Ue4 shader compatible with the material layering workflow used with the "fire hydrant" sample project available in substance painter. see our documentation for more information.. Adding global shaders to ue4 intro on ue4, a global shader is one that doesn’t operate on a material or a mesh - for example, a full-screen quad, a post-processing feature, a compute shader, etc.. First of all i would like to specify that the node-based material editor is not what i'm looking for. i have good knowledge of how to write shaders and compute shaders and the power and flexibility that this brings over the node editor is just unmatched. having an engine as amazing as ue4 with no way of writing shaders seems like a waste..
Ue4 mitigates the shader memory problem with shader compression, and the compile time problem with multicore shader compilation. creating a material shader a material shader type is created with the declare_shader_type macro:. Editing the shader file outside of ue4 is of course a much better dev experience. also, if you’re just tweaking the shader code iteratively, your cycle can go like this: edit code in external editor and save; in the material editor, make a dummy change (such as moving a node’s position) and click the apply button. When you create a material, you're writing in a high-level shader language behind the scenes. if you want to bypass that and input code yourself, there's a raw shader node in the material editor. for post-process shaders look into post-process materials, for vertex shaders look into "customized uvs"..
