Hey Guys..
I just ran into an issue that made me think.. and i hope some of you can help me understand.. I'm doing a project in ue and the client wanted some crowd in the bground.. so i thought.. lets use that matrix crowd sample to do that.. and it worked great.. only thing is.. the characters were being rendered with a bad splotch on the clothes..so after fiddling around..i noted that in the project settings i had virtual shadows maps on and ALSO raytraced shaodws... when i turned of raytraced shadows.. the splotches were gone.. but i lost shadows on a mapped plane with a video and some bground buildings..
so my question.. (and please me to explain like i am layman :)) when exactly to use over another and how to have BOTH systems on and keep my shadows on mapped planes with alpha?
Virtual shadow maps have a lot of issues in UE5 , fixed in UE5.1 as I know (most users I know turned it off), turn it off ... it is a mess , all textures have a VT sign now , you have to right click on the texture and switch it back to normal textures. I am not at the PC right now but I guess you can select all textures and convert it back.

Are you saying that all LOADED textures get converted to Virtual textures once I activate virtual shadows maps? because its not happening like that for me.. all textures stay as they are..unless u mean new textures get converted?

Mr Dee (11/7/2022)
Just watched this session from Unreal Fest. Ozone Rig Studio has realtime SubDivision in Unreal Engine. Hopefully this will be natively embedded in UE. https://youtu.be/pNjiiIuJMqc These deformers are absolutely awesome 👍

Really cool - although I can't see the difference having that much of an impact, this is the type of thing I love!
