UMG widget render target for material?

[scrcro (scrcr0)]

@Magneto

Just testing i added a cube and on begin play it set it to the material from the widget but it only shows a blank “Widget3DPassThrough_Masked_OneSided” material. Not the test image the widget should be displaying.

I also tried to do something with the get render target instead of the material and im not sure how to make a material out of it as it won’t input into anything it seems. Not sure what chain is needed to do that.

I also need to use it outside of the actual widget bp as a normal material instance else where in game to apply to various surfaces. If its not too much to ask could you please give a short guide or example image of what i should be doing? It would be really appreciated and it’s such a useful thing im sure others would also. Thanks.

Sure thing. Last engine version I had this working in was 4.19, so assuming nothing’s changed since then I should be able to get a working example.
