This page provides information on how to render a material from a .vrscene file.


Overview



When importing .vrscene files, all materials are analyzed and optimized for real-time. However, the original material parameters are stored as metadata, which can be accessed at render time. This feature allows switching between rendering the material that was set in Unreal Engine and the material that is stored in the .vrscene file. This approach opens the possibility to use various and more complex materials that were created outside Unreal (e.g. Blend materials, Carpaints, Subsurface materials, etc.).
