How to change the mesh of the Cable component in Unreal engine? I want to make plants with this component, but I don’t really understand how to change mesh to plant mesh. Please tell me, is it possible to do this? Or what do I need to do?
You can’t change the mesh, but you can change the material.
You’ll need to make a material that looks like vines. It will be a masked material, just like foliage.
The default gray mesh, you get with the cable component, is basically a 1 unit UV square wrapped around to make a tube.

Thank you very much for the answer! May I ask for advice? Now I’m trying to implement plants similar to those in the Abzu game, I watched the video “Creating the Art of ABZU”, and got interested, I thought I could do it through Cable, but it can only be done through the material, it’s just that there is still an optimization issue also plays an important role…
I took a quick look at that vid, I don’t see any vines
