Can Someone Using "Mutable" Help Me Figure Out The "ClipMorphMesh" Node

I have a pair of boots that I want to sit on top of certain pairs of jeans. I have a material variation for when the boots are on that essentially passes the same mesh through but adds a tag that the ClipMorphMesh node is operating on. However my mesh is never altered. No matter where I put the clip volume it seems to never have an effect.

There are a bunch of bugs with this plugin but Its really good. This is a huge road block. In the Cyborg demo project this exact set up works properly. I’ve even tested it in 5.4 with my meshes so there has to be something I’m missing.

I think my mesh may be too low poly for this node to work but I cant be sure.

After more testing its a combination of 2 problems. The node in 5.3 does not work correctly and my mesh didn’t have enough topology. I subdivided my mesh and took it into 5.4 and the mesh clips correctly.

Hey Greg, do you mind if I ask where you got access to Mutable for UE5? I found a tweet from 2021 saying it was almost ready, but can’t find any information on the new version.

It’s packaged in the engine in Plugins/Experimental/Mutable
