Batch rename and similar operations in the material graph?
This is sort of like a cross-over post with a question I asked here: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-quick-way-to-rename-parameters-in-material-graph/1706116 But my broader question for polycount is, are there any tools or methods to improve QOL with the unreal material graph? Renaming a bunch of parameters,… -
Re: Material layers in 4.19.2 ?
Material Layers don't support multiple shading models. Material Layers is just a another word for "texture set inside a Material Function," so you can probably figure out the limitations are based on Material Functions and a single material. Although some shading models(cloth, clear coat...) support a scalar value as a… -

How can I improve my materials? (UE5 + Substance Painter)
I working on making a forest environment and for the first time I wanted to try to make all my own materials and foliage assets rather than downloading from Quixel Bridge. The only programs I have access to are my old pre-Adobe version of substance painter, blender, and UE5. Obviously in an ideal situation I would have the… -
Emissive Material Lighting Issues
Hey all, I've created a hologram style material that flashes and does a few bits and pieces. It's fine in the material editor and the material itself when in the scene before lighting is built is fine. (see below) When the lighting is built the surrounding bsp's and meshes have crazy lighting. I'm not really sure whats… -
Unity material question
Were having a problem when we try to rename a material and having the material stay associated with the object. For example, I rename the characters material to JimBob_D_Material. The material works on my version. I copy the fbx (and meta), the material (and meta), and the texture (and meta). Another person replaces his… -
Instancing Layered Materials
Hi Polycount! I was wondering if anyone could share some knowledge on how I could go about making a material that can be instanced, and within that material I could plug different existing materials (like tiling wood, tiling rock or metal, etc) and use a mask or multiple masks to control where each material is placed. The… -
Mountain Path Materials Breakdown
This thread is meant as a more focused and condensed version of my previous WiP thread and some additional comments and break-downs of my work. Finished project here. I won't be going too deep into details, I'll mostly just be showing my general structure. I really want to stress: Even though I'm tessellating and… -
Re: How many material IDs can you have?
Not suer what the MatID cap is- I don't think 8 is it though. I believe your ordering can be solved via this method from the UDK docs; When the order of the materials applied to the mesh is important, you can specify a particular order by using a special naming convention for the materials. By default, the materials will… -
Re: Material Definition: Advice, Challenges and Presentation
Let's talk about what material definition is, first. Material definition is being able to clearly tell the difference between adjacent materials, as well as being able to tell what each of those individual materials is made of. For example, I could look at two flat grey materials with different gloss values and assume that…
