How to create a metallic surface with fingerprints?

Hello,

I don’t know where to look for this. I have been looking through videos, forums, and Google, but I couldn’t find anything. Please, give me suggestions on what to look for or how to approach this question.

I want to create an effect like the fingerprints on the metallic surface of the Unreal Engine 5 logo video.

I don’t know much, so I would appreciate it if you could tell me what to look for. Is it just materials and making the surface metallic? Is it a more complex process?

Thank you!

You just need to make the roughness 0 every except where the fingerprint mask it white, then you make it 1.

You can get a fingerprint or grime mask from MS
