Cloud shadows not working with metahuman hair/groom

Hey,

I’m having a little trouble with metahuman hair in UE 4.26 not rendering correctly under Volumetric Cloud shadows. The screenshots that I’ve attached illustrate my problem a lot more, but from what I’ve pinned it down to is that the hair does not react to cloud shadows at all. As seen when the clouds are turned on, the hair is still lit as though the clouds are turned off or is recieving direct sunlight.

Clouds Off:

Clouds On:

I’ve tried looking through all the shadow settings for the hair, directional light and volumetric cloud actor and havent been able to find a solution hence im here. I realise metahuman is still early days and this is probs more of an issue with groom, but im just wondering if there’s a hidden setting somewhere that I’ve missed? or if this is a bug with groom right now?

Anyhow, if anyone has any suggestions or solutions im all ears…

Thanks! :slight_smile:
