Re: Smooth foliage like in Breath of the Wild / Europa by Helder Pinto - Mini tutorial
You could use a particle for that. It would be way more efficient. Or a shader that turns them towards the camera. Its possible even with multiple planes treated as one mesh. There are a few tutorials for that on the internet. But I'm not sure why would anyone want camerafacing planes in 2020 especially for expensive.… -

Great write up, awesome tutorial thanks for posting! One other thing that helps too is baking in some AO into the vertex colors and pump that into the Ambient Occlusion in unreal. This really helps the model self shadow and it can be almost impossible to do AO the standard route with texture map when so many separate leaf… -

Obscura, One remaining issue is with scale variation the dot can't be centered on all instances anymore. But that has very good potential and already a good start for me to play around and improve the foliage lighting with this. Many thanks -
