Description

Tested in //UE4/Release-4.27 CL#18319896

Ray Traced Translucency causes artifacts when rotating a Static Mesh in the 'Open World' level when moved far away from the center of the map. The Artifacts begins to appear roughly at the edge of the last World Partition Cells once the mesh is rotated.

    2. In the Material Graph:
      1. Create a Constant Vector 4 (4+Left Click) then connect it to Base Color
      2. Create a Constant (1+Left Click) then connect it to Metallic, Specular, and Roughness
      3. Create a Constant (1+Left Click) set it to 0.5 then connect it to Opacity
      4. Create a Constant (1+Left Click) set it to 1.0 then connect it to Refraction
    3. Apply, save, and close the Material
  3. Add a Post Processing Volume to the level
    1. In the Post Processing Volume's Details panel: 
      1. Set Extent to Unbound
      2. Enable Translucency and set it to Ray Tracing
  4. Add a Cube to the Level
  5. Apply the M_Translucency material to the cube
  6. Set the Cubes Location on the X or Y axis to ~1,000,000.0
  7. Focus the Cube in the Viewport
