Описание
Unreal Engine material optimization assistant for Technical Artists, Material Artists and Level Artists. Find expensive material graphs before they become performance problems.
True Material Cost analyzes your materials and highlights common shader issues directly inside the editor. It is designed as a practical diagnostic helper - not a replacement for GPU profiling, platform testing or final performance validation.
Use it as a fast first pass to catch suspicious material patterns, review large material libraries and guide artists toward cleaner, cheaper graphs.
Features:
Output pin cost estimates.
ALU / Texture Fetch balance.
VRAM-bound and ALU-bound material warnings.
Dependent texture fetch detection.
Unoptimized Lerp / branch detection.
Early-Z warnings.
Shader permutation / PSO bloat warnings.
Masked material quad penalty checks.
Jump directly to the offending material node.
Live Material Editor tab that updates as you edit.
Analyze selected materials from the Content Browser.
Analyze whole folders of materials.
Commandlet support for batch analysis.
Filtering by severity.
Optional CSV export for reports and team reviews.
Built for teams that need a faster way to spot material risks before late-stage optimization passes.
