i did a global material with every settings i need, but i have a problem, i can multiply the global size of a texture coordinate, but can’t access U and V size separatly, btw i want to add a parameter to set the UV Channel in my material too.
is there a way to do that ? the coordinates node have not input for that.
Actually i have to create severals master materials with differents U and V size and its a pain.
An another question, i try to optimize my scene and i wonder if there is a different performance impact by using simple or complex material.
I mean, if i create a Master material with a lot of parameters (wich i can disable if i dont need it), is it slower to compute for UE4 than a simple material ?
Hey Fabilabo,
You can multiply TexCoord output by 2Vector, it’s like U * X and V * Y.
Basically you can treat UV node like 2Vector because it exactly what it is
OK i understand why it didn’t work, when i convert constant2vector into a parameter because i need to access into my instance mat) i can’t connect it in multiply node, any help ?
ok if I got that right you want to make your texture coordinate into a parameter, right?
you can just make 2 parameter nodes and you ‘append’ them and then multiply with the UV texturecoordinate node.
I’ve used component masks to split the U and V’s before. I had a texture that needed two orientations. Rather than rotating it in photoshop and increasing the number of textures, I used an R component mask and a G component mask on the coordinates. I used the append in reverse and got the rotated image.
