It’s not blueprint, I remember I thought that for about 6 weeks at the beginning. The nodes are totally different from blueprint.

Try finding any vector nodes in a material, or adding a texture node in a blueprint. Not the same thing.

Having said that, it’s a very efficient system, and gets compiled to SM5 ( or whatever ).

If you really just want to sit there and type shader code, you can either use custom nodes:

or a plugin ( free ):
