Parallax Occlusion Mapping | 5-Minute Materials [UE5]
Hello! Today we're looking at the Parallax Occlusion Mapping function inside Unreal Engine (also known as POM)
This handy function can be used to create fake 3D depth in your materials. It's the older brother of BumpOffset!

    Excellent information and opinion. I agree with you entirely. I think that we'll see a lot of newer indie devs, or people with specific single-player projects, who use and package with this. I think for those of us who are making multiplayer games/are already into our projects, probably not for us. The idea is nice! But I mean, I do all of my animations from scratch in Blender because of optimization for my game with multiplayer. Reason being, just like you've mentioned, for each of my weapons, or at least genres, I need new animations. So I have crouch, walk, jog and run/sprint. Doesn't sound like a lot until you take into count forward, backward, strafe left, strafe right, diagonal left fwd, diagonal right fwd, diagonal left bwd, diagonal right bwd. Then take into count my aim offsets for the head/torso to follow the mouse in those states (additive). Now take into fact the items I animate the player holding: one handed weapon, one handed weapon with offhand, one handed weapon blocking and blocking with offhand, then two handed weapons, two handed weapons blocking, then bows, then crossbows. So just for my one handed weapons I have forward, backward, strafe left, strafe right, diagonal left, diagonal right, and those all in crouch, walk, jog, run/sprint. So 8x4=32. 32 animations for my one handed weapon. Hmmm, what about unarmed, with offhand, blocking, two handed, blocking, bow, crossbow...? I have 224 animations, roughly. Finally you add other states like jumping and swimming, as well as emotes, like sitting, waving, sleeping... You can get all of your animations for a humanoid rig up to 500 sure, but they will be more optimized and run better in a multiplayer game. If you were to take these 500 animations and then add weapons, etc. you're talking about thousands of animations. Crazy. I can't imagine using this. Does look beautiful though. Good luck with an open world map with structures, foliage, water, niagara effects, npc's and their pathing, weather, music, and keeping a good frame rate. Yikes! Sorry for the rant. Don't even get me started on AI assets.

      I don't think I've provided any misinformation - the video is titled "my thoughts" and I've never once claimed to be an expert in Unreal Engine, as I've only done Game Dev for 3 years. I wouldn't call it "stunning" results with less animations, from what I've seen it just seems to be on par with Blendspaces but with all the additional setup and data. Some of them can be used in Blendspaces, which is great, and the vaulting animations can make for great montages, but the vast majority are very niche (all the transition anims) which is fine, since it's a MM example project, but I think people had the idea that it would be more of a general locomotion library

    Something I don't necessarily like about this is that smaller developers are "forced" to use this, which will cause a lot of games to feel the same. Obviously developers aren't actually forced to use this, don't get me wrong - but now, devs looking to create their own locomotion solution will be at a time disadvantage. Sometimes it's nice not to have an existing solution for something so important such as player animation, because that's how you get games with varying identities

    To be honest, I'm not a fan of the side running 3:06 to left or right ... it looks so unnatural, it only fits in a tennis game. :) Many games use the 8way run (not sure what's the correct term of the movement that was invented for Crash Bandicoot), that makes the motion matching almost useless.

    I know answering complex questions like this in the comment section might not be possible but I'll give it a shot anyway if I can get pointed in the right direction: I have a character with physical animation. A weapon (skeletal mesh, tried also static mesh) is attached to the socket in the hand of the character. If I push on the character's hand, the sword follows the hand. If I push on the sword, it rotates in the hand correctly. What I need to happen now is - if I push the weapon, it should also influence the character's physics accordingly, and the hand should follow the weapon/ the weapon should push on the hand and move it. Thanks for this guide anyway 🙏

    Can you elaborate why you have mixed feelings about Nanite? Like a full blown video? From my tiny amount of experience [and a lot of reading] it seems like just almost always the best choice [apart from translucent stuff].

    • @PrismaticaDev
      @PrismaticaDev 4 дні тому

      That's a great question! There are a couple of reasons, one being backwards compatibility and over-reliance on the tech, but the other reason is that it currently doesn't do -everything- (such as translucency, drawing to RVTs and using Vertex Paint) which would mean I'd be using both systems at the same time, and both systems would be running their overhead. Nanite seems to have a higher initial cost but scales much better compared to traditional geometry, so just using a little bit of Nanite is kinda a bit of a chugger

    Currently working on an RTS game (top down camera with a 40-60% angle like Prismatica plugin demo)- 1) will POM fit great here? since the camera never going to a shallow angle near the floor this type of effect will probably never break 2) POM vs WPO- which one is better for performance?

    • @PrismaticaDev
      @PrismaticaDev 5 днів тому

      For a top down, BumpOffset might be enough. But POM with a low step count could also be fine. WPO would require a very dense mesh to get the same effect, but with Nanite tessellation it would be doable. I’d say the order of performance would be BumpOffset - WPO - POM

    Pro Tip: If you use TAA or TSR you can annihilate the stepping effect with a Dither, you'll be able to keep your Max Steps to extremely low values while still looking good It's way better if you use a Blue Noise Dither too instead of the stock one The Steps can be optimized based on distance too from the camera, been suffering a lot in making this work since we're using POM on our Landscape, a lot of Optimizations and little tricks, especially in blending the different layers If you use PDO I'd suggest turning off Contact Shadows too, those are the ones that most of the times make it look all glitchy and stuff Wanted to share pictures of the setup but YT doesn't seem to like imgur links and removed my comments 2 times already So if anyone is interested in any of this, can maybe share the raw code

      Bangin’ advice. I’ve used dithering with BumpOffset before to get a sort of ‘blurred vertical lines’ effect for an Ice shader before but didn’t think of using it in POM. That’s a good point about the distance optimisation - since the Custom node is actually doing loops based on the step amount input, changing it at runtime/based on a gradient would actually make it execute less code, unlike ‘hiding’ something with a Lerp.

    Hi, agreed on the 500 animations remark, am having the same exact thought. The AnimBP values aren't ThreadSafe, possibly one reason why your FPS hit below 30? Also, someone did a comparison between 50 ALS and 50 GASP (Game Animation Sample Project) characters and concluded that GASP, in terms of performance wise, is better than ALS. So I'm guessing the second reason is PC specs? On my end, I have RTX 3800ti and only in GASP I keep getting the "streaming pool size" error. Eitherway, GASP isn't complete (as decribed in the Read Me found on the map), so yeah. ✌

    • @PrismaticaDev
      @PrismaticaDev 5 днів тому

      Hey hey! I think the comparison between ALS and the MM example is a bit flawed, since ALS itself runs a lot of extra BP code on the character compared to the MM example character and is usually regarded as quite unoptimized when used at scale. The reason I did my quick test the way I did is that both Characters were the exact same, so they had the same BP and SK mesh overhead and so only the AnimBP was changed. Also keep in mind I was streaming to UA-cam and Twitch and also recording at 2k resolution during the tests haha but that shouldn't have made much difference as it was the same in both scenarios.
