Honestly your screenshot of your material is so small I can't understand what is happening but my guess is either your normal is too weak or your logic...

[Arkiras]

Set "receives decals" to off on your character mesh.

[Arkiras]

Is your material set to use pixel offset for refraction?

[Arkiras]

Most likely they had a 0 plugged into their material's AO channel or a black texture map

This is true for stationary and dynamic lights,...

[Arkiras]

Well none of us can see what is happening so these are quite literally, blind guesses.

Seems unlikely to be a hardware problem, I've had...

[Arkiras]

After my last post I got to thinking and came up with a really hacky way to do this, I basically just spherified a cube, chopped it up into 5 sides, and...

[Arkiras]

It's not quite fisheye as it's more cylindrical than spherical, but UE4 does now support Panini Projection out of the box thanks to the UT project (R.I.P.)....

[Arkiras]

Not my finest work but it gets the point across. The important part of painting the shadow into the texture is to have a specular mask. I cannot...

Raytracing is inherently noisy, you can't generate enough samples to converge on a noise-free result in realtime. A denoiser is used to improve the result...

[Arkiras]

Because skylights are unshadowed, this happens with every interior space (including houses and buildings) in any scene that is lit with a skylight. Indirect...

[Arkiras]

It's using screenspace reflections, they can be turned off globally or per material

The only performance cost should be coming from whatever you are doing inside the blueprint. Static mesh components inside blueprints that can be instanced...

[Arkiras]

Make an actor that is a child of StaticMeshActor, open up the blueprint and you can add whatever tags you want.

[Arkiras]

Personally I just tested it in the default first person template level with no landscape, so it definitely works. No idea what the problem could be in...

[Arkiras]

Create an Actor Foliage asset and then in its settings, set the "Actor Class" to your pot BP. Drag the actor foliage asset into the foliage...

[Arkiras]

The quality of that screenshot is so bad it is impossible to read the whole thing but it looks like your game thread is being eaten up by some logic you...

[Arkiras]

Yes sorry, lower number = more detail.

[Arkiras]

Paintable actor foliage?

Edit: Appears you're right! Awesome, thanks for pointing this out ...

[Arkiras]

Volumetric lightmap density volumes will allocate higher density.. in theory. In practice I find it is only really useful for making the sample density...
