I recently made a master material in Unreal, I want to use it as a portfolio piece but I don’t know of any websites for this type of stuff. Anyone have any suggestions.
Hey there @254_715! Welcome to the community! Since material work is both a technical skill and an artistic one, it’s hard to just recommend one way to show off your talents. With master materials, like most technical art tools, you would want to display some beauty shots of what can be produced with it, and a tech breakdown of how it works.
Personally, I recommend an art station post with a blog to run through the actual tech behind it. An example with mostly beauty shots is here.
I would lead with the beauty shots. Maybe 3 or 4 renders of what the MM can produce if used effectively. Possibly a video breaking down some of the options. Then a breakdown of the techniques used, you could reference images of the material or snippets using a tool like BlueprintUE to display the nodes themselves in directly. Finally, if the material is freely accessible I would also have a demonstration of how to hook it up, while not needed for just a portfolio piece, it does show off your community skills.
