Tessellation not working in 3.06?

Mr-Brett · Mar 2019

I've searched and found nothing so it's possible this is only affecting me or I'm being dumb and missing something.

So the issue is pretty much in the title, I create a material, apply it to a mesh, turn on tessellation and... nothing. Both 'flat' and 'pn triangles' have no affect.

I have used this feature before and it's not particularly complicated to use so I don't think I'm missing anything but it seem strange that if this is an issue that nobody else seems to be having it.

Now it appears to be working, I cannot explain it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you have Speedy Mode on in the viewport, (the little rocket ship icon will be green), various expensive rendering effects like tessellation will be disabled.

Thanks Earthquake, I missed your reply and just realized that this was what happened and came to post it

I did not realize that speedy would affect material settings, I thought it was limited to render settings, hence overlooking it.
