How to add the automotive materials
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
CARLA uses Epic Game's Automotive Materials package for a realistic car paint
|
|
look. Due to license restrictions we are not allowed to redistribute this
|
|
package. In this document we explain how to download and link these materials to
|
|
our vehicles.
|
|
|
|
Download from Marketplace
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Epic Games' [Automotive Materials][automatlink] package can be downloaded for
|
|
free from the Unreal Engine Marketplace.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Unfortunately, Unreal's Marketplace is only available on Windows, so you
|
|
need a Windows machine to download this package.
|
|
|
|
1. Install Epic Games Launcher from [www.unrealengine.com](https://www.unrealengine.com).
|
|
2. Buy the [Automotive Materials][automatlink] package for $0.
|
|
3. Create a new dummy project and add the Automotive Materials package to it.
|
|
4. Inside the "Content" folder of the newly created project, you can find the "AutomotiveMaterials" folder. Copy this folder to the CARLA project
|
|
- `{NewProject}/Content/AutomotiveMaterials` --> `{CARLA}/Unreal/CarlaUE4/Content/AutomotiveMaterials`
|
|
|
|
[automatlink]: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/automotive-material-pack
|
|
|
|
Manually link the materials
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Right after opening the project, you should link the automotive materials you
|
|
just downloaded.
|
|
|
|
In the content browser, go to
|
|
"Content/Static/Vehicles/GeneralMaterials/MaterialRedirectors" and open
|
|
"RedirectorInstance".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the "Details" pane, search for the "Parent" material, and replace
|
|
"DummyCar" material by "M_Carpaint" material.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now save "RedirectorInstance", and you are ready to go.
