Unreal 5.3 - Material effects based on camera distance (FULL TUTORIAL)

In this quick and easy tutorial I'm answering a frequent shader question, which is: how to change material parameters based on the distance to the camera?
Also, 5000+ subscribers! Thanks everyone for the continued support!

wow, very INteresting. Thank you very much

super helpful, but you skipped over creating the Radial Distance group... how did you create the "Offset" and "MaxDistance" param nodes? I can't find an option that gives me the right nodes... EDIT: Just found it... Scalar Parameters

7:50 is there a way go get back the shadows of the mesh?

[@SyraeTheHealer]

At 8:15 instead of switching back to the Radial Distance version could you use the Shadow Pass Switch node to retain both the nice dithering and the object shadows?

[@EnriqueVenturaGames]

Haven't tried that solution but yeah, there are a few ways to solve the shadowing issue; didn't go into those to avoid making the video too long, since the topic was mostly the camera distance based effects. Thanks for the suggestion anyway! :)

Enrique hay muy poquita info de simulation stages, 2d grid, 3d grid y neighbor grid resolution & render target dentro de Niagara.. ¿Te podría interesar desarrollar material para estos temas?.. lo que vemos en libros y videos es información muy manida y es escasa.

[@EnriqueVenturaGames]

Le echaré un ojo pero estos últimos meses no he podido trabajar en vídeos tanto como me gustaría. Añadido a la lista de futuros tutoriales de todas formas, tengo pendiente uno sobre RBD con niagara, en ese explicaré un poco como va lo de los neighbor grids,2D y 3D. Saludos!
