Modulate Blend Mode

Hi all,

I am getting an error stating, "[SM5] separate translucency with BLEND_Modualte is not supported. Consider using BLEND_Translucent with black emissive. This was not happening on earlier versions of UE4. Can someone please explain to me what this error means and how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

To note, I have tried replicating the material using Translucent Blend Mode as well as changing the Shading Model but to no avail.

Ok so i figured it out and wanted to post in case anyone else was having this issue. To solve this issue using modulate, you must change your shading model to Unlit and then under translucency uncheck the separate translucency box. Apparently just had to find the right combination to stay on modulate and multiply.

Thanks! This still works but now you have to un-check the “Render After DOF” box.
