    Clarification: Trim relative Error acts as "mesh resolution" so the lower the value the more resolution you get. I did 0.01 just to test things and got a 16million polygon plane, so be careful, I am not responsible for any fires your machine may cause if you go too low.

    I did few tests and you can do this whole process inside UE5: Make a copy of the texture ending in "ORDp" and extract the blue Displacement channel by going to edit -> Source Color Settings -> Color Space as "custom" and set blue and white to something like 0 to 256 and you are done. Now The texture uses only the blue channel. Use this texture as a displacement for Nanite. No need for separate downloads from Quixel. Seems to work fine...

      I just checked it out, and for some reason, this method doesn't work for me. It shows a wrong displacement distribution, whereas the method in the video worked perfectly. However, good to know nevertheless.

    Still not working in the material graph though, so it would be impossible to blend materials and the displacement with them on a single mesh. Seems to me pretty much the same as doing it with modeling tools. Not much of a big deal imo

    I've noticed that meshes displaced with this method are not recognizable by Lumen -- and hence they are excluded from GI and Reflection calculations. You can easily verify that with Lumen Visualization Mode (where only random triangles are being visible in debug viewports). Also exporting those meshes out of UE5 to FBX format produces a similar result to what we can observe in Lumen debug view modes. I really hope that this issue will be address in the upcoming patches.

    A few things
    This process is similar and still possible in UE 5.1. But it's not baked into the details and has to be done via modeling tools. You have to enable geometry script plugins I think though. Bridge AND mixer will let you download standalone displacement maps -- but yea mixer is still not natively incorporated into UE. The big question is, will we be able to do true landscape displacement?

      At some point yes, there is currently a (very) experimental feature for Nanite runtime tessellation, if you are feeling adventurous on the master branch (r.Nanite.Tessellation and r.Nanite.AllowTessellation), and the goal is to be able to use Nanite Landscapes with runtime tessellation in the future.

    This is awesome, this update seemed to go under the radar, it seems odd that you can't just do it in the material editor but I guess that because it has to create the geometry.

      Any mesh will do, however displacement has always had to do with the UVs so watch the seams.

    • @benblaumentalism6245
      @benblaumentalism6245 ปีที่แล้ว

      I usually use a cube that is scaled to whatever the texture scale is. Most “Highest Quality” Megascans surfaces are 200X200 or 100X100. So my cube is usually either 200^3 or 100^3. I then scale the X value by looking up the actual dimensions of the real thing, such as specific brick types, wall thicknesses, etc. I let it create the mesh, then I turn on Nanite. The resulting mesh is usually then used as a building block in the scene. My struggle at the moment (though I plan to figure this out) is that I like to make my materials use tri-planar (world-aligned) textures. Prior to displacement, this has the value of allowing you to freely scale the mesh, and the texture doesn’t stretch or squeeze. It keeps its true size despite how you scale the object, which is great for things like brick walls, gravel, etc. But displacement results in a new mesh where the texture size and mesh deformation end up being resized if you change the size of it, and it will no longer be world-aligned.

    Displacement is not back. You got too excited and wanted those clicks more than to provide accurate information.
    If it wasn't for all the monetization obsessed clickbait out there, I'd have probably published my own tesselation methods by now. But I know it's just going to get picked up and repurchased as clickbait advertised to do what it isn't meant to do, so I'd rather just wait and publish it on my own time. Because if 5 people got an honest representation of its uses, it'd be more constructive than these kinds of rush for attention videos.
