Creating Layered/Mix Materials in Unreal Engine 5 (For Products)

tnx for tut <3 you are only one who talks about this. sometines UE overcomplicaited :D

Great tut. My png has a gradient but the gradient is ignored in the final process. When I open the original texture file in UE5 it looks fine but in everyyother material, there's no gradient fade just solid. Any ideas?

The functions do not work if the strata materials is enabled?

strangely just the color is masked.. normal rough spec not, just mixed together..

straight to the point thank you

For product people coming from C4D or Blender this is invaluable advice dude, it's such a learning curve but shit like this gives me hope that realtime rendering really is the way to go. Do you have any glass experience in UE? Thats one of the biggest asks I have issues getting to look better, even in 5.2, and at that in Lumen only I know it's kind of unrealistic sometimes lol.

Cool and thanks for this workflow. I noticed that you have created a mesh-label in front of the bottle . What if had plastic bottle and you wanted the label with the chrome but not using extra mesh (label) more part of the bottle it self. So basicly one mesh then mixinh the plastic with the label/logo? Can you also use more MF then 2...?

Thanks Bro

My biggest problem: Where do I get the Images? Do I need to create them myself in Photoshop or does the company provide them if I ask? Its hard to get this things as a beginner, but I would like to make some cool product-vizualisations and send them to companies.

Thank you for posting this explanation! I knew adding a mixed material in UE5 was possible, so I was digging through the documentation about how to make one properly. However, the docs sometimes skip over really basic but important contextual information. I was stuck on what "material" type I needed to create for this to work.

Nice ! Can you do a wine label ?❤

can you make a desolve/reveal material out of this method? like, it's one material, and then all of a suddent, from the middle radiating out, it changes into a different material?

Well Explained and straight to the point. Great tuto!

How much would it cost me to pay u $$$
to build me a game with Forza Horizon 5 driving physics
but open world California & Hawaii? With cops intense like Need for Speed Most Wanted
& customizations like Need For Speed UnderGround 2?

My boy is BACK
