"Current Material Blending setup doesn't support more than 3 material instances."

Hi all,

I’m not new to UE, but am bu no means an experienced user.

I have tried setting up blend materials in the usual way using Bridge and UE 5.3.2 or 5.3.1 and am persistantly getting the above error - even if I only use 2 blend materials. I have been trying to use 3 blend materials, but it just wont accept them.

There are a couple of YouTube referances to this and difficult work arounds (setting up a single blend material and adding the other channels manually, which is not ideal).

Does anyone know where I may be going wrong?

I’m not trying to acheive anything groundbreaking, simply trying to set-up a 3 material blend. I’ve followed the tutorials faithfully on YouTube, but nothing works.

Any advice / help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance …

EDIT: This function is fully working in 5.0.3
