Hellooooooo friends! A "quick" video today on animating material parameters in UE5 using keyframes. This covers all basic parameters that you would typically have when creating a master material or any parameters you would use in a PBR workflow. We will take a look at using a Material Parameter Collection to achieve this and then keyframe these values in Sequencer. I find this to be a really simple and easy way to add some subtle details and dynamic elements to a scene. Hope this is helpful, and thanks for all the support as always! 🫶🏽✌🏽
Disclaimer: All these techniques I'm showing come from an Archviz/3D Art/Art Directing background and not a game development frame of mind. So if I do use techniques that aren't the most resource efficient or optimized please keep that in mind. And as always, I'm open to all constructive criticism - so please do send me a better method that you know of and I'd be more than happy to listen!

Great tutorial. Idk if you figured out the color picker since, but double clicking on a color keyframe in the sequencer will bring up the color picker.

Mate.....you are a life saver! I can't believe I haven't tried this 😑

PERFECT! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@_danielromao]

Thank you so much!!! I don't know why the Epic team doesn't put a simple keyframe button for emisse materials. You were a life saver!

I've been looking for a way to animate a car tail light for a while now and this is the best tutorial of this that I've found, perfect

[@matthewward1346]

Funny, almost exactly what I was looking for!

Your lectures are really useful to me. I subscribed. I will visit your UA-cam channel

Wow :O

[@safc237]

Is it possible to create something like this, but using a spotlight (for example) instead of an emissive material?

[@Glowbox3D]

I was looking for a way to animate the emissive intensity. I guess it's different. This is more of a cowboy switch eh?

[@ali.3d]

Yep, so if you make a new scalar parameter in your MPC, plug that into the emissive intensity of your material - you'll be able to keyframe the intensity values.
