Hey guys,
Uhm I’ve been facing a bit of a problem learning how to make materials in UE4 so can someone show me where to get started … don’t tell me about the documentation… too much words 
Another question…
Where can I find a foliage generator for maya? if not then where can I find good foliage tutorials in maya
Thanks
The best way is to start with the documentation
https://docs.unrealengine/latest/INT/Engine/Rendering/Materials/ExpressionReference/index.html
Material Inputs:
https://docs.unrealengine/latest/INT/Engine/Rendering/Materials/MaterialInputs/index.html v=SRTI0dCm0Qo
But you could also study the materials from epic games + watch some material tutorials on youtube
There are many tutorials about that on youtube:
e.g

Materials can get really complex, There’s a great intro post here - https://www.unrealengine/blog/introduction-to-materials that outlines how a lot of the inputs work, and how things get to be set up. Check it out and let me know what you think!
