As the title says, Volumetric Scattering Intensity on a SkyLight doesn’t work in Deferred Renderer mode. Even though I tunred on Indirect Lighting, and I can see it’s working, with cvar “r.HeterogeneousVolumes.IndirectLighting 1”, if I change it, it doesn’t do anything. It _does_ work with a Pathtracer.
Is this a bug?
Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out.
I’ve been assigned this issue, and we will be looking into this interaction between heterogeneous volumes and Sky Light Volumetric Scattering Intensity for you.
Can you please send us a minimal test project that demonstrates this, and include screenshots of the issue from the test project? Please also include the version of Unreal Engine you are experiencing this issue with.
The guide for test projects: [Content removed]
1. Load Content\volum_skylgt\L_test.umap
2. While in “Lit” mode change SkyLight Volumetric Scattering Intensity paramter to 1, then to 10, then to 100. Note that there is no change.
3. Switch to “Pathtracing” mode.
4. Change SkyLight Volumetric Scattering Intensity paramter to 1, then to 10, then to 100. Note that it works.
Hi Stephen - we’ve upload the sample project on Box here - Box | Login
