Is there some way to make shit not look plasticy in this engine?

Avoid using too much specular.

it's a trick question. You can't make things not look like plastic because it's unreal

Tards go overboard on the specular and metallic shit because they think more effects and reflections = looks better

yes

>>387092228
No, I just told you. People usually attach their specular maps to materials and don't modify it. Work to get a balance, its a lot of work.

This. If you know what you're doing, it's absolutely possible. I think the problem for some is that material values are named differently than in other engines, including previous versions of Unreal. So, at least in my experience, they tended to not do exactly what I expected, until I did some reading and trial-and-error.

Shit will still look like plastic in UE4 even with no specular maps.


Here's an example of me just doing a basic comparison of how UE4 renders metal vs Unity. This is just basic Model + normal map with the same PBR settings. It's pretty easy to see that UE4's rendition of metal looks vastly inferior to Unity's.

That's the wrong logo, anon. Unity's logo doesn't look like that.

Edit the materials. Adjust the roughness, metallic, etc.

Something about the chest part on the top model looks wrong, like it's inside out.
