Unreal 5 Materials - Part 1 Environments (Udemy.com)

It was alright, would like to know more about how to create normals etc in photoshop etc before bringing it into Unreal. Some of the landscape materials didn't work because i could only use Unreal 5.3.2

I’ve just completed this Udemy course. It provides all the essential foundational material knowledge you need for UE5, and it includes clear examples of materials and material functions that you can review at your own pace. The course helps you understand the core concepts and how they are used, and from there it’s up to you whether you want to dive deeper into how certain functions work or simply apply the knowledge right away. You can always revisit the examples one by one to build a deeper and clearer understanding without feeling overwhelmed. One small note: as mentioned by other learners who purchased this course, as well as in some of the early videos, there were occasional knocking sounds that felt uncomfortable when using noise-cancelling earphones. Aside from that, the course was very helpful.

I wasn't very familiar with materials, but this course felt very comprehensive in covering the topic. It was an excellent course. There’s just one thing I noticed—in Lesson 95, “Auto Materials,” when I opened the corresponding level, the viewport appeared completely black, and only "WorldDataLayers" was shown in the Outliner. For reference, I was using UE5.3.2. All in all, it was a fantastic course.

Most comprehensive treatment of Unreal materials that I've come across so far. The instructor is experienced and provides really useful tips of when certain nodes can be used to create an effect. I'm already familiar with the math nodes but there were some nuggets in there that I hadn't considered before such as creating step functions with linear gradients and floor/ceil and providing detailed insights into performance and implementation details behind the scenes. Highly recommend!

Giving a great base for learning fundamentals. I am taking down thorough notes on all of these tips that will surely be a great help when starting my own practical projects in the future.

As a complete novice to UE, I am finding this a useful learning experience so far, and am making note of the handy little UE tips and tricks along the way. I do already have some knowledge of node trees and material functions in Blender and 3Ds Max, so my recommendation would probably be best aimed at people in the same boat as me - learning how to navigate the UI & do material related tasks in 'yet another 3D programme'. :) I am finding that each area is clearly explained. If I miss a bit, it's quickly picked up on a short replay. So far, so good!

This course was way above my level of understanding for materials. I probably only understood about 10% of what was talked about. This is all master class level stuff, and even though I didn't understand it all, I could tell the instructor had vast knowledge of materials. I will come back to this course after going through some more beginner focused courses.

Very knowledgeable instructor, course is very in depth and worth the money, nice to have access to the library of example materials for future reference, just wish render targets and strata materials were covered, but perhaps they'll be in an upcoming update.

This course will not teach you some cool special VFX effects, but it is an encyclopedic-style course. Sometimes, certain courses showcase cool special effects as examples, but after you learn them, you may not be able to effectively modify these effects because you do not have a comprehensive understanding of Unreal. I think this course provides a complete foundation, so that you can apply the knowledge you learn to more advanced and cool things in the future. That is unfortunate that most people may overlook and miss out on this course because the course name did not catch your attention. It's really good!

Amazing course! I work a lot in UE but I still found a lot of new information and was amazed at how teacher explain it! Thank you! and I will wait second part
