Polygon with ground texture is now transparent

Version: 1.2.2

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Blocker

Marketplace package name: if applicable

Bug description: When using SDK 1.2.2 and latest SU1 Beta, polygons/aprons with Ground texture are see-through (ground merging is not checked and Opacity set to full 255). I am trying to hide some old satellite imagery and using a polygon with ‘GrassGround3’ material which is a close match to surrounding area. This was working fine before the latest Beta update 1.3.1.

Add a polygon to a satellite image at an airport and use a Ground material.

Hello,

Could you please send us your project ?

After reviewing your project :

The grass texture that you applied try to patch the default aerial and by design, it will not be able to 100% cover it.

In your case, you will need to add a custom aerial that hide this part and then on top of that you will be able to add your apron with a grass material on it.

Hope it helps,

Boris - OK, I will try to use a different technique for this, thanks for clarifying. Is this something new as it worked (completely covered the satellite image) before the recent Beta update, Thanks!

I will investigate this and let you know if I find a regression.

Thanks, and FYI I also tried with an apron instead of a polygon which also does the same thing and used to work well for hiding some of the satellite blemishes.

Hello @FlicMcFly,

I ran some additional tests and can confirm that this is a regression.
I have logged the issue in our backlog.

Hi Boris - Could you confirm if this issue is corrected in the SU2 Beta? I went through the changelog but not sure I saw anything referencing this particular issue unless it is described differently in the change notes. Thanks!

I can confirm this is fixed on our end
