Triplanar Node Material Area Lights Issue?

Bugs
1

Hi,
I’m trying to implement area lights to my project, but it seems there is an issue when it comes to using area lights with node materials, at least in my case.
I have created this triplanar node material based on a number of examples available. It was working fine with all other types of lights, but not with area lights.
I get a “Unable to compile effect:” , “Error: FRAGMENT SHADER ERROR: 0:873: ‘areaLightsLTC1Sampler’ : undeclared identifier” type of error in a really long error output.
Here’s the playground: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#T7FXR8#40

Are node materials + area lights supported? Is there something wrong with the shader?
Thanks!

I’m taking a look. We are probably assuming the inclusion of a sampler block that is not been included by this node material for some reason.

We just merged a PR for fixing this. Should be available in the next version of Babylon.js
