Windmill blades are invisible (materials issue) #81

Closed tedbarnett closed 2 months ago

tedbarnett commented 3 months ago

In the Blueprint BP_1660-Windmill, the rotating "Blades" are not rendering. Examining the blueprint, it appears that the slot 1 material "M_CLOTH" is the issue. If it is replaced by any other material, the blades are visible.

Is there something about this material that needs fixing (not Nanite-ready?)?

I created an Instance of the Cloth material (MI_CLOTH_For_Windmill) and over-rode the blend mode (from translucent to opaque). The blade sails appear again, but they look crappy. Was nice when they were somewhat translucent (like real cloth). Is this no longer supported?

They are an ugly opaque white currently. Is there a translucent white or grey cloth material available?
