Unreal Engine 4 virtual texturing support ?

I don’t get it. The roadmap at Trello says “enabling artists to author very high resolution textures and lightmaps”. The same statement is included in the preview notes https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre…e-4-21-preview

I understand it’s an experimental feature, but the way I understand it, it’s not just about lightmaps.

With regards to Virtual Texturing, it’s ONLY supported for Lightmaps in 4.21 and it’s super experimental! I wouldn’t try to use it in a production sense just yet. However, feel free to try it out.

By default, r.VirtualTexturing is on, but since it’s only hooked up for lightmaps you’ll also need to enable ** r.VirtualTexturedLightmaps 1**.

There are no plans for this to be documented outside of the release notes at this time. Once more features come online for Virtual Texturing, you can expect full documentation, which won’t be anytime before 4.22 at the earliest.
