Where is the "Tessellation" options in Ue5 Materials

Unreal 5.1 has WPO w/Nanite so the ‘replacement’ would be to jack up the tessellation on the source-mesh and let Nanite sort out culling and what-not.

You end up trading some complexity w/Nanite and somewhat larger source-meshes for a much cheaper solution (computationally) which is much-more performant than tessellation. Plus with what other benefits Nanite offers, it’s a nice ‘grab bag’ of (nanite) abilities to work with.

No, it’s not really 1:1 but if you make the source mesh dense enough, you ought to never notice and, as well, have a more evenly-tessellated mesh overall.

Yes but it puts more load on modelling and bloats up storage consumption as even the most primitive meshes have to be tessellated if you want to work with bump maps.

I understand this has many advantages, but it is a tradeoff. And if you can live with the worse computational performance, one should be able to still make use of tessellation and displacement IMO.
