Create a Glossy Plastic Material in UE5: Unreal Engine 5 for Beginners #28
Step up your material creation skills! In Part 28 of the Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Series, we create a high-quality Glossy White Plastic material for our robot character.
While the previous lesson was about absorbing light, this lesson is all about reflecting it. You will learn how to use Constant Nodes to gain precise control over your material parameters. By adjusting the Roughness value, we’ll move from a matte finish to a sleek, polished plastic look. This is a fundamental skill for creating everything from consumer electronics to polished marble and automotive paint!
