Next Level Triplanar Mapping: Assets, Skeletals and Dithered [UE5] 

Awesome - to prevent the "blurriness" at the blends of a single-sample dithered triplanar uv set, make sure the sampler it's plugged into has its DDX and DDYs manually set - if you set them both to "1" you'll get a crisp, non-blurry blend. :)

I thought about how to implement this for more than two weeks, or rather there were a lot of problems, but in short, I cry when I watch this video, I can move on, thank you, lol...

I can't thank you enough man, hope your channel grows more, appreciate your dedication!

Thanks for another amazing video! Your videos helped me a lot when I create my own world align material with 6 axis and 2 samplers (one sampler for world x,y,z and one sampler for a "45 degree world projection", then blend between them at the edges). It finally got rid of all the annyoing stretch artifacts I had with my existing world align materials.

I was literally thinking about this yesterday. And today RU-vid recommended this video to me. Thanks a lot! Now I can use triplanar for animated objects.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing, this is so useful!

Ur channel is golden!

Amazing thank you!

OH MY GOD IT'S HERE!

Oh neat I'm in this one :)

I feel a bit foolish for not realizing I could have used dithering to blend the UV like this. I often used dithering while working on VR titles because using translucent materials has significantly impact performance especially in VR.

Nice work as ever.. Out of interest for skinned meshes that are triplanar, what state of the model is it applying that mapping to.. Its bind pose? As this would differ greatly from its first frame of the anim.. And also might not work with Alembic geo caches as they dont really have a bind pose just a wierd array of point cloud data stored when no animation / blend shape is being applied?

First off, this is just brilliant! Secondly, I'm struggling to figure out how to make the Texture(T2d) input accept a texture parameter and not just a texture object. So I can change the texture in the material instance. Am I overlooking something obvious or how do I fix this?

Hmm.. In my testing your method for WA textures on Skeletal Meshes still gives artifacts on the X and Z plane (only on the exact plane, when previewing on a cube). It happens both with your 'Normalize' method before the transform and with the original. What gives? You have the same?

Does this three plane material function not support the substrate new material system? What does the missing link mean when reporting an error

Is this skeletal mesh triplanar optimized enough for games?

Have you tested this inside Packed Level Actors? Something tells me it will break. Because PLA has different local pivot position and scale and all the transformations will be broken.

This three plane material function has been updated, and the texture can be fixed on the object. How to link nodes? The original method seems to be ineffective...

Very impressive series! I am experimenting with triplanar projection for dirt layer in layered material for destructible mesh. After fracture dirt layer starts to "sliding" along pieces. It is even possible? I think it is because each piece is kind of instance of original object and engine is trying to reproject texture for every piece. Thank you!

how many days? or weeks?

Thanks! That probably the most complete tuto/explanations on triplanar I saw and I will definitively borrow some ideas and methods for my own shaders. An interesting thing that would have been nice to talk about is the cost in performance compared to other approaches. I will try by my self to see if it can be, in addition to be more accurate, also less instruction intensive than the shader I currently use (wish is quite demanding, especially as I use layered materials...). For example, that guy propose a way to reduce the sample count: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dFApswlwsRc.htmlsi=Vsmh4ioF9JTo8qOg Maybe it would be interesting to do researches and talk about triplanar shader optimization in a next video?
