Your Triplanar is wrong. Here's how to make one that works. [UE5] 

9:43 This is what real programming looks like 😆 Man I love watching people put in the effort to do stuff the *right* way!

Damn! You must be the best shader programmer working in Unreal Engine right now! Well done sir!

Absolutely top-tier breakdown and explanation. Appreciate the time it took to not only figure out the penta and enna-planar techniques, but also the time to break it all down and show it.

Lol me sitting here doing the vector finger pointing bit, only to look back at my screen to see footage of you doing the same 😂 Thanks for adding that note-it helped me feel better abt not *just* knowing the math.

Ennplanar projection - Mind Blown

Best in depth explaination of tri planar and even beyond. I do not comment very often on youtube videos but this one is extremly well done.

SUBSCRIBED!!! The combination of humor and teaching amazing stuuf is amazing Thank you for your work.

Fantastic Video ! It would be great if you could bring up the "seamless_scale" topic, which was created to bypass texture stretching issues on tessellation(or WPO) displacement surfaces. This has been implemented in the Valve 'Source' Engine since 2007, but in the Unreal Engine there is still no way to cope with texture stretching at high World Position Offset values. I think you are the right person to handle such a complex problem.

Amazing video as always! Good to see I'm not the only one that looks like that when trying to figure out vector math transformations.

I really appreciate you posting these videos. There are so many small and big things that one can learn and apply, not only in the context of the video but also in other areas. This was incredibly helpful and informative, just like all your videos always are! The normal axis finger pointing thing, lol!

Absolutely love this in-depth tutorial, thank you mate!

Quite a coincidence, I was actually talking about triplanar in a meeting yesterday :D Greate video as usual :) Can't wait for part two!

Thank you so much for this! Everything looks so much better now. I can't believe I didn't realize how wrong it was before, I had an inkling but it seems like night and day now. Your knowledge, intelligence and generosity is very much admired and appreciated! Bravo!

Fantastic in depth explanation. I always learn a lot with your videos. Thanks, mate!

Incredible, I can't wait for the follow up video

Amazing visualisations!

Terrific video, and I especially applaud you for showing the setbacks and the debugging process. Software development is almost never monotonically forward. :)

You, sir, are a sage and a saviour. Thank you very much!

Dude you are amazing, youve done so many people such a huge favor and are changing the indie game dev community!

Just discovered your channel, omg man you're godsent! You're an amazing teacher, thanks a lot!

been working on a scene that's heavily dependent on triplanar, this is great!

Great breakdown!

Amazing content, thanks !

You are amazing, this helped me out so much you have no idea!!! Amazing content!!!

I wrote a quaternion based normal baker to just avoid the whole conversion step at the cost of needing to use rgba in the "normal" map Was a fun exercise in learning quaternion math to replace matrix transofrmations Cool to see the mat solution!

Thank you! I like to learn from you!

Out of all the videos I’ve watched on triplanar mapping, this is the best tutorial. I am eagerly awaiting Part 2 on the assets pipeline. Could you please let me know when you will release the video on that?

Yeah the fact everyone gets it working in crazy

Doing gods work

good explanation

Hey awesome video, at 9:00 minutes though, how did you get the "world X Axis" and "World Y Axis" - I keep looking for them, but I can't seem to find it when creating nodes :(

great video as ever, your the triplanar king! Looking forward to your video on Triplanar for assets as thats what i use it for the most. What annoys me the most is how the built in world space mapper from Epic is so flawed.. even the way it mixes the channels togther it ludicrously broken..

I remember struggeling so much a couple years ago with getting a triplanar brick texture with normalmap to look correctly. i never got it quite right. finally i understand why.

man i hope sequel comes soon, im starting to work on asset stuff this week

Ben Golus wrote a solid article about it

Nice video! Your weights caculcation is way too complicated, just do contrast( abs( normals )), either smooth or straight contrast will do (demo is on shadertoy). Glad to see I'm not the only one suffering on the TBN Matrix. You can use a dithering to make the non blending transitions way smoother especally with TAA, which most have enabled anyway.

Thank you for your video, excellent explanation, I have a question about the Anisotropy (brushed metal) , it seems it is almost the same problem as the normal? how can we calculate the anisotropy in tri-planar? , wish you beautiful success with your chanell

Thank you. How performant is this (the extra instructions if we put your MF in many of our Mats)? Im already doing 3 layer Vertex Paint + Triplanar. So I think Id need your MF on every (3) Texture layer that blends in [the code of] each Material.

thank you very much, warlock! 15:10 - apparently I didn't understand something. why can't you use swizzle? there is 'swizzle' node in materials. you can also change the order of channels through the 'break float' or 'split components' and 'make float' nodes :) yeah, it's not a one node and no so minimal and concise like a custom expression, but 'make float' will reduce some your 'append' blocks :)

15:05 - So Sine in UE is not the same as Sine HLSL or Cosine reversed (1-) both of which are the same, which makes me Ask rather than question since I have forgotten the period value fix part... if the material is right & wouldn't a Cosine reversed (1-) be better here?

Can you design a version where all 6 poles of the sphere will have an octagon instead of just 2?

Can this work with parallax occlusion mapping? I've done one before but it required 6 samplers. :\

Any ETA on how to use this with Models and not Landscape?

Ben Cloward explained this theme 3 years ago.. The great problem is when you´re using this triplanar projection in a model with animation and you must preskinned position to maintain the projection material in the right position.. I can´t explain more by here writting you but when you try apply this projection and you must correct after the texture the direction of the normals with preskinned materials and not with vertex normal ws then you´ll discover all the problems (not is valid work with vertex interpolator node) . Try this challenge dear guy and youll discover the problems when you´re working them).. THIS IS THE REAL CHALLENGE GUY.. Have you a technical solutions to this problem?.. I respect you but I would like watch you explaining solutions to other level. I follow during lot years I know that you´re a great profesional with a level similar to render bucket channel (with awesome contents). Answer me if you consider this hard question interesting.. (I must apologize you because not writte english right.) Thank´s you guy for your contents..

9:30 ... Why is it so familiar?

But wait, is there a sharp transition between projections or not?

I dont get it. We can constantly see enormous stretching at the bottom of the sphere. How come you avoid adressing this?

UE has a hidden node called PerturbNormals. Could just use that at the end to convert a simple height map to normals instead of dealing with broken normals

How is that possible? Because people regurgitate the same tutorials xD You'll start to see your method leeched too :P
