تفاصيل الدورة
Volume 1
In this video we'll take an introductory look at UDK's material editor. Once we've covered the basics of importing textures and creating our own materials we'll dive into creating some of the more common types of materials you'll encounter in today's games. We'll be creating metal surfaces with reflection, glass, blended materials such as rock and moss, a holographic animated material, and lastly realistic water, complete with animation, reflections and depth based effects.
Volume 2
Continuing where we left off on Materials Volume 1, Bill Kladis takes us through additional materials inside of UDK! We'll start with understanding and creating a "parent" material as we cover Material Instancing, dive into animated Flipbooks, discuss Opacity and how it works, explore how to apply a "real" video or movie to your assets, and then dive into an advanced material creating a customized and complex animated sequence!
Volume 3
Continuing from Materials Volume 2, Bill Kladis takes us through even more advanced materials inside of UDK! In this course we tackle the Elements! We cover "Depth Bias Alpha" on water, showing how to cause the normals to bend around an object, we show how to make a convincing Lava material flow down a stream and move along a path with awesome distortion effects, then move on to the motherload - procedural ice and snow on an object that points "up" in the direction of the object!
