Ty Sam! It’s been 3 days, still haven’t found a turnaround for DDX and DDY, but oh well!
Hey ,
I have spoken with the developers and currently, there aren’t any plans to support ‘flat’ normals for landscape. However, there is an extension for it but that means that only some hardware/API has the feature and we really can’t rely on it.
This may be of use to you, but it also may not be: https://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/extensions/OES/OES_standard_derivatives.txt
With that being said, I’ve entered a report for our developers since it sounds like this is the first time they’ve realized it’s been asked. If you need to reference this report in the future, please refer to: UE-14083
Cheers!
I see, thanks Sam, I’ll then try to create a simple tile normal map to emulate it then. I was trying to use VertexnormalsWS and splitting the components so I could the exact normal values to then use as a normal. but no success either that way (unless I’m missing something)
Just one last thing, how do I refer to that ticket?
Hey ,
If you ever want to check the progress of a ticket, feel free to update this ticket. Keep in mind that it does take a little while for tickets to be reviewed, sent to the developer and then worked on.
Cheers!
