I updated to 5.5 to try the improved orthographic camera, I used a light function material on my directorial light to simulate cloud shadows, I can see the shadows working in the editor, but not in game @Jon.Cain
Hi,
Sorry, still not getting these notifications! Can you please share with me the light function/the setup to reproduce the error? I’ll try and figure this out for the next hotfix.
Thanks,
Jon
Hi Jon,
Trying to use the @Jon.Cain but doesn’t seem to work.
I created another post about this with some more details. Let me know if I can help you troubleshoot it somehow.

Any update on this? The light function in the directional light for simulating cloud shadow can not be seen when in Orthographic View.
Tested with UE 5.4.4
Starter content top down.
Set camera to orthographic
Add a simple noise based light function material to the directional light.
Expected behavior: noise pattern present on landscape / meshes
Actual behavior: Light function does not render
