Hello. I have a problem with level loading speed. With first start it require a lot of time even for small level like this: [image] I think it’s because my parent material and 4k textures (9 for every material). I tried to optimize it by deleting ParallaxOcclusionMapping node and it become much m…

[image] Texn0krat: Will it affect on loading speed, or ue will still load 2k texture and compress it in runtime? Like ClockworkOcean says, setting the LODBias or MaxTexture Size won’t affect the texture on disk - but it does when you package it - it will be packaged at the lowest resolution t…

Much easier to optimize your textures with a specific tool. Like [image] rdTexTools in - UE Marketplace A UE Plugin providing tools for optimizing textures To be sure textures are causing the problem, make a copy of the level, and change the material on eve…

Seems like no: [image] It’s unavailable in my country. Is there a free solution?

Are you logged in? There’s no easy / good free solution. It’s a lot of work.

Yes, I just from Russia, so… you know. I have prices, but still can’t buy anything. “This product is unavailable in your region…” or something like that.

Ah… Can’t help with that, I’m afraid… Try the material test first, to be sure. Yes, you can do it in Photoshop/Gimp, but I think you’ll be to quit after a couple of days :slight_smile:

No, you’re wrong. 2 hours is enough for me with GIMP. It’s just… awful. Can I, at least, change texture resolution in editor? I mean without GIMP/Photoshop.

Nope, that’s the problem. You might be able to find a plugin on github, compile it and install it, but…

Hm, I found LOD Bias setting, when I changed it from 0 to 1 I’ve got that: [image] Will it affect on loading speed, or ue will still load 2k texture and compress it in runtime?

As always, try it. But the LOD setting still leaves the large texture on disk ( so it will be in the install ). Yes, the level only has to load 1 or 2k instead of 4, but you can’t beat actually editing the texture, especially for packaging. All the textures are precompressed into different LODs whe…

Thank you for details and offer. For that moment it doesn’t matter for me, how much space is required on disk - I’m ready to spend a lot of time on optimization after finishing the main job. After I changed LODBias on textures I don’t see blank materials on meshes anymore. So, I think it’s a good an…
