Stop your textures from looking stretched or blurry! In Part 31 of the Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Series, we build a realistic wall material and learn the essential skill of Texture Tiling.
In this lesson, you will learn how to use the TextureCoordinate (TexCoord) node to control how many times a texture repeats across a surface. We also dive into surface detail by using a Perlin Noise texture to drive the Roughness channel. This adds realistic smudges and variation to your walls, making them look like real materials rather than flat digital colors.

In this Tiling and UV tutorial, we cover:
- Material Setup: Creating "M_WallBasic" for environment assets.
- TextureCoordinate (TexCoord): How to scale and tile textures for any mesh size.
- Roughness Variation: Using Perlin Noise to create surface imperfections.
- Math in Materials: Using the "Add" node to fine-tune the intensity of your roughness.
- Vector 3 Nodes: How to create specific colors using the Constant3Vector.
- UV Mapping Basics: Understanding the relationship between textures and 3D geometry.
