You’ve chosen the day perfectly – it’s cool enough to get those vital extra few tenths of a bhp, and the road you’re on has a tail wind so it’s looking good.Ĭhin on the tank so you can hardly see down the road, knees pulled in so hard they’re denting the tank (which is virtually empty to lighten the load) and left arm down behind you to improve aerodynamics, you’re spinning it hard to get the most from each gear.ĥ0, 60, 70 come up and go by quickly. Because no amount of teenage bullshit that we’d done it could actually cover the knowledge deep inside that we hadn’t.īut with all the work done, there you are feeling like a GP god. Not poor acting – the need for speed.Īll this mechanical butchery was in a single cause – the quest for 100mph. Whether it was simply disconnecting that wire from the CDI box of a Suzuki RG125 or more radically getting a big bore and a DEP exhaust system for almost any two stroke ever created, we all suffered the same affliction as Tom Cruise in Top Gun. This isn’t pollution, it’s a joy.īut an engine is only good if it’ll punt you along at a fair rate of knots, which is why few of us could leave our motors alone at that stage in our biking careers. Little 125cc two-stroke engines blowing clouds of delicious-smelling blue smoke into the atmosphere. We all know the sound from our learner days. ![]() Below are Specular values based off of measured IOR.Ring ting, ting. ![]() We have not found this to be necessary for 99% of Materials. To be clear this is BaseColor = Cavity*OldBaseColor, Specular = Cavity*0.5.įor advanced use, this can be used to control the index of refraction (IOR). This is multiplied by the final BaseColor before output and multiplied with 0.5 (Specular default) as the Specular output. Which is typically an AO map with very short trace distance. To capture this shadowing, we generate a cavity map, Small scale geometry, especially details only present in the high poly and baked into the normal map, will not be picked up by the renderer's real-time shadows. These are sometimes referred to as cavities. What you really want to do for veryĬommonly, if we modify Specular, we do so to add micro occlusion or small scale shadowing, say from cracks represented in the normal map. Have specular, see this post for examples. These are:įor very diffuse Materials, you may be inclined to set this to zero. In terms of the "physically based" aspect of our Materials system, there are really only 4 different properties with which you need to be familiar. Technical look at UE4's physically based Material and shading model, please refer to my SIGGRAPH presentation. įor these reasons and more, Unreal Engine 4 has adopted a new physically based Material and shading model. Rendering as evident in the latest films from Pixar and Disney. These benefits are applicable even for non-photorealistic Less complex and interdependent, resulting in a more intuitive interface. Physicallyīased Materials will work equally well in all lighting environments. The end result is more accurate and typically more natural looking. Physically based shading means we approximate what light actually does as opposed to approximating what we For a complete rundown of the available inputs, check out Material Inputs. That are involved with our physically based approach. We will only be focusing on those aspects of Materials Our goal here is to give you just the "plain-language essentials" on how to make standard Materials using this system, as it can beĬonfusing even for those with experience in previous Unreal Engine iterations. You may prefer to start with the Essential Material Concepts page. If you are completely new to Materials in Unreal, ![]() It assumes that you areĪt least somewhat familiar with Material creation in the Unreal Engine, at least with Unreal Engine 3 or later. This document is designed to help those who need to quickly get up to speed in Unreal Engine 4's physically based Materials system.
