Create Your First Material in UE5: Black Rubber: Unreal Engine 5 for Beginners #27
Get ready to create your very own shaders! In Part 27 of the Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Series, we start our hands-on material creation by building a Black Rubber material from scratch.
This lesson focuses on the two most important inputs in the Material Editor: Base Color and Roughness. You will learn how to organize your project with a dedicated Materials folder, how to create a new Material Asset, and how to use Constant nodes to define how "dark" or "shiny" a surface appears. We’ll be applying this specifically to our robot character to give it a realistic, non-reflective finish!
