[SM5] Error X4532 with POM Material

Development Rendering

@Ryan> Done some digging around on the CryEngine forums:

Silhouette POM is actually what they call PADM.
Bit confusing but at least we got that one clear now (doh!)

Known issues:

  1. Indeed a requirement to have it work properly on hard edges is to chamfer them a bit.
  2. It’s the most expensive form of all POM’s but still cheaper than tesselation
  3. Can have issues with UV’s & Artifacts and will thus require more tweaking for optimal results

Link to rather limited example:
