How to...Dithering

[@Ali107]

You could use this to make objects fade away when the camera clips into it.

Nice and easy. Thank you for the tutorial. I was able to skip that dynamic material setup in the blueprints part at 3:39 by using the function, 'Set Scalar Parameter Value on Materials'. The function lets you simply type in the parameter name for the dither percent

Additional tip: I had some static meshes that spawned on my character after death using the SpawnActorFromClass. These weren't fading away after the original mesh faded. So I set up the dither scalar parameter in the materials for the static mesh. Then I went back to the blueprint and added 'Set Scalar Parameter Value on Materials.' From the SpawnActor box, I dragged the return value to the target of the Static Mesh and then set the Parameter Name for the dither parameter and hooked the timeline track to the Parameter Value. Now both my enemy character and static meshes fade away together seamlessly. Thanks again. Hope this helps someone!

Fantastic! Thank you. I was messing around all evening with Fade Timeline to do this but couldn't make it work. This worked.

Great example, can you show how to take this material and blend with an existing material, ie how to make the UE mannequin dither away using the existing materials, etc.

this was extremely helpful thank you kindly

will it work if anti-aliasing mode is set to FXAA and not Temporal AA..?

Dithering setup with LODies :-) Would love to see how you advise to set that one up. Hate things on the map popping when LODies kick on or off. :-)

I assume this could be used in connection with Mesh Distance Fields? So that an object will fade as a char/obj/camera gets close to it? Yea?

How would u make something fade when a player walks near it

[@sithmaster]

[Question] When I use a dither that is using PixelDepth for dithering over a distance, the shadow is not going to vanish like in your example. Any idea what could be causing it?

[@markdoyle9863]

Solved: Need to use Element Index when you have multiple textures on your character.

[@C1ayz]

i want to do the opposite (fade in )

Works on desktop but not on mobile.
