That 1 channel noise idea for rain is such a smart and neat idea! Love all your videos mate, always such a pleasure to see what you come up with and the progress you make!
I use a channel mask parameter for my vector noise, so I can switch channels on material instances. there's also a static channel mask parameter, which allows you to mask the vector however you like, instead of a single channel, but I believe it has to recompile the shader.
When you think you know everything about the topic, then you see Charlie's video, and it always adds something that leverages your knowledge. Best Unreal Engine channel for me. Wow.
Its strength is its weakness. If we want to make a noise effect procedural, and apply it to an actor moving in space, then everything falls apart, because the texture will move too, and in most cases we don't want that. . :)
@@PrismaticaDev Thanks. I found also a solution. I use "Object position" substract "absolute world position". This, cancels the pattern change of the material.
I just recently saw an Unreal Fest 2022 video on "35 UE5 Features You Probably Don't Know About" - th-cam.com/video/k2IP5DYQ0-0/w-d-xo.html - which had a tip I didn't know about at 36:36 into the video. They showed how to get a coordinate relative to the original T-Pose of a character that could be fed into Noise node to get a consistent coordinate regardless of its current pose or world position (uses Pre-Skinned Local Position and Pre-Skinned Local Bounds in front of a Vertex Interpolator node). Anyhow, seemed really useful for anyone trying to use Noise with skeletal meshes.
Hey hey! I'm not sure I ended up getting around to it specifically, although my rain setup is super simple compared to others and could be replicated with some general material knowledge. Particularly this Noise video and Vertex Colour video (for removing rain effect indoors etc)@@oskaroskar9589
I only wished you would also make tutorials for ending Examples of your 5-minute material episodes. many times they are really amazing. like the Rain on this one.
It's quite simple - I just add a bit of the noise to the normals. I'll be making a more in-depth video on some effects in the future but I prefer to just cover the tools rather than the implementations
Is it possible to use these nodes as a layer mask in the texture. I want to make some spotted gums and the idea of the spots changing based on world location appeals to me.
never used the vector noise function, looks neat also never heard of tri planar projection, is that maybe a thing that would fit intothe 5 minute material series? thank you for the great videos, ive been recommending you left and right to my fellow students
Still afther long time not seeing your videos i always come back for some reminding or good extra idea's, so keep going! i love all your videos! I have a question about a way to use this noice on characters. When i use world posistion it does great on overlapping UV edges, but the down side is that it changes when moveing the object or / pawn. is there a way to hold the same noice in place on the local object / pawn while they still overlap UV edges?
@@esotericgamedev no, however you could write a custom noise function (or find one online) and implement it in blueprint AND in the material, making sure the input parameters are the same. This way it’s completely deterministic (this is how most games do water waves/buoyancy)
I was trying this out but wanted to take what i've learnt from Vertex Normal WS + time node and chuck it into World Position offset from another tutorial - which works as intented, but only on circles, however cubes? Not so much.. I opened up the same project in UE4 and it works..? Is this something you've encountered?
I think it would be very dependent on the cube itself. Since WPO is a vertex operation and cubes only have 8 verts to play around with, and the verts are also disjointed. Maybe there is a difference in the cube model?
@@Ayrayen Ahh you're talking about World Displacement, which is different from World Position Offset. If you want it to work with a cube without tessellation you'll need to add extra vertices to the cube faces
Generally to note for everybody its good to use a normal noise texture instead for 90% of usecases because the Noise node is very expensive in comparison but sometimes like Charlse's rain effect its worth it :)
have you tips about creating an ink noise? that should move towards camera, like it's expanding. i'm following many of your tutorial and finds all useful, unfortunately I cannot achieve my result, if you have spare time to comment me a good approach, this will be appreciated.
hi, I am new in ue5 and I'd like to get this noise pattern to look as a kind of bump or normal map but I can't find any information about it. What I am looking for is trying to get a material with a fine detailed noise for a product material. Any help will be much appreciate it. Thank you
The Fast 3D Gradient version is especially cheap, however the more layers you add the more complex it becomes. However, there will always be bigger fish to fry (reducing draw calls, setting up good streaming etc)
but wait, if this is position based, why on earth would you use this node to make dirt on your character - assuming that character is moving about and animated??
I'm currently working on AR Project using Spark Ar and I've watched some of your videos about world projection, texture coordinate, UV and vertex normal tutorial. Some of them working properly, and thank you soo much. but in some cases I'm still confused, every software has a different way of normalization value. 🥲

Love all your videos mate, always such a pleasure to see what you come up with and the progress you make!
This is the best channel for unreal engine stuff! Absolutely love every tutorials you make man!
Man U really make the material stuff look a lot easier to understand. Thanks!!
That rain trick is brilliant. I love that sort of sneaky shenanigan, getting multiple uses out of a simple system.
You do a great job releasing really interesting tidbits. Thank you!

