Hi all,

I have a problem similar the one described in this post:

> When I pain my landscape the paint brush only paints rectangles. I’ve never experienced this before. In my older project or youtube tutorials I can see everything works well. I do the same steps as in youtube but still getting this weird effect. It’s very square’ish: My setup is as follows: Standard Landscape Material I have two layers. Only pait sand on the Sand layer and SandRoad on SandRoads layer: [image] I gave 0.2 on alpha for the Sand layer as the sand road was v…

But there is no working solution, so I created this post. I also can narrow down the problem further.

All landscape paint brushes paint these rectangles (in the size of the grid) on all levels in _all projects_ of my installation. One project has multiple landscapes and it affects all landscapes in this project. It also affects other projects, which worked fine some days ago. It also affects every layer I paint, even the other brushes (smooth, flatten, noise) seem to have this effect when painting.

So I guess it’s a system- or engine-wide problem. I am not aware of changing settings anywhere.

I recompiled the lighting and landscape, checked resolution and material settings, but found no clues.

Has anyone an idea where to look?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards
