Basics of PBR - UE4 Materials 101 - Episode 2
This videos covers the fundamental principles of physically-based rendering - including lighting and material properties. We go over the types of lighting calculations that the Unreal Engine performs as well as explaining all of the basic inputs to the root node of an Unreal material. These include Base Color, Normal, Specular, Metallic, and Roughness. For each of these, we discuss their requirements and contributions to the appearance of the material. If you're learning to create materials in Unreal Engine, this is a great place to start!
