How to see (activate) Planar Reflections in Aximmetry DE (UE5)

Back to Posts

 

Dear Aximmetry Team,

I have created a scene with PlanarReflection in Unreal Engine 5. Everything is displayed correctly in UE. However, as soon as I have cooked the scene and opened it in Aximmetry, the planar effects are not displayed. 



Is there a possible setting or necessary step?


Thanks in advance.

I have now fixed the problem myself. 


For those who are interested:

If you want to use a water reflection (with Planar Reflection) in Aximmetry, but it is not displayed in Game Mode (UE/Aximmetry), you have to create a surface with reflective material that is placed directly on or slightly below the water surface.

It was irritating for me because the effect was visible in the preview view (in Unreal), but not in game mode.

This is not an Aximmetry issue or even an issue. In preview mode you will see the actual reflection plane to help you place it at the correct level in the scene. It’s not intended to be ever viewed in the actual scene. It’s simply how Unreal works and not something specific to Unreal in Aximmetry.
