Unreal Engine 5.3 : How to get DISPLACEMENT to a Skeletal Mesh???

[@Trickschmiede]

Oops, i said something wrong in my video - you have to enable the "Skeletal Mesh Editing Tools" Plugin. I'm so sorry... Please forgive me! 🤣

Looks like it's still experimental. I tried to apply a displacement texture and the editor crashed. But look forward to this being stable in the future! Great video!

[@Trickschmiede]

Hi Dontstopbelievingman ;-) Yes, the editor crashes for me too sometimes. I think they'll significantly improve this in Unreal Engine 5.4. Otherwise, we'll just have to wait. Thanks for your comment and best regards, Danny.

What about POM( Parallax Occlsusion Mapping) in material..

Hi. Do you have experience with using the displacement node on static meshes? I have a problem that I'm stuck on for 3 days now. Whenever I have a seam on my static mesh, the displacement always causes open cracks. Like flipped normal or something. I tried everything, I always have problem on the UV seams and there is no way to stop it from cracking and making holes. Do you know any trick how to keep the UV seams and stop it from cracking? Thanks.

You need more geometry, a dense mesh

Hi kristianrabakov8579. To help me get a clear picture of the issue, please send me some Screenshots to [e-mail] and i will try to fix it ;-)

It is dense enough, I have over 100k polys for a wall@@lobos9182

Hi, great video! Here I'm struggling to find a way to do this with metahumans.... unfortunately I start to see the seams between the head and the body... would you have any idea?

[@Trickschmiede]

Hello lievenvanhove :-) Thank you for your praise of the video! The issue with seams between the head and body of Metahumans can indeed be frustrating. Unfortunately, I haven't tried anything with Metahumans yet, so I can't help you with that. I hope you've found a solution by now? Best regards, Danny

[@lievenvanhove]

@@Trickschmiede Hi Danny, yes, I think so... I'm trying now to do the displacement in other software, and afterward to use mesh morpher to add it again.

[@Trickschmiede]

I hope it works fine and gets you where you want to be 😉👍 Good luck

awesome trick :)

[@Trickschmiede]

Thank you for your feedback tomimartikainen6689 👋😉

Hi, thanks for this great tips, but at 2.33, after I hit accept to apply the displacement, the mesh explodes into a flickering mess of verts. I used the same settings as you, so i dont know why Edit: Ive found its cos my mesh had multiple UDIMs, it worked fine for single UDIM mesh.

Hello Nicholas 👋😊 Yes, this tool is not really mature yet and a bit tricky. Let's see if there will be an update regarding this, and we can work with it more smoothly. Best regards, Danny.
