Managing the Texture Streaming Pool | Tips & Tricks | Unreal Engine

Ойындар

This time on Unreal Tips & Tricks, we look at how to manage the Texture Streaming Pool size to take advantage of more video memory, or VRAM. By doing this, we can avoid going over our allocated VRAM budget for streamed textures and MIP maps. We'll also take a brief look at how to modify multiple textures at the same time.
For more details, please see the Unreal documentation and video: docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/R...

    This video is *so* useful beyond just streaming textures -- it's also great advice for texture decisions in general. I watched it a few days ago (from another computer, not logged in) and then lost track of where it is, and literally just spent 30 minutes relocating this exact video because I want to recommend it to someone else. My thanks and compliments for a job well done. (*Now* this vid is in my personal playlist library, never to be misplaced again.)

    In Unreal Engine 5, in order to "pin" the Maximum Texture Size option in bulk edit property matrix, you'll first need to select the "Display Tab" (there are 3 tabs in the bulk edit matrix), then under "Compression" you'll find the Maximum Texture Size option.

    also the names of textures changed inside the bulk edit to "Default / Normals / Mask" in that order you change the sizes from higher to lower, been Default higher. The name "Bluk Edit selection in property Matrix" also changed, now the "Bulk" word is not there but is the same thing (if you place the mouse cursor on top of that name, the "bulk" will appear again, idk why they did this, but well, gotta adapt to these changes)

    "And this is going to be limited by the video for your target system". Question: So I understand streaming pool should not be higher than the VRAM you have on your own system you are working with, but when you say "target system" in the quote above, are you also saying that the VRAM of the system that will be playing the packaged finished product or game is also going to effect what your max streaming pool size should be? Thanks!

  • @meskalation

    I think it's that way. If you plan to release a game on a console, with 4GB VRAM, your texture streaming pool must not be over 4096MB. Setting the streaming pool to the "desired" amount (target platform) will help to keep that limit in mind and visible. While developing and testing you can set it to your personal limit of course :)

  • @ZacDonald

    @ZacDonald

    2 жыл бұрын

    Texture packing saves memory already, you'll have to test if breaking up the textures and reducing texture resolutions is worth the effort, and if it saves any memory. Detail normal resolution really depends on the camera, the scale, and how sharp the detail is. Personally I think roughness and normal map resolution should take priority over albedo, unless there's sharp details like text in the albedo. You can also reuse, tile, and rescale textures to save memory in certain situations. Really it's a what can you get away with on a case by case basis

    So, I'm at the point where I open the property matrix and it's just been sitting here, greyed out for about 15 minutes or more. There's 4407 texture objects so I expected it to take a bit but this seems excessive. I don't see any warning or error messages anywhere. Do I just keep waiting or has it crashed and just not told me yet?

    So, prior to loading the Property Matrix my required pool was 546megs. Since the Property Matrix wasn't letting me change anything, I tried to close it. To my surprise it actually closed and I could go back to doing other things. So, I went to turn of the stats overlay but noticed that now, my required pool was over 7GIGS! I wasn't actually able to change anything so why is it so much more now? I just killed and reloaded UE and my required pool is smaller now so I'll just deal with it as is for now. But I'd still like to know what was all happening.
