Fade to color. Performance

Development Rendering

In a material, if I make it so that the Normal or Diffuse texture fades to a certain value, will I see any performance improvement?

The moss material in Starter Content has a normal map that fades to blue when the pixel is far enough. That is what I’m talking about.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Nope, there is no benefit from that. Performance will be the same. Starter content fade to flat normal was most likely done to reduce noise in the scene.

Thank you!
