When adding a normal static mesh component the 1m walls line up perfectly
But instancing them shrinks them and adds small but very noticeable holes in the mesh that lets light though and give away the tiled walls
I’ve checked the turn based game from epic as well, and their meshes are also not lining up.
A bug?
Hi 16bit,
This seems to be a rounding issue with the way InstancedStaticMeshes are rendered. We’ve had one other report of it and I’m investigating it. We have a ticket UE-17458 to fix this issue.
Cheers
I’m having a related issue in UE4 4.22 with a simple instanced 2d tiling grid. If I rotate the instances, 90 degrees on the Z axis for example, it seems to cause a .0001 & shrinkage and you can see noticeable gaps in what should be a seamless tile. This issue does not occur when I use static meshes.
I looked up the bug report UE-17458 but it is marked as “Won’t Fix”. I will make a new report just in case. Also, notice there is a pull request that is supposed to fix it.
My messy workaround is to automatically add .0001 to the scale if the instance is rotated.
