Get Landscape height in material applied to a static mesh

[Deathrey (DeathreyCG)]

@mgKelley

Really appreciate all the feedback and discussion on alternative techniques.
The problem I have now is that collision simulating this mesh shape is invalidated by this material.
My first thought is to wrap these assets in a blueprint and calculate collision on creation.
Not sure I can do this in a blueprint, if so I have 2 initial ideas.

1. Use several collision shapes authored and provided in the FBX, each could be dynamically placed on terrain to roughly simulate the distorted shape.
2. Use a copy of the distorted mesh per-instance as ‘Complex To Simple’ collision.

Anyone see a problem with these ideas or have a better solution the Unreal Engine can provide ?

Thanks.

I’d probably just author rock collision mesh with due allowance for vertex movement.
