Meshes/Textures moving and warping

[FXTR4]

I put some trees into my project that I mitigated from the Kite Demo, but the trees warp, move, change size and disappear in game, making them unusable, even some of the stock UT meshes disappear from a certain angle or distance. I'm guessing there must be a setting I can change within the mesh to stop this?

Its called LOD "Level of Detail" https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest...ODs/index.html

Thanks for the reply.

I think there must be something up with either my editor of computer. I can now no longer render grass, not unless I'm right up on it and slightly under it. I've never had this problem before, even the grass on the example map doesn't show. I kinda wish I hadn't chosen the terrain rout for my new map :/

use the LOD view in the view settings, you will pretty quickly see whether it is the lods doing it...In the latest map i made i forced the lods to 1 on the offending meshes to fix the issue...also with kite demo assets it will look far worse in a smaller area as the lods are designed for a greater distance

Thanks, I will give that a try!

I have no idea, but best I can tell from your video I would assume its something going wrong with the animation. These trees have an animation to make them appear to blow in the breeze right? looks like its the animation going insane, maybe have a look into the matinee? just spitballing.

I can't find any matinee associated with it (THEM)

Try placing a wind actor in the level. It could be that the leaves have a node that reacts to wind. Not 100% sure if that will work but its worth a shot.

OK thanks, I will give that a shot

Any luck with this?

I haven't had the change to try it yet. Life has been getting in the way :/ And by life I mean work. Grrrr.

Any luck with this?

You are awesome!

The wind actor did indeed fix the problem! Thanks man!

OK, not totally resolved, it only worked on one of the tree meshes, the rest are still all funky.

Well that's a start I'll keep an eye out for a solution on this.
