How Do I Stop Unreal Engine From Changing Meshes/Materials at Distance For Cinematics

[ObjOri]

Greetings all,

I am creating a cinematic scene. The camera in this scene will dolly forward.

The problem:

As I dolly my camera forward, the flowers in my scene change.

Is there any way to stop this?

Post Recommendations I’ve Tried So Far:

1. Under “Details/Build Settings” for each flower mesh, I change Distance Field Resolution Scale to “0”.
2. Under “Details/Mesh” for each flower mesh, I changed Distance Field Resolution Scale to “0”

These changes did not work.

Any ideas?

VIDEO illustrating the problem!

Thank you so much.

Try the console commands

r.ForceLOD 0

or

foliage.ForceLOD 0

Thank you!

That worked!

But how do I turn it off? This is literally my first console command. I’m also curious about the tessellation commands. Why did I have to edit the .ini file and type them in to enable nanite instead of enabling in this, much easier, fashion via console?

[ClockworkOcean]

They’re not permanent. Gone after the next editor restart. It needs to be in an ini file to stay.

If you want to know more about console commands try

Last question(s), I promise.

So, I can set this permanently; I am assuming through the ini file as before with nanite tessellation?

If true, does it matter where in the ini I place the command?

[ClockworkOcean]

I don’t think it matters

Thank you so much for all of this.
