Absolutely Amazing

This is the best glass tutorial ever for UE5. Thank you 🫡

Great tutorial! Thank you

AMAZING! Best tutorial !

Absolut amazing tut! Thank you so much

Thanks! it is very useful and everything is as clear as possible!

Thak you very much. It's clearest explanation ever!

This was really helpful. Thanks. Subscribed

wonderful, thank you very much

классный урок, спасибо!

Отличный урок)

Спасибо за урок!

thank you ❤ you are best !!

Nice, very useful

Ah, thank you for clarifying the blend between IORs. I've been trying to make glass work for Lumen and everything was distorted af because I've been using the "normal" path traced glass (doesn't work with Lumen, we know). So thanks for sharing this!

Excellent effect like coming from Unreal 8 (means from the future) !!!

Your video is a great help to me. Thank so much~~🤩🤩🤩

I love this tutorial. So well presented and informative, even though I knew this before it strengthened my undestanding in a couple of key points. Question: Why did you append each channel separately for normal map instead of using RGB output with multiply?

@nikolayshamaev

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! To correctly control the intensity of the normal map, you only need to multiply the red and green channels and leave the blue channel as it was.

I'd suggest that anyone using this change the refraction method to Pixel Normal Offset, this produces a much better refraction result on large flat surfaces. Someone else said that you need to input different values with Pixel Normal Offset, you do not. You should use this exact same setup with the fresnel node and IoR interpolation value, only change the method in the material node to Pixel Normal Offset. Otherwise, you get strange artifacts as you see in the video, with the frame of the glass being visible in the middle of the glass, which makes absolutely no sense. This is what Unreal Engine recommends for large flat surfaces such as glass panes or water. If you have pretty much any other shape, like a glass sculpture or a diamond, then use the "Index of Refraction" refraction method.

Great video, but I need to add my two scents here. Rotating normal map is not the same as rotating any other texture. When you rotate it, it also rotates the lighting information (pixel colors) which produces wrong result. Place a spotlight, make the material opaque and see what I mean. If you rotate the texture 180 degrees, it will look as if light comes from the opposite side, not from the side it actually comes from. After rotating the normal map, you have to rotate actual normals back by the same angle.

Phenomenal tutorial! Does it work in Path Tracing too?

@nikolayshamaev

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes, this material also works with Path Tracing. You can set the lighting mode under Translucency section to "Surface translucent volume" to get the best result.

How would you add in colour changes from refraction / caustic reflections. Something that makes the light less uniform.

I'm trying to create a clear glass material for a watch but the clock face gets distorted underneath the glass when moving the camera. How do I the opposite of this video?

Hi Nikolay thanks for the tutorial and the maps. I am using unreal 4.24 which doesn't have lumin, will this work ?

Yes, it also works with Unreal engine 4. What's even more interesting, this method was used in Mirror's Edge in 2008. This game used modified Unreal Engine 3.

hi，I really appreciate your tutorial,but why my material reflection node is not available?

I have refraction disabled, by default, this is supposedly outdated, but it can be enabled. and when I turn on the refraction does not work correctly, what should I do ? I use engine version 5.2

@nikolayshamaev

Жыл бұрын

Hi! Yes, it's disabled by default in 5.2. You can enable it in the refraction section of the main material node. Select "Index of refraction" or "Pixel normal offset" depending on your needs and it should work fine. Other than that, nothing has changed since the 5.2 release. Also, make sure you're using at least "Surface translucency volume" or "Surface forward shading" lighting mode.

Hi Thank you for your tutorial! can I use those 3 normals you gave link of dropbox for my game ? meaning I intend to put it in my game and sell game...

Hello! Thank you! I've included a text document in the DropBox link with a short description of how to use these textures because a lot of people have asked for it. In short - you can use these three normal maps in your game!

@@nikolayshamaev Thank you so much

you forgot to mention Pixel normal offset. In this case, it is wrong to use index of refraction. It causes strong artifacts and distortions

The effects shown in portal 2 and mirror's edge were likely highly optimised considering the hardware they could run on. Is the shader code used here as efficient? I do not want to use ray tracing

@nikolayshamaev

9 ай бұрын

Hi! This effect is used in Mirror's Edge made using Unreal Engine 3, so it's pretty old technology. You don't need ray tracing to create this effect and you don't need an RTX graphics card. It works in Unreal Engine 4 as well as inside Unreal Engine 5. However, it requests at least "Surface translucency volume to be enabled. So, you have to use this material wisely. There're not much places in Mirror's Edge with this type of windows for instance.

Feel free to ask any questions about this glass material. I hope this video will help you create the best glass for your Unreal Engine projects. If you have suggestions for similar materials in UE, please let me know as well.

@Матвей Пашков it can be used on thick or thin geometry. You can see it at 11:04 in the video. It should also work with RTX reflection in post process, as it's just simple glass material.

Hi! When I connect the CustomRotator node on the UVs of the NormalMap node, the texture just desappear, and the normal map turns into a solid blue texture. Why id this happening? I can't get the texture on my glas :( Can somebody help me, please?

@nikolayshamaev

Hi! Try the following: 1. Make sure your UVs are correct and not distorted 2. Check “Texture Coordinate” node. UTiling and VTiling values in this node should be set to 1. 3. Check “Tiling” node and make sure it’s not at 0 4. Try to use the value of 0,5 in the “Rotation Center” input. 5. Check the Rotation Angle (by default 0) and Divide node (by default 360 in the tutorial). It should work fine!

Check out 11:26. By the way it is common in the game industry to name almost every patterned glass as "Frosted glass" so it is easier for naming conventions.
