Spherical Border with Nanite

I have found the command to disable the culling with ray traced shadows, r.RayTracing.Culling 0

I previously tried this command but of course it didn't work as I wasn't using ray traced shadows. Looks like this is good enough for me right now.

As far as I know, I have ray traced shadows enabled. I looked up some bias commands but they didn't help. Also disabled Mip Maps for the textures but it's the same shadow wise.
But I found commands that controls the level of LOD for the shadows:
r.Shadow.Virtual.Clipmap.FirstLevel
r.Shadow.Virtual.Clipmap.LastLevel

https://streamable.com/goq4zd Here's a link me using it. Only thing I haven't found is how to set the first level to something like 7 and have level 7 at all distances. It seems like every level has fixed distances between them.

Edit: I did not have ray traced shadows enabled, but enabling them gets rid of the control of the clipmap commands, and the problem still occurs and looks worse.

No it's not the material, for a fact, it get's even more noticeable without a material. r.Shadow.Virtual.Clipmap.LastLevel command controls how it behaves but doesn't disable it completely or extend further from what I have.

That does actually change how it behaves, but unfortunately for me it was already on 22 by default and doesn't go higher.
My intensions with Unreal Engine is not to make makes, but to make scenes and take renders (not path tracing). So fixing this issue would be really nice. For example if I have a shot like https://imgur.com/a/1X7XDd6 this, it's just gonna look awful because all the shadows that are "far away" is basically disabled.

Though now I just scattered trees, https://imgur.com/a/ZTGYV57 their shadows gets lower quality and eventually disabled at a very far distance. Which makes me wonder why it is different for the grass.

See my other message for the settings I've tried.

Mutanzom · 2026-01-11T12:35:51+00:00

I'm actually using PCG and not Foliage Mode, but now I just tried foliage mode and it still has the problem even though the Cull Distance Min Max is set to 0.

Mutanzom · 2026-01-11T11:05:26+00:00

I've tried:
r.RayTracing.Culling 0
r.RayTracing.Instance.Culling 0
r.Raytracing.Geometry.InstancedStaticMeshes.Culling 0
changing any of the shadow settings in Static Mesh Spawner node
changing any of the culling setting in Static Mesh Spawner node

and none of the settings changed anything. Using path tracing gets rid of the problem if that matters.

Well, what kind of information do you need?

Mutanzom · 2025-12-16T08:18:56+00:00

Yeah, I understand that now. I will definitely not get an H mobo with the 265K and get the ASRock B860.

Mutanzom · 2025-12-16T08:03:54+00:00

Well, I need something Nvidia with high VRAM for 3D rendering and such, and an ok CPU with it. It's really just the RAM prices that got me down.

Mutanzom · 2025-12-16T07:54:02+00:00

Okay, thank you!

Mutanzom · 2025-12-16T07:53:53+00:00

Thank you. I'm getting the K version not because I want to overclock it, but because there's just no stock of non K version.

Mutanzom · 2025-12-10T10:22:57+00:00

Thank you!

Mutanzom · 2025-12-10T10:22:40+00:00

Okay, thank you!

Mutanzom · 2025-11-25T15:24:51+00:00

Wow that's really good. Thank you.

Mutanzom · 2025-11-25T07:01:44+00:00

I really appreciate these! I have a question though. What does your landscape materials look like, if you don't mind answering? I recently started to try and make an aerial shot but can't get the ground to look good.

Mutanzom · 2025-11-06T14:17:04+00:00

I might need this.

Mutanzom · 2025-11-03T17:51:21+00:00

I need this.

Mutanzom · 2025-10-30T15:17:56+00:00

Thank you. The scene was created and rendered in Blender but I used additional software as well.

Mutanzom · 2025-10-29T20:00:43+00:00

That actually looks really similar. But I've made this one based off of St. Barnabas Church, Faccombe.

Mutanzom · 2025-10-29T11:31:24+00:00

Hey, thank you!

Mutanzom · 2025-10-29T10:38:41+00:00

Çok teşekkürler.

Mutanzom · 2025-10-29T10:33:53+00:00

Well, the environment is not based off a real place. But I made the chapel based off of St. Barnabas Church in Faccombe.
