Just found this cool and free hair materials by MiDaEm 😀 This is the first version of the materials and future features are on the horizon 🙂
You can download the base textures here and follow a mini tutorial about how to setup ‘LightVector’ with Material Parameter Collection “MPC_SunDirection” here.
Just found this beautiful and free Mushroom environment by Alex Gomersall 😀 It’s a full pack (860 MB) that include a map and all assets. It can be download from here or from my GoogleDrive account 🙂
Foliage Starter Kit is a package especially designed for the UE4. It will give you the ability to create awesome forest / parks / garden scenes with a great variation due to the different material parameters in the Material Instances. That means that you can change the summer trees to winter or autumn trees with just changing a parameter in the Material Instance. Moreover you can modify the wind effects like the strength / variation and also the sway amount of the trees. You are also able to add snow and a variation color which will change with the mesh position. Another feature is that the ground plants are interactive. So they will move / bend when the player walks over them. All meshes are pretty low poly so that you can use them in a very large scale. Entire landscapes can be filled with them without great performance losses.
This pack has been created as a small free version of the full pack that will be on the UE4 marketplace in a few days 🙂 The purchasable pack will have 450 meshes and much more! The promotion video is damn nice I must say! Here is the download link.
This free package will work identical to the big package and contains:
– 1 simplified master material (purchasable pack offers more features).
– 2 new materials. (4096 res, Albedo, Roughness, Normal).
