NOTE: There is a small issue here: Case #2 is logically the same as Case #3 – in both cases, Scene Depth is less than Custom Depth. Custom depth returns positive infinity and Scene Depth returns an actual distance to such objects. Objects with the feature disabled (by default).Scene depth of the cube is less than Custom Depth of the sphere. Custom Depth equals to Scene Depth in this case. Visually the whole scene can be split into 3 cases (from left to right on the picture above): We will place an object (the sphere) with Custom Depth feature enabled behind the cube on this scene: To prove this sort of a statement, let’s have an experiment: Other objects don’t have any value in this auxiliary buffer and the node returns positive infinity for them. To be honest, this does not make a lot of sense to me – it does not answer what the range of values the node returns and what exactly custom depth is.Īs per my understanding, custom depth returns a distance in UE4 measurement units (cm) from a player camera to an object with this feature enabled. This separate feature enables masking of certain objects by rendering them into another depth buffer (called custom depth buffer). The official documentation gives a vague description of these nodes which does not really help (I have already discussed the quality of the official documentation here: ) Custom Depth And I don’t mean how the shader itself works, but rather what kind of values these nodes return. However, you can download Azure architecture icons, which enables you to create your own Azure diagrams with symbols and icons to represent your cloud system.Tom Looman’s tutorials are pretty good too: īut what I did not find and had to figure out on my own is how exactly Custom Depth and Custom Depth Stencil work. If you have a non-subscription or older version of Visio, there are no Azure diagram (or Cloud and Enterprise) templates available.
