Material Node Creation Tool set-up (Unreal Market Place) - YouTube
Upgrade your material skills by having quick access and exposure to hundreds of examples.
You can either copy the image address into the tool, and the node example will be spawned just above your main material node. Or, you can spawn the examples by clicking through the node menu and sub menu within the tool. For quick references to specific examples, click on the category, then sub-category, then click on the web link button on the far right to see the documentation. (See video link above)
