In this shader tutorial I cover the anisotropic shader options available in Unreal and Unity. I show how micro grooves in the surface can change the reflections/specular from isotropic to anisotropic and how to use the features of Unreal and Unity to create brushed metal shaders.

Here are links to the documentation for these features:

Unreal

Unity

Here's last week's video on fabric shaders:
