Hi everyone, please refer to the attached images below regarding my following question:
Currently, I was experimenting with the idea that since the landscape VRT Height data can be used to make meshes conform to the landscape’s height, that this might be a good way to make larger scaled mesh clumps for things like grass and various ground cover that conform correctly when being placed on non-flat areas of landscape (like being spawned with PCG).
However, as you can see in the below images for the meshes and the test Material I made, the WPO slot does not seem to work well with Nanite meshes. The rocks and grass clump down at ground level have Nanite turned off and look fine (though this isn’t ideal based on their very high poly count if I try spreading several dozen of these around the landscape). The other mesh though, that I have raised up to view it better, has lots of missing triangles depending on how close and what angle the camera is to it. The grass clump for example if I turn Nanite back on, will just disappear all together when I’m within 5-7 meters of it.
I also figured out pretty quick that I can’t just use Nanite displacement either instead of WPO, because Nanite displacement is based on the mesh normals, and doesn’t seem to play well with doing an effect based more on the world normals (ie my mesh just exploded into triangles going off everywhere).
Not sure if there is a solution or work around for this issue, or if it is just a current limitation of the system, but any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
