How To Enable And Use Nanite In Unreal Engine 5 To Make Your Game Run Smoother (Tutorial)

Hey guys, in today's video I'm going to be showing you how to enable and use nanite for your static meshes inside of Unreal Engine 5. This allows us to use millions of polys in-game and also increase efficiency.

5 minutes more packed with clear information than a bunch of 20 minute messy "uhh uhhm" videos I had to go through before finding this one. Thank you.

Doing this now on my maze/puzzle game to see how it affects FPS. Thanks! I plan to put up a sneak peek video in the near future.
EDIT: Easily gained 10 - 20 FPS and I still have a few objects to enable in the level. NICE!

Clear, concise and str8 to the point. Thank u

[bwmejju]

i got 100 exp by watching this, thank you

I read somewhere that it's only usable for meshes with very high polycount? as in, using it for low/mid poly assets is just going to add performance overhead.

Great video as always. Could you make a video showing us how to configure a gamepad to navigate in widgets? But also working with our own textured buttons, not just that standard square with a text on it. That would be a major help, but anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. Always very useful.

[DoomsDayx]

Perfect timing Matt! I am working on my Environmental art project in UE5 and wanted to use Nanite. thanks!

[vakonitas]

Hi, will you go further into the Nanite Settings within the Static Mesh Details panel?
Trying to figure out what some of these options are. Cheers and great video!

[Nochezelcalacas]

Could you do a video on how to make it so that an input can do different stuff depending on how you press it? Like if you press ctrl once, it crouch and if you press it again, it un crouches, but if you hold it, it makes you go prone. Kinda like some FPS games do. I would really appreciate it if you did a video of it. Thanks!!

Hey amazing video just a question I do have all the requirements for nanites however, when I select nanite visualization nothing pops up it just dampens my screen a little and when I try hitting on the triangles it's still the same the screen doesn't turn dark, and it doesn't show any tringles. Would you know what the problem is here?

[locogoose]

Anybody else had an error with the simple third person map after playing saying the staticmesh actor 0 has to be set to moveable in 5.1m

I've got loads of tree's that I've enabled nanite on with the new 5.1.0 release. But it seems to still be using the LODs, when I zoom way out, it still seems to show a placeholder, is there a way to disable these?

[RIMYSS]

Thanks so much! :) Excuse the pun but this was EPIC!

[antoniogansales]

It was indeed RTSS (RivaTunerStatisticsServer), which I have been using at launch in recent months for some G-Sync game optimizations!

I’m still able to let RTSS run and do its thing and I no longer get UE5 d3d errors if I add a profile for the main UnrealEditor.exe as an Application Profile and set its detection level to: None

[reaperone]

anyone know what happened when i turned nanite on it will show empty surface? and when i check the nanite triangle it will show just blacks?

[SuleBandi]

Hey Matt, is there any back draws using Nanite in a VR project? (without Lumen)

[iwnhdlb]

I didnt know you needed to use direct x12

[sudanemamimikiki]

so is there a downside to enabling nanites on all of your meshes?

[leonpijudo]

I have a crash when i enable directx12 and restart

[aarishintzam]

plz make a video on you win after killing all enemies
