When conect Pixel Depth ofset to Pixel Depth ofset or conect to uvs I get this error...Error [SM5] Function ParallaxOcclusionMapping: Cannot cast from float3 to float4.

[@UnrealCG]

For the height map channel did you use a four vector or a three vector?

[@elmatematico2311]

three vector.... :v oooh shit thanks, i changed it by a 4 vector and it worked

[@UnrealCG]

Ok

[@FunkyPrince]

What if I want a noise as Heightmap Texture to be attached to the ParallaxOcclusionMapping? I mean, I noise outputs a float, while Heightmap Texture only accepts textures, is there a way to turn noise into a texture maybe?

[@UnrealCG]

Yeah, there is a way to render out noise textures within unreal engine. It is explained in this video from epic : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4uQh2R4qtBpsJo

[@FunkyPrince]

Well that would be lot better if "DrawMaterialToRenderTarget" function would be present into the Material blueprint too, so that materials wouldn't be dependant from blueprints. Plus, if I want to do it to noise before to actually add stuff to that noise in the Material Blueprint, I couldn't do it, I would need to make a material that outputs a simple noise and then another material that takes the rendered texture, that's a mess lol. Thank you anyway :D EDIT: Ok well I managed to make the process lot easier by using only one bp for all the materials which need to be rendered as textures, thanks to a map, but still I will need to create new materials and textures .o. Oh well...

[@Tbjbu2]

Thanks so much! :p

[@UnrealCG]

Welcome :)

[@snake4932]

you need make a complet tutorial next time. you mis scale texture with tiling.

[@tristangybels8040]

Hey man! can you copy the material and paste it into a txt file and put it in the google drive please?

[@UnrealCG]

I don't think I have the project files now as I made this a long time ago. There is a gfur plugin in the marketplace and it is free. It can be used for creating fur.

[@quentinturner3753]

Will this render on mobile platforms??

[@UnrealCG]

I think it could work, but I am not sure.

[@AnudeepNallapareddy]

are you the same guy from CODELIKEME ?

[@shawnlascelles3086]

Great Tutorial!
