UE5.4 Step-by-Step Landscape Material | 17: NANITE DISPLACEMENT
In this Unreal Engine 5 course, suitable for complete beginners, I'll be covering the creation of automatic landscape materials to bring life and realism to your worlds, whether they be for games development or movie making.
In this episode, we'll add Nanite Displacement to our landscape and talk about the pros and cons of this technique. Even without displacement. the height map can be useful for fixing seams in our tiling variation.
Add the following two lines to your Config/DefaultEngine.ini
r.Nanite.AllowTessellation=1
r.Nanite.Tessellation=1
The Asset ID for the Desert Rock texture is xisbchvs
