My team is after someone to engineer a modification to the engine to restore custom depth buffer functionality to the forward renderer.

My two main lead-in questions are:

1. Is it feasible?
2. Time frame

Continuing to support the implementation through engine versions right up until Epic adds it back in themselves would be desirable. We’ll pay you for your time.

Email me at justin@skull.co.nz. No PMs on the forum please.
