Eat 3D - Unreal VFX - Material Transitions

Eat 3D  - 虚幻视觉特效 - 材料转换

在这个演示中将讲解节点的使用。布莱恩Erck讲解如何创建一种纹理变幻成另外一种纹理的方法，他还讲解了如何做一个角色完全溶解掉的效果。

In this demonstration the instructor starts off by explaining the  nodes  that will be used throughout the rest of the DVD. From there he  goes  into depth on how to create a material that can transition from  one set  of textures and parameters, into another. He also gets into how  to  make a character completely dissolve away.

Once the  materials are setup, the instructor goes into how to control  them in  Cascade, Kismet, and Matinee. While inside Matinee, you learn  how to  time the dissolve to match the animation, and also how to swap  entire  materials and allow the character to dissolve after he has  transformed  from stone to real life.
