How can I have a Text Render not be affected by lighting?

I have a Text Render in the scene but since the scene is kind of dark the text isn’t as clear as it should be. How would I go about changing this?

Hi VideoJames -

Yes, make a Text Material which is set to Unlit and plug in the color of your font into the Emissive Channel and it should standout from your darker background setting.

Thank You

Thank you!

Worked for me as well, thank you!

Apparently there is An engine translucent text material that disables lighting on a textrenderer components text for example. If you cant find it when searching you can go to the viewoptions and check the “show engine content” box.
