Various Unreal Materials

A fairly lightweight magic orb material which utilizes the lowest cost noise node.

A two-sided shield material which demonstrates some concepts related to panners, refraction and opacity in UE4.

This effect is created by moving two panners across one another with a clouds texture and lerping it together with the UVs.

An axis-aligned fresnel combined with a depth fade and a very tiny noise map to create a god ray card.

This is an example of how to utilize up-vectors and would be scripted to create procedural environments.

This is a window material that does not use an interior billboard and creates pseudo-refraction by LERPing the UVs with the normal map.

With all textures channel packed into 3 instead of 6 texture samples (along with no transparency / overdraw) you end up with a material that reduces vertex complexity by 90% and pixel shader complexity by 20% on a single draw call.

A black hole material that uses a LERP that can be rotated around its axis instead of blending into a straight line.
