Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Lots of stuff work fine on a flat plane. A sphere is the true test! 😆 I feel POM gets a bad rep since the default UE5 version breaks down if you combine it with tri-planar mapping or other techniques. Not FPOM though 👀 #gamedev #techart 1277
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Here is Nanite Displacement fading over to FPOM in the distance. 🧙♂️ 020
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Really excited to finally release FPOM! 🥳 It's a Parallax Occlusion Mapping shader I made with the goal of having an alternative for Nanite Displacement that looks good for a fraction of the cost. Works with Landscape, Mesh Terrain, Meshes, Decals etc. fab.com/listings/f56... #gamedev 312125
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Always been annoyed that nanite displacement is relative to the scale of the mesh, so I fixed it! This engine change allows me to have different scales on the meshes without any issues. The meshes are then blended with MeshBlend to make it look like one surface. #gamedev 0332
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 31/07/2026MeshBlend & World Aligned Materials is too good! 🤩 Testing a workflow where I only have one material instance per surface type. That then goes on any mesh. Blending the seams between the meshes to create a seamless surface. Amazing to just play around with the variations! #gamedev #unrealengine 1436
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 24/06/2026MeshBlend is now available for Unreal Engine 5.8! If it's a mesh, we can blend it. #gamedev 0183
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Ever noticed how Subnautica 2 has almost no seams? In the sand, on the rocks, in the cave walls. None! Check it out next time you are swimming around! 👀 Being able to say I had something to do with this game has been such an honor! 527131

Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 17/04/20262 years ago MeshBlend was born! 🎂🥳 Not on purpose, but a random message on the Visual Tech Art discord server. @makkon.bsky.social was there, and something about his "introduce yourself" post piqued my interest. Amazed how many talented people I've met on online the last couple of years! 🤩 3897

Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Most of the MeshBlend showcases I make are to highlight the blending. But in real-world use it's often used more as a "seam remover". Here are some amazing in-game screenshots of Beautiful Light using MeshBlend to make the world feel more cohesive! 🤩 #gamedev 0114
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Blending meshes always feels like magic! Hearing what environment artists think of MeshBlend is the best part though! ✨ PS: MeshBlend is currently off on Fab this week - meshblend.lervik.com #ue5 #gamedev 16716
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Landscapes with overhang. What is this magic? 👀 Mesh Terrain in UE 5.8 is shaping up nicely! Really like that I can have sculpt layers that I can then move, rotate and resize. #UE5 #gamedev 1151

Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 03/10/2025How to make branches and decoration feel like one natural looking tree in UE5 👀 Use vertex color to mask out the seams. Then use MeshBlend to drive the blending between the different parts of the same mesh. #gamedev 2278

Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Feels different when there are no seams! 😄 Just playing with MeshBlend today. #ue5 #gamedev 310014
Tore Lervik @hallatore.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Our brain is incredible at detecting edges, to the point where too much visual clutter makes it harder for players to focus on what matters. Blending meshes isn't always about making it look good but helping the important stuff "pop". Used MeshBlend + "Find edges" filter to visualize #gamedev #ue5 410618
