How extensive can UE4 Materials be?

Spiffy

At the moment I'm finishing up a a terrain material, this is the first time I've really used all of Unreals material features

Is this too extensive?, what kind of strain will it put on the engine?



It serves around 6 terrain variations, should I be splitting it up between multiple materials?

This seems overkill imo most terrains dont need specular/roughness. are you just doing tiling interpolations or something like that per layer?

I would worry more about the number of layers and make sure your terrain doesn't freak out there used to be a maximum.

You measure it not by a spaghetti length but the number of the calculations: please make a screenshot of the instructions (stats).

+ you could post material in full resolution

99 instructions / 4 texture calls is fine
