in all of the Blender tutorials I have done, I have not come across something that I find super useful in UE4: Material Instances! it's so handy to have a parent material that you can adjust that will control different parameters in all the child mats
i'm sure it exists, but i'm not sure where to look? basically i'd love a setup that would allow me to change aspects of the parent material for all objects, but also have overwrite control on the child materials to change parameters on a case-by-case basis
anyone know how to do this in blender? or a tutorial about it? its so easy in UE4😆
material functions would serve just as well - like being able to create a group of nodes that i could point multiple materials to?🤔though if basic parenting isn't possible i doubt this kind of thing would be...
ey, turns out this IS available! it's called Node Groups, more like material functions than material instances i think, but it looks like it'll do what I want it to more or less :D thanks to everyone who suggested this!
