Daily Unreal Column #55 - Freeze Rendering

When trying to inspect different rendering issues there is one console command that is invaluable.

Using FreezeRendering console command allows to freeze the current state of rendering without freezing the entire editor or game. It allows you to keep playing the game like nothing happened. I personally used this command multiple times to investigate the culling system. Thanks to the fact that the game is not frozen, we can keep walking with our character in the game and look for things that should or shouldn’t be culled.

Here is a great video made by Unreal Directive showcasing how inspecitng culling looks like.
