Create a sci-fi HOLOGRAM material shader in Unreal Engine 5 (FREE download)

[@jameshughdalton]

The music in the background is exactly what I needed today.

[@tiedtkeio]

I'm happy to hear that James! My goal is to make my educational content very relaxing and soothing to watch.. 🙂

[@Titank_Production]

Thanks you very much for your work; i messed up somewhere because in the end i got a dark, barely emissive but now i understood the concept of making an instance material. I'll re do this tutorial for sure. Also the music is a very nice addition, good idea !

[@iranazadi7]

This was fantastic and the first unreal tutorial I was able to sit through without all the extra talk. If you need freelance work let me know.

[@tiedtkeio]

Oh that makes me really happy to hear! Thank you so much for watching! 😀

[@naeembadat1957]

Thanks!

[@tiedtkeio]

Wow, that's super kind of you! Thank you so much! Have a great day!

[@kelorean159]

Great tutorial. Thanks. I was using this for a little detail in my video project, and I'd like to add that I learned that it works best if your meshes only have 1 texture applied to them, otherwise, you see through to the opposite side and these textures should be black and white. Cheers.

[@tiedtkeio]

That's great!! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🙂

[@hortafrdarek1621]

best turorial ever! so well explained and relaxing, super helpful! into the chilling! XD

Fantastic tutorial! Using this for one of my school projects, thank you

That's great Mitch! Hope you'll get an A+ 🤓🤘

Late reply haha, but thanks for watching! Glad you liked it! 😍

Loved your coverage and tutorial QOLs. Subbed

That makes me so happy to hear! More tutorials is on the way! 😀

thankyou soo much dude your awsom keep up the good work not like some other guy on youtube who only makes videos to earn money and sell his assets

[@tiedtkeio]

Thank you, that makes me happy to hear! Thank you for watching! 🙂

[@Someone-zn4dh]

Just found this, gonna try to do this since my professor are so bad at explaining. Gonna update if it works

[@tiedtkeio]

Haha I wasn't really that good at explaining each step either, but I hope it helps! :)

[@PrintThatThing]

So cool. Worked well. Thanks for sharing this!! :)

[@tiedtkeio]

Awesome! Thanks for watching! 😄

[@PixelsLaboratory]

Really cool effect, I just have one suggestion for future videos: when populating the shader with node after node after node, it's useful to preview the results from time to time, in order to actually see what we're doing and understand the workflow. Otherwise, if you keep on constructing the algorithm and only reveal the result at the end, it's pretty boring and confusing. I know it's easy to do, since you've done it prior to the video and now you're just following the steps again (probably from a second monitor), but it's not very intuitive for the viewer. Cheers!

[@tiedtkeio]

Thanks for the feedback, I agree 100%! I realised this after watching it again several times looking for improvement. I will definitely make sure my next videos are more intuitive. 😀

[@PixelsLaboratory]

@@tiedtkeio thank you also for these videos!!!

[@suraj.1889]

That is such a great suggestion/

Dude, amazing tutorial

[@AlexMartinez-nn2cm]

Thank you a lot for this tutorial! I'm currently learning Unreal for uni and it was super helpful, thank you so much

[@tiedtkeio]

Happy to help Alex! 🤗 Let me know if there's other topics you'd like tutorials on!

[@Mirhaus]

Thank you! I'm a novice and found it easy to follow along. It works fine in 5.3, though doesn't look quite as glowy as the tutorial does. I am curious about one thing though - when I try to put a custom texture on and apply it on a mesh then the texture starts tiling, while yours wraps around relatively seamlessly. Did you avoid the tiling by using a specific Earth texture or is there some option I've forgotten to check?

[@Novarcharesk]

The lack of interesting glow is also a thing for me on 5.3. It's annoying not to have it

[@caturindrasukmana7673]

This hologram tutorial is very helpful. Thank dude!!

[@Philmad]

Fantastic walk through, great work, thanks!!

[@tiedtkeio]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@ikheiri]

Really awesome. I do wish there was more conceptual explanation of each step and the nodes used.

