Understanding Dash Mesh Creation
Hey there! In this video, I explore creating meshes in Dash and encounter some issues with material application. I showcase my process step by step and seek advice on where I might be going wrong. Join me as I navigate through mesh creation and troubleshooting for a better understanding.

It's a bug that we fixed and it will be pushed in next update. To make it show extract this zip DASH_INSTALL_FOLDER\Modules\GN\ContentLibrary\Backends\IESLibrary\IesLibraryContents.zip so you get this result

This is not true for Polyhaven maps. I have tried a lot of them. Even though they do import a Displace texture map it can not be used without manually changing a lot of things. No displace or height option for material. Are you thinking of using modelling tools with mesh displacement options?

Yeah the Polyhaven process is a bit finnicky right now. They do give you a displacement map when you download 4K textures, but one thing we're working on right now is a universal Albedo + Normal + ORM + Displacement setup that will work for Megascans assets in FAB, Polyhaven, and anything else you have. We're packing the textures automatically when needed, so as a user, the process will get much simpler, plus your own content will be usable, provided it follows that universal format. This should be ready within a week or two, I think.
