I’m working with blueprints and wanted to effect the MIC’s values. MICs no longer seem to support runtime variable changes, so there’s now a MaterialInstanceDynamic that allows getting and setting of params, however I can’t figure out how to create an MID either through the content browser or otherwise. Is this not implimented yet or am I looking in the wrong place?
thanks,
Tom
There is a Create MID For Element function node you can call in the Blueprint. If you drag off a pin for the primitive component you want to apply the MID to, it should be under Call Function > Mesh. Or you can find it in the Palette panel and add it by dragging and dropping into a graph.
Oh, THERE it is! I just wasn’t calling it a “MID”, so it was hard to find. Not much else in the blueprint system uses acronyms, such as the casting methods: Cast to MaterialInstanceDynamic, so it’s a little counter-intuitive.
Thanks!
