Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

Can a Dynamic Texture Object be referenced in a Material?

0

Hi,

I am wanting to reference a UTexture within a Material and am unsure of the best method of accessing the texture.

Is there a way to reference from the Actor that contains the RenderTargets array, or would updating a Material Parameter collection from within the actor be the best course action?

Thank you, Kevin

Got it by adding a Texture Object parameter to the material!

.h 

UMaterialInstanceDynamic* DynamicMaterial;

.cpp 

DynamicMaterial = UMaterialInstanceDynamic::Create(StoredMaterial, MeshComponent);
DynamicMaterial->SetTextureParameterValue(FName(TEXT("RT")), RenderTargets[0]);
