Hi

I remember seeing this somewhere but can’t seem to find the option anymore…how do I change the direction the wood grain is running in? Like tilting it. Making it run corner to corner instead of side to side on a platform?

(Couldn’t upload image, keep getting database error popup)

Thanks,

Use CustomRotator node

I don’t want to change the material, just its rotation on one specific object.

Thanks

I am pretty sure you should be using a Blueprint that modifies the material as a Dynamic Instance Material. UE has a great tutorial on DIM’s on their Youtube channel. This way you can modify the CustomRotator for the material instanced only on the object you want modified.

Hello,
at least, you can use instanced material from the first one and rotate it and then use it on your mesh.

Well, you can rotate material direction only through accessing UV coordinates. So DMI with CustomRotator is your choice
