Material Editor Preview All Black

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering an issue in Unreal Engine 5.3 where the material preview in the Material Editor shows up completely black. The material displays correctly in the viewport, but not in the Material Editor.

Here is a screenshot of my setup:

Steps I’ve already tried:

  1. Unchecked "Show Environment
  2. Adjusted Lighting and Exposure
  3. Verified Material Domain and Shading Model
  4. Recompiled the Material

Despite these attempts, the issue persists. I would greatly appreciate any additional suggestions or insights into what might be causing this problem.

Thank you!
