Free Unreal Engine 5.7 Project: Essential Master Materials and Material Functions (motionforge)

Overview

Chris (motionforge) shares Unreal Engine Essential Materials UE5, a project with a selection of materials and material functions that can be used for most surfaces as base templates rather than specific material types. The list runs from simple, standard, bump and parallax occlusion materials through opacity, cloth, emissive, dissolve, metallic and several glass variants to water, fog, carbon fibre, clear coat, vertex-painted puddles, masked foliage, five-layer and non-tiling landscape materials, light functions, a sky material, world-aligned materials and RVT.

Demo maps include a moon landscape and a wheat field animated with a noise texture for wind, and the bundled textures come from Creative Commons sources such as Poly Haven. The project targets engine version 5.7 and is a free AGPL-3.0 download from GitHub.
