hi CoquiGames!

thanks for your fast reply!

i just want to simply place the instanced static meshes / actors into my map without bringing down my performance.

that was the reason i bought “instance tool”

i´ve done everything befor using it:

• i saw the vids (some parts are real fast)
• read the documentation

and after all i tried my best in ue4.19.2 with the “instance tool” :

• i took my hierarchy meshes and converted them into “actors” (hisma).

• those actors are shown in my viewport properly!

• but when i duplicate these actors, they are invisible in my viewport…

and thats not so good for me

maybe you can give me an advice where my error could be?

thanks

Hi there,

I’m thinking maybe its the way you are converting your actors to HISM. Take a look at this video where I show how I use the Instance Tool to create a city. This was in 4.18, but workflow should be the same in 4.19. Can you do it my way? Or do you still have issues?
