The problem ist my framerate, when i open up a new lvl. Creating landscape and stuff is no Problem until i create Megascans Foliage. I want a dense forest and my framerate drops to 17-15 fps. That kinda sucks. So is there any Foliage assets who are free and has a less performance cost? Or are there any settings i can change to increase the frames…
im very new to UE (Using 5.3.0) and i learned the basics.
You can always check the Marketplace for free or discounted nature/environments assets. There are different free products every month. As far as performance goes, they would need to be tested individually, and hyper realistic may not be what you want to go with.
A few questions to help get the ball rolling:
How dense of foliage are you trying to accomplish?
Have you set up LODs for your foliage?
If so to the above what are your foliage settings? Can you send screens of them so we can get a better understanding of what you have going?
Any additional specifics or information you can provide may go a long way!
You are only using 1 LOD, which is LOD 0, full detail. You will need more than what you currently have if you want to use Megascans with their quality. Also, does all of your foliage move/need to move? You issue may also involve world position offset which uses a lot and can bog down your scene.
