Tessellation is the ability to displace the surface of a mesh or landscape as it is rendered to create the appearance of more detail than the mesh contains. Nanite tessellation requires Unreal Engine 5.4 or higher.

A landscape material is one which is applied to an Unreal Engine landscape object. It is created similarly to any other material in Unreal but can use some special nodes (such as the Landscape Layer Blend node) which only work inside landscapes materials.

While this page is about landscape materials in Unreal Engine, it does not tell you how to make one, it describes how they are made, how important features work, and looks at alternative approaches used in commonly available examples.

This page shows how to get the Pix GPU Capture program working with Unreal 5.5.1 so you can debug and profile materials and shaders.

This article is part of a series detailing how to use the AnimToTexture plugin to animate static meshes. It details tests we can run on the actors which use animation textures developed in prior articles

Animation Textures is a technique for storing animation data in a texture and animating the mesh by using a special material to read and replay the animation data.
