Assigning a Dynamic Material Instance to a Post Process Volume, as Post Process Material

[ElKaWeh]

Hi,

I have a Post Process inside a Blueprint, and a Post Process Material assigned to the Post Process. The goal is, that you can drop the Blueprint into a level, and have the Post Process Material affect the scene. So far so good.
However, I also want to be able to control the material parameters directly through the Blueprint. I know I could use a Material Parameter Collection to do this, but the issue with this would be, that if I change the parameters, it would then be applied to all levels, the Blueprint / Post Process Material is used in. So I figured a Dynamic Material Instance is the way to go.

But here’s where I hit a wall. I don’t know how to apply the Dynamic Material Instance that I created, to the Post Process. For Static Meshes, I would just use a “Set Material” node, and set the Static Mesh Component as a target, like this:

But unreal doesn’t allow me to simply set Post Process Component as a target instead.

For clarification, I want the Dynamic Material Instance to affect this slot:

Is there any way to do this?

You can do it with this simple 207 step process

A much easier way, is to write the material with ‘material parameter collection’ parameters. Then you assign it manually to the PP, but still change it at runtime

Works perfectly, thank you!
