The documentation states that screen space effects like SSR and SSAO are “not yet” supported in the forward renderer. Are these on the roadmap for any particular version of UE4?
I’m also still waiting for SSAO support in the forward renderer…
Checking things out now, it looks like SSAO is now supported using the forward renderer on 4.21. SSR seems to still be disabled though.
SSAO is indeed supported in 4.21 with the forward renderer, but it’s important to note that’s only the case when using TAA - not when using MSAA, then SSAO is still unusable due to no blur pass being done on it and it relying on TAA for that.
Not sure if this is correct. I’ve got MSAA enabled and SSAO is also enabled and visible. Maybe it’s a second rendering setting I’m using that you’re not?
Its “visible”, yes. But its unusable due to the noise it has.
