Hello Everyone! I’m new to UE4, but not new to the game engine industry. I’m experiencing some weird results with artifacts in reflective materials.
See that suspicious black ring towards the bottom? I’m completely perplexed on this one. This is a simple material with just a base color, metallic = 1, and a low roughness.
In another example, here is a door looking out. (Yes, this comes from the youtube video series, great tutorials btw)
Just to be clear, it does not always do this, at other angles the “reflection” (I’m aware that it is faked, and not a true reflection) turns out fine.
Thanks in advance for helping, and sorry if this is super obvious or something. I’m thinking it probably has something to do with my machine?? In the above mentioned youtube series his machine didn’t appear to make these artifacts. Thanks again for your help, so far I’m loving UE4!!
Also, dxdiag: I cut out a lot of stuff. Thanks again!
