When creating materials in Unreal Engine 5, it’s common for the material graph to grow considerably, which can make it difficult to read and understand. Fortunately, there’s a tool that can help solve this problem: the “Add Named Reroute Declaration Node” node.
This node allows you to create named reroute nodes in the material graph, which lets you add more connections to a single output node and make the data flow easier to understand. Simply drag and drop the node onto the graph, and then assign a descriptive name through a right-click.
Named reroute nodes are especially useful when you have multiple connections going into a single input, as you can create several reroute nodes and name them according to the inputs they connect to. This makes the data flow in the material graph clearer and easier to follow.
