UE4 Making Magical Orb Material l 5-Minute VFX Tutorial l Unreal Engine 4.26 (Tutorial)

[@50shadesofskittles9]

I suspect this is a bot speaking but it sounds VERY clear. Would rather hear this than an accent thats hard to understand ... loving the tut and subscribed to your channel. 🙂 BTW, where can we find the 4way chaos thing?

[@kennetherhabor5543]

Click on 'View Options' at the lower right of your Content Browser and tick 'Show Engine Content'. Click on 'Engine Content', then search for the 'Motion_4WayChaos'.

[@Snellyelly387]

Wait, where do we find the 4 way chaos?

[@jkayrichardson3366]

4 way chaos is found in engine content, if you dont fancy searching 4 way in the search bar, its in the file engine/functions/engine_materialfunctions3/complexmotion if you cant find your engine content folder, then you mustnt have engine content enabled, at the bottom of the content broweser, there should be a tab for view options, which has an option for engine content. simply ensure that option is enabled, then engine content will appear as an option in the content browser

Very nice tutorial. Got me confused on the Motion4WayChaos node. But I saw a comment that cleared it up. For those who don't know, go to the contents. Where all the materials, meshes, blueprints etc are. Bottom right of that is a eyeball or gear. It says "View Options". Check "Enable Engine Content" and you will now be able to find the Motion4WayChaos in the content search like this guy shows. I don't know if that is default or not with other versions of Unreal but for my version is was not default. Can't do much if the future versions switch it up but my only critique is if it is not part of the default, then highlight it. Fantastic material, thank you a bunch for sharing. You wouldn't happen to know how to make the inner glow pulsate? Is there a node that automatically goes between 2 numbers to give off that pulsating effect?

[@alraffa5090]

Love these tutorials. Speaks fast and clearly (dont care if its a bot) to the point and results are perfect. Very small critique when you are pulling some of these textures in, to mentino that you need to show the Engine Content in order to access. Some newcomers may not know this right out of the gate. Thank you.

[@janusz4839]

You got the best tutorials! Your work is fantastic. Keep it going! I wish you success.

[@CorebGames]

Thanks! :)

[@ericcurrier50]

Awesome tutorial, my only critique is if you could say the numerical values changed, but aside from that, awesome tutorial man! i really appreciate it.

[@VinoVenitas]

Simple but effective. High speed as always but it worked so thank you

[@fl260]

Yeah, that's a subscribe for sure. Thank you so much. Perfect speed, perfectly clear, perfect results.

[@LFA_GM]

Thank you, a lot. This gives a nice volumetric effect. Keep up the good work.

[@deunank]

Awesome! Just what I was looking for!

[@Beh3D]

Really great channel for tutorials, fantastic work

[@TheSiloZen]

This works even back in 4.17 btw but amazing tutorial

[@CorebGames]

Thanks!

[@jshwhitlow]

Anyway to plug this material into a "World Aligned Texture" node? So that you could have several overlapping static meshes and have them be seamless.

[@ktm4059]

Just curious but what is the Motion_4WayChaos node that you made? Assuming it's a customized node?

[@azizimonsta8532]

same here

[@arieltheartist3161]

You need to enable "show engine content" to be able to see custom nodes (gear icon in content browser)

Thanks !

[@therealinsomni]

My material is just black any suggestions?

[@esbee2663]

same here did u figure it out?

[@Larxia]

@@esbee2663 I know my reply is late but I had the same issue, it was because I didn't set the right values like in the video on the scalar parameters, they're very important. The "divisor" parameter is the one that made it all black for me, but you should also make the other ones like in the video to have the right settings, and then tweak them in a blueprint instance if you want to modify them.

[@aleri1770]

OBRIGADA, DEU SUPER CERTO

[@SilasMckeeIII]

Ctrl+Space opens content browser in material editor just fyi

My material is just black at the end?

[@alystervodka8799]

personally I dislike the bot - I am annoyed by all this fake stuff - but the tutorial is clear. It shows you how to do it, but it doesn't explain anything - like how to get the 4waychaos material. In unreal engine 5.3, it is not in the Engine Content. so this tutorial is useless for unreal 5+.

[@Cronogeo]

Hmm im using UE5.4 and i do have the 4way material, do you have the Show Engine content option ON?

[@alystervodka8799]

@@Cronogeo yep! But it wasn't there in my project. I ended up following another tutorial and made it from scratch instead.

[@SilasMckeeIII]

You said "Frezznle" too many times for me not to point out its pronounced "Fre-nell" its a French word i believe

[@esbee2663]

its ai

[@JaycubMacawl]

I don't know how anyone is supposed to learn anything when these videos just make a million nodes and say "done". That does literally nothing to teach me why each individual node does what it does.

[@starvosxant4348]

Its not a Material nodes tutorial. Its a Glowing Orb tutorial. So no reasons why spend times and times explaining. There are other tutorials and courses with the content you are looking for.

[@Balloonbot]

You need to combine these tutorials with learning about the individual nodes.
