Material Parameter in Static Switch Branch of True Controlled by Quality Switch Not Showing Up in Material Instance Panel
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Jan 23, 2025In material editor, if a quality switch node is used together with a static switch to control branch, material parameters in the 'true' branch will never show up in the Detail panel of material inst ...
Params in material instance disappear when grouping is changed in material with a material layer
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Jan 11, 2025If there is a texture parameter within a specific material attribute stream in the base material and also within the base material layer, they must have the same parameter group otherwise the parame ...
Duplicated TextureLoadVirtualPageTable in GetCustomData functions in generated HLSL add to the total instruction count due to TextureLoad having side effects
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Dec 4, 2024When using materials with CustomData inputs, such as the Eye material with Iris Distance and Mask, Virtual Texture samples will increase the instruction count for each unique VTPageResult. Each cus ...
Bindless Virtual Textures are sampled with non-virtual samplers
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Nov 28, 2024Texture Collections can contain virtual textures. There is no way to inform TextureObjectFromCollection that the texture is virtual, only that it is a Texture2D. This texture object is then sampled ...
Updating Material does not update platform stats in derived Instance
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Nov 26, 2024It would seem that updating a material does not update the associated platform stats in a material instance editor, only the parameters. Can workaround by manually invoking shader compile in the ma ...
Invalid PropertyConnectedMask in layered material instance when base material doesn't use material attributes
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Nov 20, 2024When UMaterialInstanceConstant::UpdateCachedData() updates CachedExpressionData.PropertyConnectedMask for material instances with layers incorrectly, it can lead to various graphical issues includin ...
'prefix parameter names' checkbox in a material function's settings does nothing.
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Nov 14, 2024Prefix Parameter Names checkbox does not work as expected, and the Group names are unmodified. The value "UMaterialFunction::bPrefixParameterNames" does not appear to be used anywhere in the Engine ...
Material attribute layers issue with texture sample and VT lookups
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Nov 14, 2024When using material attribute layers in a material layer setup, there is a potential discrepancy in the number of VT Lookups presented in the material instance's Platform Stats. When the same textur ...
Null Material Layers in Material Instances cause Opacity Mask and WPO to break on Nanite Meshes
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Oct 31, 2024When a Material Instance is loaded that has a nullptr layer in StaticParametrs.Materiallayers. The Material Instance will create it's own CachedExpressionData but the ConnectedParameterMask will be ...
Calling GetMaterial during compile on load can cause the material shader to fail to compile
UE - Rendering Architecture - Materials - Oct 4, 2024Calling UStaticMeshComponent::GetMaterial() during a Blueprint compile on load can cause the Material shader to fail to compile because GetMaterial will trigger a PostLoad call on that Material and ...
