In your MeshPartitionDefinition data asset assigned to your MeshPartition actor, do you have a FarField transformer set up?
Hi, I’m running into the same issue. I do have a FarField transformer in my transformer pipeline. Should it be at any specific index, or before/after any other transformers? Are there any other requirements for the FarField transformer to work? (I assume it generates the SDF)
Update: When I open the mesh assigned to the respective compiler section in the static mesh preview, I can see that it has no distance field (visualize distance field shows nothing). Manually generating the distance field from build settings seems to fix the issue for that, but only for that section and that build, so it’s hardly a workaround.
