Hello Everyone!
I m trying to give to my UI Text a glowing effect but I havent found a way to do this correctly. I ve followed many tutorias online but nothing useful.
Any suggestions?
I found this post that might be useful for you.
Another user also mentioned that it can be done in C++.
Also, this tutorial, even though it’s old, could work
Documentation abour Font Materials and Outlines
Hope it helps!
Allright so after some hours in engine, actually knew what I want to do but had some trouble to work it out in terms of the underlaying tech however think I got something that you might like.
Before make sure Engine→UserInterface→EneableDistanceFieldFontRasterization
On Your Font Atlast make sure its Runtime and SDF
Make a new material Domain→UI, Blending →Transparent
Here is the material simply adjusts the glyphs SDF stop line adding some opacity to it.
On your widget add a text component→Assign the material newly created (Mine’s name UnlitTextBlur) and check the box “Material Is Stencil”
Ofcourse can be improved as outline only glow, inner and outer glows too.

Hi,
SDF ( Signed distance field) available 5.5+
In Unreal Engine (UE) 5.5 and newer, you can use signed distance field-based text rendering for any UI (user interface) text. This includes conventional signed distance fields and multi-channel signed distance fields (MSDF), which preserve sharp corners.
