How to Make "Polarized" Iridescent Glass in Unreal Engine 5 | Substrate Materials Tutorial

Are you ready to learn something new? In this beginner-friendly tutorial for Unreal Engine 5, I'll show you how to create a realistic "polarized" iridescent glass material using Substrate Materials.
It appears on headlights and glass when you take a photo of a car using a polarized filter on the camera.
Let's get started!

Very good, I like your tutorials on substrate materials very much, please give more tutorials on substrate. Thank you so much

[@polyjam.studio]

Sure!! Thanks

[@jjmartin6422]

If your material looks different (white/silver) after about 01:15, dont panic. Follow all the steps, and once you hit "apply" at the end your outcome should match.
I hit apply early.
