Advanced MatCap Material
Published 17th August 2021 by Henry
Advanced MatCap for Unreal Engine 4 improves on classic MatCap by making it play nicely with free camera movement and rotation. So you can now add beautiful, cheap MatCap materials to your VR project.
Advanced MatCap Material is now available on Epic Marketplace and Gumroad:
Get Advanced MatCap Material (Epic)

This asset pack also includes Advanced MatCap Designer which allows you to quickly create your own custom MatCap textures within Unreal Editor.
