In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add texture rotation controls to your materials in Unreal Engine by editing the parent material. Default materials only let you tile or offset textures

  • Use the Custom Rotator node to rotate textures inside the material editor

  • Add a scalar parameter to control rotation angles in material instances

  • Convert input from 0–1 values into degrees (0–360°) for easier control

  • Extend your master materials so every instance inherits rotation functionality
