Material Editor Won't Display input/output slot

NomadSoul2501 · June 28, 2014, 5:06pm

Hi, I opened up the project I’ve been working on today and the material editor won’t show the output slot on new nodes and the material inputs have disappeared except for the ones already in use.

This happens for all materials in the project, however other projects are unaffected.

Has anyone seen this before?
Can I do anything to fix it?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Bobeer,

I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
Was this project upgraded from an older version of the engine?
If so, could you specify which one(s)?

Hello Bobeer,

I was able to reproduce these results on our end. However I believe that the connectors option may be unchecked. This is how I was able to reproduce this issue on our end. I have provided an example below. I hope that this information helps.
