Runtime Material Creator

A fully functional in-game material creator!

Important note: The new Unreal engine 5.3 update broke the "Download Image" node used to import the textures used in your materials and it stopped working with local images. Therefore, Material Creator cannot be updated until I manage to find a fix for this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You can browse, create and edit materials directly in-game and save them on your computer as text files!

You can import textures either from your computer or from the web ! With support for texture, roughness, metallic, normal and scaling, rotation and translation.

After creating your material, you can apply it to any mesh you want.

This asset is fully documented, has a quick guide for easy implementation.

If you are using UE5.1.1, open BL_MaterialMacroLibrary in Content/RuntimeMaterialCreator/Blueprints/BP_MaterialMacroLibrary.uasset then open the AppendFilePrefix macro and change file:\\\ to file:///. Sorry for the inconvenience.

IMPORTANT

This asset uses one plugin:
