How can i make it glow?

I want to make it glow too, it is a crystal material.

Plug something into the emissive channel.

Add a vector parameter in the Emissive Color, also make sure you have Bloom enabled in post process

wooooa what an answer

He’s not wrong, all the descriptions and uses of all the material pins can be found in the ue4 docs.

"Emissive Color The Emissive Color input controls which parts of your Material will appear to glow because they are emitting light. Ideally, this will receive a masked texture (mostly black, except in the areas that need to glow).

Values greater than 1 are allowed because HDR lighting is supported."

I found how to enable bloom but it did not do much
as I augment the intensity, then everything glows
[edit] ok, the trick is to multiply the emissive collor by a certain amount to see it glow

Get vector param, set color, and connect it to multiply (A). Get Constant, adjust value to (example: 100) and connect it to multiply (B). Connect the multiply exec to emissive color.