[@tiedtkeio]

Thank you Irfan! And sorry - I will try to explain each node and what it does in more detail for future tutorials! 🙂

[@HenrikoMagnifico]

Thank you! This tutorial was super helpful :) Also, do you know how I can make the shader display the same on both sides when it is two-sided? As it is, one side will display only the noise texture it seems whilst the other "front facing" side displays normally.

[@ag2so425]

very helpful! very clear tutorial! love from China

[@louvlina]

Hi !! Your tutorial helped me a lot, and i tried to recreate the hologram effect on ue5.3 however the glow does not work at all like you :'( !! Do you have any advice to give me.. ? Thanks in advance !

[@dadades690]

Interesting tutorial, but I have a small problem x) I didn't use panners and a texture image, because it'll be a still image (it's for a blade on a katana), but the thing is, the emissive seems to make it impossible for it to be transparent (the material is set to translucent). If I check in the material window, or if I double click on the mesh and check there, I always see it transparent, but not in the viewer window,... I'm a bit at a loss here x)

[@nicop.exemusic]

Amazing tutorial and asset! thanks

Might I ask where the Gumroad page is? Great video btw!

[@tiedtkeio]

Thanks! There should be a link in the video description for the download! :)

[@The_Zisco]

@@tiedtkeio thanks! I just didn't see it, my bad. I hate to ask more questions, but do you know how to actually import it? I'm having some troubles getting it into ue5.

[@altavision8]

excellent tutorial.. a question, is there a way to see the sphere of the transparent hologram.. because you can't see the other side of the sphere when performing the rotation

[@harshitpenamata2682]

apply the same tex to opacity also

[@bencourtemanche]

Amazing video. Is there a way to make the material move locally instead of world?

[@emiliachristansson9248]

I love it! 🔥 thanks!!

Great stuff. I grabbed your material. Working excellent and doing what I wanted. Just looking at it.. it's plugged into emission but I'm not getting any light emission from it (it's not affecting/lighting anything around it) Any ideas?

[@NB-qq8wo]

Beautiful.

[@tiedtkeio]

Late reply, but thank you so much! 🤓

[@bbignemo]

what glasses do you use and are they with blue filter?

Where did you get a hold of the earth texture?

I can’t seem to import the unreal file into 5.3

[@tiedtkeio]

Thanks for letting me know, I will look into this and get back to you! 😊

[@iranazadi7]

Don't bother. I had the bridge running instead of the plugin bridge. :( It's all working now@@tiedtkeio

[@tiedtkeio]

@@iranazadi7 That's great!! 🤩

[@iranazadi7]

I did all of this following your video and unreal crashed at some poit even though I thought it saved. I opened the project again and it said restore, so I did, and it restored an old file fro VCS. I can't even seem to import from the saved folder with the build data.

[@ben_angel]

ive followed the video for the 3rd time now and i just dont get any colour on my hologram, it's just white. What am i doing wrong?

[@llYuki0okami]

if it is set to character, limbs are visible through the others and its looks bad

[@da_visual]

I have followed the tutorial step by step. I have got the same material results. However I cannot see the material itself on the mesh in the engine. The mesh itself is perfectly fine. Normals in right way. UV mapped. But doesnt work. No idea why. Any solution? PS. I did this on 5.2

[@rehanminhas7677]

Did you find a solution?

[@alexpoon62]

Thanks brother

No problem! Thank you Henrijs for watching my video! 😊✌

[@rickfuzzy]

Thank you, but you could have just put a screenshot and a download link. If you watch Dean Ashford's tutorial he previews every node and explains what it's doing and why. A great tutorial is one where you learn things that equip you to solve your own problems, not just to copy a solution. I do still appreciate the video, but i thought this feedback was important.

[@KB-kp2oz]

To be fair, it doesn't say beginner tutorial. Or even tutorial at all.

[@Adry79_]

can you do this tutorial but in uefn please

[@Novarcharesk]

When I make this, I see zero glow. Like the light that glows off the edges isn't there. It's just a sphere that, while looking good, but no glow. Why would this be? I'm using 5.3 for context.

[@OMAR7ASHEM]

It said this is not available in my location 🥲

Wait, what? The video?
