Introduction: Hi guys, I’m Asif Ali and you’re watching CGHOW. In today’s video, I’ll show you how I created this material in Unreal Engine 4. Let’s dive into the tutorial!

But first, don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and hit the bell icon to get notifications for all my latest videos!

Tutorial Start:

So, I have Unreal Engine 4.27 open here, and this is a brand-new empty project. I’ll walk you through the whole process of creating this material.

Here’s the reference I’ll be following for this effect. I found it on Pinterest, but it’s originally from ArtStation by the artist Vlad. I’ll make sure to add the link in the description for credit. Here’s the reference image, and we’ll be focusing on this variation today.

---

Model Creation:

Let’s start by creating the base mesh for this effect. We’ll use a cylinder, delete the top and bottom faces, and scale it to create a disk. After scaling it down and adjusting the shape, I’ll go to the UV editor, normalize it, and smooth the mesh out.

I also added a couple of loops to smooth it further. You can also use soft selection to tweak the mesh into a spiral shape, but we’ll keep it simple for now.

---

Texture Creation:

Next, let’s move on to creating the texture for this effect. I’m using Photoshop to create a 1k texture with a black background and a smudged cloud pattern to get a nice, hand-painted look. I’ll show you how to make the texture tileable by smudging and refining it until it’s seamless.

Once done, I’ll save it as a Targa file and import it into Unreal Engine.

---

Material Setup:

Now, let’s create the material. I’ll add the texture to the material and start working with it. First, I make the material unlit, then use a texture coordinate node to control tiling. I’ll adjust the tiling values and create a vortex effect by rotating the texture with a custom rotator node.

I’ll multiply it with a mask to get a clean, centered gradient, and then refine the effect with some tweaking. I also adjust the power values to control the intensity of the effect.

---

Coloring and Final Adjustments:

Next, I’ll add some color variation by using a three-color blend for the yellow, pink, and purple tones. We’ll also tweak the opacity to get a nice, translucent look. I’ll play with the alpha and adjust it with a power node to get a more defined result.

I also want to add some stars to the material. So, I’ll create another texture in Photoshop, this time with some star patterns, and import it into Unreal Engine. I’ll apply this to the same material and adjust its opacity and tiling.

---

Edge Ring and Final Touches:

Now, let’s focus on the outer ring. I’ll use the same texture for the edge effect and apply a gradient to give it a sharp transition. After refining the ring’s appearance, I’ll play with the size and blend the colors to match the overall design.

To make everything feel more integrated, I’ll use the opacity mask to control the blending between the core effect and the surrounding ring.

---

Conclusion:

And that’s it! We’ve created the entire effect in just one material. You can always tweak the values to suit your needs, and I hope this tutorial gave you some ideas for your own work.
