Technical breakdown of the setup and used features in Stack-O-Bot. I will update this from time to time going through all the systems implemented in the sample project you can download from the Marketplace.

Thanks for the breakdown. I don’t know if this was an issue before UE5.2 preview, but when open the project, it pop out warning to enable SM6 for nanite and virtual shadow, and I did, but it displays weird lines noise in the landscape material , any idea what it can be? Thanks in advanced

Same shadow artifact issue here. I tried updating my graphics drivers and packaging the project. The packaged project has the same issue. I’m using the full release of 5.2. Additionally, I created the project in 5.0 and the issue is not present.

In 5.2 this is my Output log:

LogD3D12RHI: Warning: Waited for PSO creation for 100.000000ms
LogWorld: Warning: UWorld::CleanupWorld called twice or called without InitWorld called first.

MapCheck: Warning: RuntimeVirtualTextureVolume_UAID_A85E45CFE404BEDA00_1250328472 The settings have changed since the streaming texture was last rebuilt. Streaming mips are disabled.

I get the same log in 5.0 when I build all levels, but without the shadow artifacts.
I checked the render settings and there’s some new options about translucent shadowing, but it seems correct to me. that may need a deeper dive. I suspect it’s something to do with virtual textures, but IDK much about them.
