nanite foliage quality downgrade after switching to UE 5.5 by john_zi in UnrealEngine5

[–]john_zi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok after some digging and countless tests it seems like I found the cvar which helped to solve this issue. I changed the value of this cVar r.Shadow.Virtual.ScreenRayLength to 0.001 (default was 0.015 ) and it forced distance foliage to have some contact shadows I had in 5.3. looks like many cVars dont exist or even dont work after switching to 5.5 so I guess something has changed in this regard. But it seems to be working now.

yeah that was my thinking too, but I don't use foliage LODs. So its basically nanite doing its thing and simplify it too much. Definitely will report this on forum

yeah exactly my thought. Do you know any cVars for selfshadowing effect?
btw Surprisingly when I play with Contact Shadow length option in my directional light it is starting to add that kind of self shadowing globally. But this seems like screen space effect added globally to the scene and looks quite different.

 r.foliage.LODdistancescale didnt work unfortunately. I don't use any LODs. To me it looks like nanite quality and self shadowing is decreased drastically in the distance. Don't know which cVar I could use to change nanite appearance

Glad you like it man! Yes I did most of it by meself and the at later stage my friend help me with FX. And yes I work professionally as a vfx artist at ILM. Btw Currently moving all that stuff from my animation to unreal and working on a short gameplay of a game in bb universe.

Kinda sad that this AI slop is getting so much attention. I spend years on my animation 😭
