Introduction
Look at our player, who is now glowing golden yellow. In this video, you will learn how to make it happen with just a few clicks in Unreal Engine. Hello, welcome to Cerdas Inovasi Digital. In this tutorial, we will change the player's color in Unreal Engine to a glowing golden yellow, without any coding at all. Let's get started.
Press Play: the Third Person player is still gray
This is the built-in third person project in Unreal Engine. We press the play button to see the player. Notice, the character is still plain gray.
Stop Play, open Content » Characters » Manneguins
We stop the game by pressing the stop button. Now, in the content browser, we go into the characters folder, then the mannequins folder.
Open the Materials folder then Guinn
Next, open the materials folder, then the queen folder. This third person character is named queen, so its color material is here.
Click twice on MI Guinn 01 (Material Instance)
Double-click on mi underscore queen underscore 01. This is a material instance, the safest way to change the color without damaging the original material.
Parameter Paint Tint: click the color box
In the details panel, search for the parameter paint in. This parameter controls the color of the character's paint. Click on the color box to open the color picker. In the hex sRGB column, we type the golden color code, which is FFC21AT, press enter, then click ok.
Type the hex code FFC21A, Enter, then OK
Look, the character's body changes to yellow instantly.
Check MetalPaintMetallic and set to 0.9
To make it look like metallic gold, check the metal paint metallic parameter, then fill its value with 0.9. The closer to 1, the more metallic it looks. Finally, check metal paint rock nest and fill it with 0.3.
Check MetalPaintRoughness and set to 0.3
A small value makes the surface smoother and more reflective, just like real gold that shines.
Save with Ctrl+S then close the window
Save the changes by pressing Ctrl S, then close this material instance window.
Press Play again: the golden yellow player is running
Now press play again. Our player is running with a shiny golden yellow color. Notice the light reflections on his body as he moves.
Done! The player is now golden yellow
Done. We successfully changed the player's color to golden yellow by just adjusting the paint-in, metallic, and rock nest. You can try other colors, such as silver or red metallic.
