WTF Is? Material Parameter Collection in Unreal Engine 4 ( UE4 )

[@iSkaeith]

This guy is probably the best informational resource on Unreal out there. He gives you the basic building blocks of understanding a feature or function instead of "Just do this to make this" and it really can't be understated how valuable that is.

[@DarkSession6208]

Its honestly sad that there is only one guy who actually understands what teaching means. If someone is good at something comes down to if his teacher was good.

[@adamgeiger4990]

Just want to say thank you for all you do.

[@ogradus]

I've been watching this guy for 5 years. He's the best

[@eligijuspranskunas3509]

this guy makes the short and transparent explanations. he is brilliant! not like the others - spending hour for explaining and you still can't understand.

[@Daniel-qt5ib]

This is one of those things where I was like "Surely something like this exists in Unreal, it has to", and boy was I relieved to find out that it does :D Thanks for the vid!

[@KuyruksuzSatyr]

And sometimes it just doesnt exist and i have to explain to my team, why i can't "just make it happen" and have to find a workaround for the rest of the day :D

[@LowLevelLemmy]

Thank you Mathew 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DEFICITGames]

Best ue4-tutorials on the web! Thank you Mathew.

[@FluteboxFan]

You're such a Legend Mathew, I don't even know where to start to thank you!

[@RavenJCain]

Seems like this would be the method used to create a weather system. Wind, wetness, etc... applied to foliage and landscape.

[@merronmist2368]

how to use this to seamlessly alter material panner speed?

[@IWillYeah]

Is there any to store variables in a material so they can be read in a blueprint?

[@kulman4295]

Lifesaver! Still valid in UE5

[@1d33f1x3]

Nice primer - thanks!

[@gadorian3562]

[@cloel2298]

[@imagine-games6677]

never too late to learn something new

[@Mijdax]

Could it be that User Interface objects that use a user interface material wont update when I change values of the material collection parameters?

[@MathewWadsteinTutorials]

This looks like it is a bug in the current version (4.14 and below possibly) but it IS fixed in 4.15. I just tested it in 4.14 and had the issue but the same setup in 4.15 worked fine! answers.unrealengine.com/questions/552859/umg-material-not-reflecting-parameter-collection-c.html

[@Mijdax]

Wow thanks for the quick reply. This was driving me crazy. Time to call it a night and update the engine tomorrow

[@TGA19]

Great video.How would you use this to change the state of a texture? Like,adding cracks to a smooth rock when you press the button without changing it's color or anything that was already on it.

[@NextLevelBullshlit]

So this could be used then to change for example weather effects on materials. Thats awesome.

[@dimension3plus]

Really useful - thanks.

[@terrablader]

great as always can you explain how to get Material Parameter Collections parameter material instance?

[@totallyfromearth-y8x]
