Visit the Unreal Technology site. Looking for jobs and company info? Questions about support via UDN? Overview The Material System in Unreal Engine 3 is very flexible. It is assumed that you already have a good grasp of how to import textures, create materials, work with the Material Editor, etc. Concepts and Techniques In this section, several concepts and techniques that are commonly used when creating materials in Unreal Engine 3 are explained.
Specularity Specularity is the highlight created on a surface as a result of the light reflecting off it. The Specular input channel on the material node is used to control the color and brightness of the specular highlight, while the SpecularPower input channel controls the falloff or tightness of the highlight.

Last tested against UDK Apr, 2011PC compatible Overview To give more realism to your materials, sometimes a strong or subtle reflection is required. Render targets Render targets are viewports that are rendered off screen. Creating a render target Creating a render target is as simple as right clicking in the context browser. Entering a package name, an optional group and a name.

Visit the Unreal Technology site. Looking for jobs and company info? Questions about support via UDN? Overview This tutorial gives a short visual guide to creating the common basic material types. For those who are familiar with level design for Unreal Engine 2.5 and Unreal Tournament 2004, the names given to many of these basic materials in this tutorial will be familiar to you, as they provide similar functionality to their UE2.5 material counterpart. These basic materials can often be used in combination with each other to produce a more complex material shader. Detail Texture The UE3 Material system does not have a Detail Texture property like UE2.5, but it is very easy to create the similar functionality.
Detail textures that are similar to the UT2004 detail textures work very good. After importing the Detail texture, set its properties for UnpackMax to between 2.0 and 3.0. 2.1 detail normal maps - lessons.darren.mckinsey. UDK materials provide an excellent tools set for creating realistic materials, and one of the powerful features is detail normal maps.
This tutorial shows how to scale bump maps, add detail normal maps, and also scale their effects. Scaling Bump Maps Continuing from the material network in the prior lesson, realistic material networks, I've gone back to the texture and done some work fix the tiling issues and to create a better bump map. We added the bump map texture to our material in the last lesson. Now that I have a more accurate bump map I've also added it to the diffuse channel. Reference: Image 1 Notice that the bump map is so defined that it is producing stretched pixels on the corners of the bricks. Reference: Image 2 Detail Normal Maps Now that the material is looking close to what I want, I'm going to use UDK's detail normal maps to bring out some added detail to the bricks. By typing in detail into the content browser you'll find several choices already in UDK's content tree.
