They can be rigged and animated, placed as a stationary object in a scene, combined with other assets to create a set/environment, simmed or destroyed, and used for shadows or holdouts. It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. What is level of detail (LOD)?

UE5 represents a generational leap in both workflows and visual fidelity, extending the engine’s support for DirectX Raytracing, NVIDIA DLSS, and NVIDIA Reflex, and adding new features such as Nanite and Lumen that make it faster and easier for games to implement photorealistic visuals, large open worlds and advanced animation and physics.

These factors include improvements in graphics, lighting, physics, animation, and scalability. This, together with dynamic or baked-in lighting and shadows, enables the creation of amazing photorealistic material that nevertheless operates in real time. The shapes used to create meshes inside the game engine are called polygons.

When batched, the animations from the Advanced Foliage Shader go a bit crazy and make the grass float around. I just toggled the “Baked Pivots” option in the shader to ON. The polygon reduction object from Cinema4D does not reduce the polygon count effectively. That’s it. When

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. You can move the polygon with the node transform, drag the corners to reshape it, add delete points. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique.
