Ever wanted to create a mechanic where players reveal the world as they move, paint directly onto the terrain, or leave footprints in the snow? In this tutorial, I show you how to write world space information to a render target and retrieve that data within your materials to create a powerful “vanishing” effect.
This technique allows for immense creative freedom, enabling players to affect the landscape in ways most games don’t. Whether you are building puzzles, environmental storytelling, or unique gameplay mechanics, this workflow is a game-changer for your UE project.
