View, World, Object, & Tangent Space - Shader Graph Basics - Episode 10

In this beginner tutorial, we go over the various spaces available in computer graphics - view space, world space, object space, & tangent space. I go over what they are and show several examples of how to convert between spaces and what they can be used for.

Here's last week's video - Input Vectors:

And here's the playlist for the whole series:

I fully paused making my game to watch your video series. Incredible.

This is really great. Following tutorials always talks about "set this to world or object space" "write in the shader to convert to clip space".
But never being able to understand or visualize it. This helps a lot with it.

I look forward to these videos every week.

Thank you! I like the idea of being able to use the same rock meshes and still account for moss/sand/snow/etc.

However - what if the player can interact with the object - say kick the rock and the rock turns over - at that point I would want the moss to be in object space ... but only sort of - I want the moss to stay where it was on the object but I want the initial position based on the orientation of the rock when it was placed... is there a way to create a different "space" one that accounts for the difference in the original orientation of the object space to world space and then use that to hold the moss?

Hi, interesting tutorial. How did you create the TransformVector.

[Restart-Gaming]

Have off topic question Do you have any tutorials on landscape baking new material to open world tile map? I have one tried many times when i change the landscape material on most of the map with out baking some of the tiles would take the new material and some will not? they revert back to what was there before? was told to bake but now they are all blurry? any help would be very grateful.

Hey Ben ./ Can u tell me plz do u have any idea about the Shadow Catcher on Surface in Material ? I really appreciate if u have any idea - Thanks

[SoleilHampton]

Hi! For the moss example, I tried skipping over the saturate node and went straight from TransformVector to the mask, and see no visual difference. Why do we want to clamp the results? Thanks.

Is there any way in Unreal to make the Destination a Parameter so I can change in quickly in a Material Instance?
