You will also need to increase GPUMaxReadbackCount to 110000, this can be done in console. It can also be set with a Blueprint node “Execute Console Command” here is a visual : https://x.com/GameDevMicah/status/1782445095620640982

Hello Tom!
Exporting GPU Niagara particles was added in unreal engine 4.27 I am told. Nanite was added with unreal engine 5.0EA. So you should be able to complete this with Unreal Engine 5.0EA+

That said, I built this example in UE5.3.2 and nanite and lumen have gotten a lot faster with these recient updates.

So UE5 any version will work.

I have included the project as a Plugin for UE 5.3.2 on Git Hub under the MIT licenese here :
