This is probably the most basic question (I started using unreal engine yesterday) and I was wondering how you tile textures because at the moment the texture is just stretched across my object. Any help? ---

Hey there! This is very simple. In your material, attach a TextureCoordinate node to the UV input of your diffuse (and normal, if you have one). Then, you can change the X and Y tiling inside it. ---

Thanks! When I searched for an answer all I got were people complaining that it was tiled (instead of my problem being that it wasn’t). This worked perfectly though! ---

These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from... This is the tutorial I am following and it seems for them, it was automatically set to tiling from the start, but for mine it is clamping and stretching. When I went into the M\_Concrete\_Tiles and set the TexCoord from .5/.5 to 5/5 it looked better, for the floor texture, but when I tried to increase it for the wall texture M\_Concrete\_Poured to something like 1 / 25 and 25 / 1 and nothing changes. I am not sure if I’m not changing the right TexCoord’s values for UTiling and VTiling. I’ve seen in other post about this advanced option setting texture to clamp or tiling but I have been unable to find this option. Any idea how I should go about trying to tile the wall texture? ---

Is there any way to make it tile correctly an all sides of something like a block? adding a bunch of tiles this way only looks good on 2 sides of a stretched block and the rest is squished ---

Alittle late, but just ran into this problem myself… one way to get is to, pull from a UV socket and type in “coord” and it shows up ---

Here is a good video on scale-able tiling with “TextureCoordinate” node: [Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial - Scale Textures - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4aXXm8km3w) Or, try the “BrickAndTileUVs” node and set variables with “scalar parameter” nodes in the material’s blueprint… seems like it is designed to do tiling as a baked feature in UE4.17 See blueprint example in this thread: [https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/rendering/104244-how-to-make-a-ceramic-tile-floor-material?p=892751#post892751](https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/rendering/104244-how-to-make-a-ceramic-tile-floor-material?p=892751#post892751) ---

You need to attach the “Texture Coordinate” node to both your textures in the “UVs”. Not only the NormalMap one. ---

This is the best answer. This exposes the UV tiling as parameters, which means you change the tiling on any Material Instances you create from the Material. ---

For new users, the U\_Normal and V\_Normal nodes in the image above are “ScalarParameter” nodes and the Append node is a “AppendVector” node. ---

To tile textures instead of stretching them across your object: 1. Ensure proper UV mapping. 2. Use UV coordinates in your shader. 3. Adjust texture scale and offset. 4. Set repeat or wrap modes as needed. we get for more details: **[Whatsapp GB Atuailzado](https://wasuppgb.com/)** ---

I was having the same challenge: I properly unwrapped my model in Blender and scaled the texture to my model, but when I changed the scale of my object in Unreal, I couldn’t figure out how to get the texture to tile. For anyone who comes after, here’s how I solved it (working in Unreal 5.6) ![Screenshot 2025-06-10 at 5.39.53 PM](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/b/2/d/b2deccdae33a396445ebbc3d0f15903426329978.png) ---

Above answer works for me in 5.6 as well - used it to tile a logo pattern as a “banner” using a plane scaled in the Y axis. Didn’t seem to work great for a cube though.
