Is there any full mesh trees for Nanite in the marketplace?

Nanite Foliage is supported in the recent versions of Unreal Engine, so I tried generating trees using it.

However, I wasn’t very happy with the performance - Nanite still seemed to struggle with leaves represented by Opacity Masks.

In a session at Epic, I saw that meshing individual leaves to create trees with fully opaque materials might be a new way to create forests with Nanite.

To test this out, I’ve been looking for assets in the marketplace, but Epic’s marketplace is difficult to navigate, so I’m hoping to find some help on the forums.

If anyone has found any tree assets in the marketplace that don’t use Opacity Masks for the leaves, where each leaf is made with an opaque mesh, I would really appreciate it if you could share that with me as well.

The market is flooded with them

It’s still a good idea to check the materials are opaque, but I see that several of these examples are. Or this combo seems good

Well I’m still looking for full geometry nanite trees. The examples above are not. So far all marketplace items I have tried, claiming to be nanite trees, still use alpha cards for leaves.

This is going to be a problem when the advice coming out is to use full geo on everything + opaque materials to fully optimise nanite.

It’s making me want to go back to good old fashioned LOD’s!

There is still so much nanite doesn’t work with.

Yup, Nanite is a bit of a double edged sword…
