[Feature Request] Per-component FOV and render layers

[Ryan Darcey]

Any update as to whether this might be something we get in UE4? Would be amazing!

Hi rcdarcey,

Unfortunately both feature requests are currently backlogged as our resources are dedicated elsewhere at present. I don't have a timeframe of when they will be addressed.

Is there any update on this? It's a pretty basic feature for UE4 to still be missing after 2 years, considering it was in UE3 and is standard in most other engines.

The technique Unreal Tournament is using to get around 1P mesh clipping (i.e. making the 1P mesh tiny) is horribly hacky, and demonstrates the lack of any 'real' solution to this problem. UT3 used render layers for the same issue.

You can already have custom mesh fov via world displacement in the material.. isn't there already a function for this? not sure but it should be totally possible

Render layers sounds awesome but it might be too expensive.

No updates about this well...

Backlogged since more than 2 years ago and counting...

Please Epic add this... I really need the different FOV for the viewmodel

I'd love to have those features implemented.

Anything new regarding this feature? It's probably one of the oldest feature which ever existed in the game industry, so I'm surprised this hasn't been implemented in the first place.

[BenYohanan]

I would also really like to see this feature.

Pretty sure it's this: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest...iniProjection/

^^ that seems to refer to something different

curious about this 4.9 change as well

The panini projection was added in 4.9. The text at the bottom of the page says "Another way to use the panini projection is through a Material function outputing a world position offset to be pluged-in into the material's world position offset input pin. This actually what Unreal Tournament uses instead of rendering the weapon at a different FOV to fix the perspective projection distortions. You may want to have a look at it in the UT's github repository."

So... Anyone tried?
