How to rotate a plane around Z world axis PLUS tilt it in it’s local Y axis in a Material (no code).

Hello!
In summary: I want to rotate a vertically aligned plane around Z world axis and at the same time tilt it in it’s local Y axis.

More details:
I have a simple plane. My world coordinates are X = forward, Y = right, Z = up. I rotated this plane so, it’s in ZY plane. And it’s local X points in world Z-up.

How can I make this plane rotate around Z world axis with a parameter. And at the same time also rotate this plane around its own, local Y axis with the parameter. So, it looks like it’s tilted down/up.

I’ve tried to chain RotateAboutAxis nodes. Separately they work just fine. But when I try to combine them - the result is a skewed mesh/plane…

I want to do it only in materials/shader. And also so, it works in Unreal 5.3.2.

I have solved this and I figured I’d post the solution for anyone dumb enough to want to do this who might stumble upon this thread and come to the wrong conclusion based on the discussion. Restating the Problem. Create a planar UV projection in Object space that is always aligned to the camera. No matter how the object is oriented or where it is in the world, a planar projection generates a set of UVs that are attached to the object and face the camera. With the result, a projected texture wi…

Woah! Thank you so much! I’ve spent the whole day yesterday trying to solve it.
Thank you!
