I Mastered Nanite Displacement in Unreal Engine 5.5 and You Can Too!

🔴[Store, Membership, and Socials]🔴

In this tutorial, we’ll dive deep into the exciting world of Nanite displacement for landscapes in Unreal Engine 5.5. Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your skills, this guide covers everything you need to know to create highly detailed and realistic landscapes using Nanite tessellation.

We begin by exploring how to enable Nanite displacement and set up a landscape in your Unreal Engine project. From there, we’ll craft a custom material with layered textures that interact dynamically with the environment. You’ll learn how to use slope-based blending to create intricate transitions between materials, enhancing the realism of your landscape.

As we sculpt and deform the landscape, we’ll leverage height maps and detailed shaders to achieve accurate, visually stunning results. The video takes you step by step through the shader setup, showing how to unlock the full potential of Nanite displacement with precision and performance in mind.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of how to design breathtaking, next-gen landscapes for your projects in Unreal Engine 5.5. Let’s get started and bring your creative visions to life!

imagine this with footstep textures. A super powerful character walking that cracks the ground as they walk is gonna look so cool with stuff like this.

This is crazy 😮. Thx bro, but i am still waiting for day and nights sequence with moon phases in ue5.5 😊

[boriskourt]

Thanks for this one. Its quite clear. Would you say its good to not use normal maps for terrain if the displacement is detailed enough?

[mootzartdev]

Have you managed to get this to go on large terrains?

[cl]

does this work with path tracing? or only lumen.

I've been fiddling around on this for about 2-3 hours and this is my second tutorial and I still cannot get it to function, even noticed your comment about not utilising the r.Nanite.AllowTessellation=1
r.Nanite.Tessellation=1 add on in the settings.ini, but good lord, I am so confused as to how it just will not function at all for me? Very strange. Not sure if the update that just happened the 5.5.1 update added a bug or I'm just doing something wildly wrong?

Can you create a tutorial covering landscape painting with displacement? I followed a few other tutorials where they used ORD maps instead of an individual displacement map but I couldn't get it working despite setting it all up correctly as far as I can tell.

Does nanite tessellation work with path tracer?

[Derjyn]

I missed where you jumped from 5.3 to 5.5 and compared.

[nihilist_]

I managed to get this working with two layers and it's looking pretty good, but how can I add a third layer while being able to adjust the slope angle between all 3?

[calvnational]

it seems the layered brush for the landscape material not working?

[MadHouseProductionsD]

What if I put the 2 lines of code in and the displacement option is STILL NOT SHOWING UP?

[moronicabral]

Hey, does tessellation not work on old AMD GPUs with DirectX 12?

[nemysisretrogaming]

And Epic still hasn't fixed lumen shadows with nanite enabled as I could see when you didn't have the alteration glitches.

[spyrava]

Looks like It's STILL doesn't work on AMD cards. It's been two major updates, and It's still doesn't work. That's ridicules. Why they even bother to implement this feature if it not gonna run on consoles and PC's with AMD...
