Distance Field AO completely black under landscape - 4.7.2

Hey,

I noticed this in one of our caves underground: http://grab.by/FlSC

It’s from the DFAO and it only appears in that corner. When I toggle off the landscape, the issue goes away.

Hi ,

DFAO currently does not work with landscapes. It is expected to be experimentally implemented in 4.8.

Hey , do you know the state of DFAO with landscapes? In 4.11 preview 1, it still looks like DFAO doesn’t take into account masked landscapes with holes. Everything under the hole is occluded completely, creating an obvious line where the landscape is masked.

Unfortunately at present I do not have any additional information available as most of Epic is on holiday break.

So… when will additional information be available? I don’t think the whole Epic team is still in vacation

Hi ,

In general, the best place to find updates on what will be present in new releases is the [Announcements and Releases][1] section of the forums. We post updates to both release and preview builds regularly.

3 years later, still not fixed. Still can’t use DFAO under landscape
