A licensee has reported that the ZoomFactor variable inside of the DrawPoint function is being calculated incorrectly. It currently is calculated using the lesser of the projection matrix's horizontal or vertical scale. Later in the function when the point is being drawn, horizontal values are used in either case. This causes points to grow in size when the viewport is taller than it is wide.
This is where the ZoomFactor is calculated
Engine\Source\Runtime\Renderer\Private\DynamicPrimitiveDrawing.inl:
bool bIsPerspective = (ViewInfo->ViewMatrices.GetProjectionMatrix().M[3][3] < 1.0f) ? true : false;
if( !bIsPerspective )
{
const float ZoomFactor = FMath::Min<float>(View->ViewMatrices.GetProjectionMatrix().M[0][0], View->ViewMatrices.GetProjectionMatrix().M[1][1]);
ScaledPointSize = ScaledPointSize / ZoomFactor;
}
This is where the point is drawn:
Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\BatchedElements.cpp
// Generate vertices for the point such that the post-transform point size is constant. const uint32 ViewportMajorAxis = ViewportSizeX;//FMath::Max(ViewportSizeX, ViewportSizeY); const FVector WorldPointX = CameraX * Point.Size / ViewportMajorAxis * TransformedPosition.W; const FVector WorldPointY = CameraY * -Point.Size / ViewportMajorAxis * TransformedPosition.W;
The licensee proposes that this can be fixed by changing the following line:
const float ZoomFactor = FMath::Min<float>(View->ViewMatrices.ProjMatrix.M[0][0], View->ViewMatrices.ProjMatrix.M[1][1]);
to
const float ZoomFactor = View->ViewMatrices.ProjMatrix.M[0][0];
