UE4 still does not have any proper way to do tinted glass

@Rawalanche

Did you actually read my post?

Yes, and I quoted it verbatim.

And I don’t doubt that you *meant *something closer to the following

@Rawalanche

I precisely explained what I meant by complete shading model. Complete in terms of being able to cover all !**basic! **materials, not complete in terms of being able to simulate them to a degree offline renderers do.

None of that was actually present in your post at all, which is why I used it as an example of how you could add a bit of clarity to make sure people understand your intentions.

Here you are accusing me of not proof reading my posts and not making any sense while you clearly ignored a response to what you are currently calling out (again). So again, just so that you do not miss it. By a complete shading model I mean ability to at least to some degree create all the common real world materials - NOT ability to simulate them on the highest level possible (which would cover specific BRDFs for things like velvet). Basically something like VrayMTL, CoronaMTL or Blender’s PrincipledBSDF, while they don’t cover all the niche BRDFs/BSDFs, they do cover vast majority of basic real world materials.

Again, this is what you wrote (emphasis mine):

@Rawalanche

What I want is something that IS technically possible, to be a one click solution instead of complex set of steps. So that I, as an artist, can spend my time focusing on more important stuff. This just comes down to me being able to trust Unreal’s shading model to handle all the possible real world materials. Currently it can handle all of them except tinted glass, which means it’s incomplete. All I am requesting is that it’s a complete shading model.

You’re saying that you actually meant something a bit different, which is perfectly fine. As I noted from the beginning, I wasn’t certain what you actually meant.

But I still believe it serves as a good example of why it could be beneficial to spend a bit more time clarifying what you’re asking in the first place, to make sure that what you write actually reflects how you want people to interpret it. If nothing else, it’ll at least lessen the sense that you’re deliberately antagonizing everyone who tries to actually answer your questions. I imagine most people don’t like to take the time to respond to something, only to be insulted for not responding to something else different that wasn’t actually stated or asked.
