Material instance not updating parent material or level - v4.27

n00b here … with a n00b question:

I created a Material Instance from a Material and it won’t update the parent Material or the Level. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

If I update the parent Material, that works and updates the Level, but the Material Instance won’t update anything but itself.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks.

The MI comes from the parent. If you change the parent, the MI will change, but not the other way around.

If you want the material to change during play, put the MI on a mesh, and declare it in a blueprint as ‘dynamic material instance’, then you can tweak the params.
