Regression

No

Terrain is not rendered near the camera when using Instanced Draw and tessellation shader

Terrain

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open attached project "repro_1111579" (OC link below)
2. Zoom towards terrain

Expected result: Terrain is visible
Actual result: Terrains stops being rendered when it is near the camera

Reproducible with: 2018.4.3f1, 2019.1.9f1, 2019.2.0b6, 2019.3.0a8
Could not test with: 2017.4.x (no instancing)

  1. Resolution Note (2019.3.X):

    Thank you for submitting this case. Upon investigating we've determined that the reason for near patches of terrain not rendering is that instancing and tessellation is unfortunately not supported by Unity. It is supported by the new render pipeline (URP) however.

    We are putting it under a feature in our backlog (rather than a bug), and will take this into consideration in the future. The request will be moved to our internal planning tool, and this case will be closed. This does not guarantee that the feature will be implemented, as objections may be raised once technical planning is started.

    It's because INSTANCED DRAW with TESSELLATION SHADER is not supported.
    Please add support for this in classic render pipeline.