Good stuff! Also really enjoying the nostalgic rs aesthetic of your videos.
Whenever you say noise, my brain automatically says NOICEEE
These are always so inspiring, i look forward to each 💜

You can use the Pre-skinned position node for skeletal meshes, and use Local space for moving actors :)
@@PrismaticaDev Thanks. I found also a solution. I use "Object position" substract "absolute world position". This, cancels the pattern change of the material.
@@vigevital7247 That could work, although it might not account for rotation. You can use the "Transform" node to change world to local space etc

Funnily enough this is what the next 3 videos are about! Already filmed and awaiting editing.
thank you for the great tutorials as always!
Can you make a tutorial and show how you've set-up your rain, please? Looks fantastic btw!
Sure thing! I'll actually be covering it a bit more in-depth in a video in the future
@@PrismaticaDev Lovely! Thank you so much for everything you're doing for us!
bro, where i can find the rain tutorial? @@PrismaticaDev

actly i think its gona be greatfull totoruail ty prismatica tbh i was about to search smth like that btw
Will you upload a tutorial for your ocean waves and foam?
at first i was like wtf but then i was like ohhhhh. very quick & informative thank you
damn I missed 5-minute series, finally ! make some tutorial about flow maps
Sure thing!!

Can you read the output of the material noise node in a blueprint graph to drive gameplay?
@@esotericgamedev no, however you could write a custom noise function (or find one online) and implement it in blueprint AND in the material, making sure the input parameters are the same. This way it’s completely deterministic (this is how most games do water waves/buoyancy)
@@PrismaticaDev thank you 🙏
It's great you make more videos, thanks:
Hello, how would we go about taking control of the UV on an Atlas on a 3d mesh and telling the UV to go to any particular index in the atlas?
What would be the optimal version of the noise node if a simple noise texture dont work similar?
Noice! I like it.
I am new to unreal and why does the noise here look so different to the perlin noise in blender/unity?
You might need to adjust the size/levels/turbulence or the noise type
@@PrismaticaDev oh, thanks.
Great video! I just wish we had a bit more use cases
I use it in a few places in upcoming videos, keep an eye out :)
Question... How is the effect of clothes in water ? Can you explain this to us ?

@@PrismaticaDev This is incredible - you're absolutely right. The cube doesn't have as many vertices as the circle of course!
Many thanks!
nice
Generally to note for everybody its good to use a normal noise texture instead for 90% of usecases because the Noise node is very expensive in comparison but sometimes like Charlse's rain effect its worth it :)
I'm wondering if a volume texture might be better
Does the noise update constantly? Is it heavily expensive? Seems cool but I don't want to slow down my texture
9am central or standard, or aussie?
In 15 minutes! :)
Hey, how did you set up the node's values to show up liike that and be editable on the graph? Is it a plugin?
It's the new default in Unreal 5.1! :)
@@PrismaticaDev Thanks!
i love me some noise: the node: the movie
Hi, do I have to install some plugins for the Lerp nodes? I don't seem to find it
You might need to search Linear Interpolate. You can also hold L and left click
have you tips about creating an ink noise? that should move towards camera, like it's expanding.
i'm following many of your tutorial and finds all useful, unfortunately I cannot achieve my result, if you have spare time to comment me a good approach, this will be appreciated.

Quality info as always. Comment comment.
I'm scared of the performance implication of these nodes
The Fast 3D Gradient version is especially cheap, however the more layers you add the more complex it becomes. However, there will always be bigger fish to fry (reducing draw calls, setting up good streaming etc)
but wait, if this is position based, why on earth would you use this node to make dirt on your character - assuming that character is moving about and animated??
You use the Local position instead, in combination with the Pre-skinned nodes :) You can check out my video on Pre-skinned nodes for more info
Can you make a 5 minute tutorial that teaches everything? Not even just Unreal stuff. Thanks.
