What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Proceed with caution
- Why
- Capability is a genuine step-change for dense vegetation (independent test: ~2x FPS), but Epic's own Experimental flag, the Dynamic Wind limitations, and shadow-cost behavior make it unsafe as a load-bearing dependency in a shippable build today.
- Next
- Prototype Nanite Foliage + the Procedural Vegetation Editor in an isolated UE 5.7 branch, profile VSM/shadow cost on target hardware, and keep a non-Nanite fallback path until the feature exits Experimental.
