The Sample Static Mesh module is not present in my Niagara system. I thought it might have been replaced by another module in UE5.3, but after searching, it doesn’t seem to have been replaced.
I wanted to sample the color values from the material that is set by default on the static mesh. However, in the Static Mesh Location module that I could find, I was unable to sample vertex colors, and I couldn’t find any related output data.
Static Mesh Location by default samples the mesh’s triangles. However, you’re trying to sample vertex colors, which is saved in a mesh’s vertex information. If you change your mesh sampling type to vertices, the module should now be writing the value you need.
