Unreal Materials - An Introduction

If you have never used a material editor you should be able to follow along and understand. Even if you are experienced using the Unreal 3 material editor, you should pick up useful information throughout the DVD.

Hey I'm interested in purchasing some of these videos to help me learn, but how worth it are they? The price tag implies that they should be the best way to learn this program, but are they? Are there other options? If so what are they? Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the link to that thread too...it's going to come in real handy since I've (also) got a back alley environment that I've been working on for some time. Thx!

Hi JagoX
Yea, its a shame that BLEND_Modulate doesn't work any more but on the DVD there is another way of doing it by setting the blend to translucent which should work fine
Check out this post i made a while back about the very same thing

Also you can use a Decal Material from the editor
Thanks for the input
JagoX
There appears to have been a change in the UDK and the steps given for making the decals don't apply anymore. If you follow the steps (or open the project files) as instructed you get a "Dynamically lit transparency is not supports for BLEND_Modulate materials."
Just an FYI ^__^
