A component may have several materials associated with it. In this case it is necessary to inform in the parameter "Element Index" which material will be modified. The image below shows the Skeletal Mesh used in the Unreal Engine templates. The material with Element Index = 0 is used throughout the body of the character. The material with Element Index = 1 had the Unreal logo, but was modified to a gold-like material to illustrate the position where it is applied.
