Question about procedural textures using TexCoord node.

[nopunintendo]

Hello,

I’m an aspiring Technical Artist, but I’m fairly new to shader programming and material creation in general. I’ve been doing some studying about creating procedural textures using the TexCoord node as a base gradient.

I found this great tutorial with a walk-through about how functions affect this gradient to create interesting texture effects.

However, I’m having difficulty reproducing his results in UE4. I feel like I’m missing something, so if anybody can spot my mistake or direct me to any more resources like this one, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

This is the tutorial (scroll down to the “Functions” heading):

Screenshot of the bit I’m trying to reproduce:

My node graph:

The Sine node has a period of 1.0

It appears that the value I was using for the Sine node’s Period property was wrong. It defaults to 1.0, but I gave it 2pi or 6.28 and the output became the expected.
