Force LOD/Material based on Device

[DaveTheFreak]

Hey Everyone,
so currently I am having a bit of a problem: I am working on a Project that oughta run both on the Oculus Rift and the Oculus Go. Mostly I am doing great, especially using the FeatureLevelSwitch within my Material but there’s one thing I can’t figure out:

I want to have two different Materials on a Mesh (LOD0 and LOD1). One for the Oculus Go and the second one for the Rift. Now depending on the current device, I want to force all Meshes without using Blueprints to use a certain LOD and therefore Material.

The main Problem is that using a Material I can’t change properties like “Fully Rough” depending on the FeatureLevel. Due to the fact that I need different and more advanced features on the Rift (which is also important for the Art Style) this is a Problem I have to solve. And if possible, without using Blueprints for every Mesh since then, all BPs won’t be visible in ReflectionCaptures.

I’d apprecciate every suggestion, thanks in advance!
Dave

Hey,

so after quite some time I figured it out. For all of you who might have the same problem to face, here is the solution:

At begin play (construction does not work) execute the Console Command “r.ForceLOD [X]”. I use this in order to make a game scalable with mobile and desktop VR (Get Device Name is a custom Function to check, if it’s a mobile device the game is running on).
The downside to this is that the distance based LOD won’t work anymore. Once the LOD is forced, it won’t change!
