I’ve been working on a Material in UE5.3, trying to make a autoMaterial for my landscape. Following a bunch of tutorials I ended up with something that works and looks great imo. However, one crucial node to combine the whole thing makes it so opening the Material Instance crashes Unreal. If I remove the node, the Material…
I’ve completed the modular tunnel pipe set. It uses two materials: A tileable, vertex-painted concrete material for the tunnel walls and floors (512×512 textures). A trim sheet material for the train rails, lights, pipes, cables, and other metal elements (1024×1024 texture). The vertex count is slightly high:* T-pipe:…
Hello everyone, We have been working on a material editor for a while and are very excited to release it today. This brand new feature has multi-material support for diffuse, normal, specular maps and many more. With this tool you can now fine-tune the materials of your objects in real-time with the Sketchfab viewer. You…
It really depends on the project, the engine and the object but in general if its going to have a few textures, create a multi-sub object (click standard and change it to multi-sub) and add new textures to the multi-sub assigning the ID's as you go. So you have one master material instead of a bunch of separate ones. This…
Hey guys, i've two materials that i want to blend with an alpha mask. the idea was to set up both materials seperartly and blend them by using an alpha mask in a third material. i know that it works i've seen it somewhere but i dont know to get it right. what i've done so far: 1. i made two materials 2. i used for both a…
He was talking about "Use Scene Material" when you are creating a new xref record from file, and objects have the same material name as a scene material. So I'm not sure to understand correctly your issue. The only way for a material to exist in a scene is either to be assigned to an object or beeing in the material…
Hey all, I am working in unreal 5.4.4 and have the current error message with Nanite. I have nanite disabled in project settings → render tab. I also have raytracing and lumen disabled as I have no need for those in my current project. I checked all my models, material and blueprints and didn’t see nanite enabled on any of…
Two questions: Is this normal: I load a new material and choose the default damage material (white scratches over gray background basically). I accept the choice. The scratches show in albedo channel properly, but no other channels seem to be affected. For example, none of the scratch details seem to show up at all in the…
Just want to double confirm this: There are currently no way to reload material in SP right? I can choose to import an updated material as a separate material, but not update the original material when SP is open, correct? Even replacing the original sbsar file and re-apply material won't cause SP to reload AFAIK. Only…
Tried to apply a smart material that i saved myself after tweaking an excisting material. When trying to apply this material to a color ID on another project the materail ends up inside the group of a different color ID. The color ID is fine and works well with other materials. This only seems to happen when i try to load…
