Getting familiar with models

In this chapter, we will utilize the existing assets from the Megascan library. We’ll choose the grass model from the Content | Megascan folder:

1. Navigate to STF | Pack03-LandscapePro | Environment | Foliage | Grass and search for the grass model.

2. The next step of this part is to turn on the Nanite mode for each mesh. With those models selected, right-click on one of the models and tick the Nanite mode at the top of the menu.

We are done with this section; let’s move on to more practical fun. In the next section, we will be adding the variables inside the Actor Blueprint and we will be setting up variables and Box collision component.
