Turn contact shadows off on your directional light

[Arkiras]

I suggest you prepare to be disappointed....

[Arkiras]

Think it was pretty obvious I was specifically speaking from a performance optimization standpoint.


You may want to give it another...

[Arkiras]

So a totally pointless hypothetical will melt a 1080ti? Fair enough

Indeed. "Use more geometry near the camera" is very much a...

Unplug the normal.

Normal input probably shouldn't be a vector param unless you're going for a really stylized look. What's happening is...

[Arkiras]

DIsplacement maps don't contain surface normal information which is what is used to light your mesh. You can use the NormalFromHeightmap node to generate...

[Arkiras]

What are you even looking at? Every triangle in the scene generates quad overdraw where two triangles share the same 2x2 quad. This is blatantly obvious...

What does the material look like

[Arkiras]

No idea what you're doing if you're "crippling" a 1080ti with masked materials. Here's the stress test I did for my own project:

...

[Arkiras]

This is perfectly achievable within UE4 but this would be a translucent material with a mask in it, not a "masked and translucent" material....

[Arkiras]

Are you using light propogation volumes?

Also what does the material look like?

[Arkiras]

I don't own RDR2 and can't comment on how they made their grass, but given that it's a game it almost certainly used grass cards, because that's what...

[Arkiras]

More importantly what do your lightmap UVs look like....

[Arkiras]

For whatever it's worth, if you actually WANT motion blur on, then you can try adjusting the target framerate in the post process settings in order to...

[Arkiras]

I am assuming whatever shader they are using for the node preview is converting it to a vec3 and only filling the red channel, same as I described above....

[Arkiras]

Try turning motion blur off and see if it goes away

[Arkiras]

You really should have run it for at least a couple of minutes, lightmass can initially drop utilization when skylight radiosity starts but it should...

[Arkiras]

As I recall, this happens when you plug a float value into an input that takes a vec3/vec4. It converts it and since a float doesn't need all the channels,...

[Arkiras]

It can only be one or the other, not both. "Decal blend mode" doesn't do anything unless your material domain is set to deferred decal, which...

[Arkiras]

Perhaps I missed it but there don't appear to be any intel-specific optimizations here. Most of this article is about setting up swarm, and the only Intel...
