Was working on learning the fundamentals of Volumetric Fog and lighting in Unreal Engine v4.24 and noticed that my material sphere mask was not generating anything and that the material was not showing. I was able to create the base material for the fog, but it is completely invisible, and remains so as of typing this. I’ve tried making sure every proper setting is checked, Directional Light atmospherics, Volumetric Fog in the Exponential Height Fog, tweaking View Distance, and other methods out there to no avail.
