Thanks.

I might be wrong, but I think with the introduction of Nanite, displacement is being phased out?..

State of Unreal Landscape System

From a game dev perspective there’s some issues with the base - granted it’s like that mostly because of the wire-frame. As you get further from the camera, the density of the wire-frame should not get more dense. It’s a culling thing. It should only render what is actually on screen. In ue4 landscape that’s done via LODs - which still render the whole part you don’t see anyway, but have less dense geometry. Doing it properly in a procedural fashion, since you have to build each tris, I woul…
