Having issues with fresnel/skeletal mesh
null
Hey, I've had an issue come up with a fresnel material not functioning correctly on a rigged skeletal mesh, despite it working fine on a static mesh and I cannot find any solution or situation posted like it online so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help figure out what's wrong.

The topmost row of vertices of the water are rigged to a separate bone to the rest of the water, though I don't know if that's relevant as the water in the tanks on the back are rigged in the same manner and don't have this issue: http://puu.sh/vbgO7/4a1f4a3985.jpg
I'm using Unreal 4.13

On a side note, using Frensel on a transparent object with 2-sided will NOT affect the back faces. They will be as bright as the glancing angles. You need to turn off transparent or 2-sided. Instead, model anything that is transparent with thickness. The helmet for example should have thickness. This is the correct way for geometry to render transparent with fresnel effects.
