Mesh Approximation Settings

C++ Source:

  • Module: Engine

  • File: MeshMerging.h

Editor Properties: (see get_editor_property/set_editor_property)

  • allow_distance_field (bool): [Read-Write] Whether to allow distance field to be computed for this mesh. Disable this to save memory if the generated mesh will only be rendered in the distance.

  • approximation_accuracy (float): [Read-Write] Approximation Accuracy in Meters, will determine (eg) voxel resolution

  • attempt_auto_thickening (bool): [Read-Write] if enabled, we will attempt to auto-thicken thin parts or flat sheets

  • base_capping (MeshApproximationBaseCappingType): [Read-Write] Optional methods to attempt to close off the bottom of open meshes

  • capture_field_of_view (float): [Read-Write]

  • clamp_voxel_dimension (int32): [Read-Write] Maximum allowable voxel count along main directions. This is a limit on ApproximationAccuracy. Max of 1290 (1290^3 is the last integer < 2^31, using a bigger number results in failures in TArray code & probably elsewhere)

  • max_angle_deviation (float): [Read-Write] UV islands will not be merged if their average face normals deviate by larger than this amount

  • merging_threshold (float): [Read-Write] Distortion/Stretching Threshold for island merging - larger values increase the allowable UV stretching

  • multi_sampling_aa (int32): [Read-Write] If Value is > 1, Multisample output baked textures by this amount in each direction (eg 4 == 16x supersampling)

  • near_plane_dist (float): [Read-Write]

  • occlude_from_bottom (bool): [Read-Write] If true, then the OcclusionMethod computation is configured to try to consider downward-facing “bottom” geometry as occluded

  • occlusion_method (OccludedGeometryFilteringPolicy): [Read-Write] Type of hidden geometry removal to apply

  • use_render_lod_meshes (bool): [Read-Write] If true, LOD0 Render Meshes (or Nanite Fallback meshes) are used instead of Source Mesh data. This can significantly reduce computation time and memory usage, but potentially at the cost of lower quality output.

  • uv_generation_method (MeshApproximationUVGenerationPolicy): [Read-Write] Mesh UV Generation Settings

  • winding_threshold (float): [Read-Write] Winding Threshold controls hole filling at open mesh borders. Smaller value means “more/rounder” filling
