CG Cookie – Fundamentals of Materials and Textures
Title: CG Cookie – Fundamentals of Materials and Textures
In this course we?ll focus on bringing color into your game. Unity 5 has introduced support for ?Physically Based Shading? (PBS) materials which means we can now import textures made within a Physically Based Rendering (PBR) workflow. I?ll show you the basics of common texture maps you?ll use such as Albedo, Normal and Emission maps. I?ll be utilizing some textures from Game Textures which include PBR texture maps. Due to the variety of material types available within Unity I?ll focus on the main ?standard shader? which has been condensed to support multiple texture maps with one material.
Some of the topics we?ll take a look at include:
– Differences between metallic and specular workflows
– Importing texture maps
– Secondary maps
– Creating depth with height and normal maps
– Rendering modes for glass and transparent materials
– Render textures for cameras
By the end of this course you should feel comfortable importing and using textures and materials in a physically based environment. The concepts applied within this course can be easily used with any other materials Unity has available.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
