Hello
both the current and the previous versions on UE5 InstaLOD plugins provide wrong results for skeletal meshes, thus the animations are very distorted in an unusable way:
Remesh does the job if “Fuzzy Face Count Target” is set to Highest, but when the material has Opacity Mask, its texture conversion is bad, the mask texture quality results in no masked out pixels:
I would be happy if Material Merge would not do any mesh processing.
As a comparison, with the built-in UE5 or with Simplygons mesh reduction, the resulting LODs are fine for the same skeletal mesh.
I think that might be a recent regression as many studios use InstaLOD for characters. UE often changes APIs so it’s tricky to catch up quickly for the team.
I’ll report this internally as a critical issue, thanks for bringing it up!
Hi,
is there an ETA for this fix?
it would be really important for me.
(moreover, I have some material conversion issues too, what I could report when I can be back to characters processing…)
thanks
I am pleased to report that the weight issue will be fixed in the upcoming update to InstaLOD for Unreal Engine. We are continuing to investigate the opacity issue when performing a remesh operation. As a workaround, increasing the Alpha Mask Threshold should improve the masked areas.
Please feel free to report any material conversion issues you are experiencing here on the community website.
