Appearance
Flat Normals
Flat normals can be applied by using the Voxel Flat Normal
node in materials. This node will return flat vertex normals in worldspace. When using it, make sure the material has Tangent Space Normals
disabled in the material settings.
WARNING
The Flat Normal node only works on Voxel terrains and Nanite static meshes. For non-Nanite static meshes it will return the standard vertex normal.
Blocky Rendering
The plugin has support for basic blocky rendering. To make use of this, tick the Blockiness box on your Voxel World.
The world won't immediately turn blocky; instead, the world will turn blocky in places that have Blockiness metadata assigned. This can be done in a lot of different ways, but the easiest is to place a mesh stamp, disable Shape in the behavior toggles and add an entry called "Blockiness" with a value of 1 to the Metadata list.
INFO
To avoid visual glitches, the Flat Normals toggle on the Voxel World should (in almost all cases) be enabled when using blocky rendering. Note that flat normals will cause significant seams when using Nanite Tessellation.
Flat normals will, in a future release, be controllable through Metadata instead of being a global toggle.
