Cocos Nucifera Palm Tree – Unreal Engine Documentation

This document provides technical and usage information for the Unreal Engine version of the

“Cocos Nucifera Palm Tree” asset pack.

Unreal Engine Version

• Compatible with Unreal Engine 5.6 and above

• Optimized for real-time rendering in Unreal Engine 5

Mesh Content

• Number of unique meshes: 16

• Each mesh includes:

  - Nanite-enabled version

  - Non-Nanite version with LODs

• LOD setup: LOD0 – LOD3 (varies per mesh)

• Collision: Automatically generated simple collision

• No skeletal meshes or rigging included

Nanite Support (Important)

This product includes Static Meshes with Nanite enabled.

Nanite is enabled by default on supported meshes and is intended for high-quality real-time

rendering. Users may freely enable or disable Nanite per mesh depending on their project

requirements and target platform.

For detailed information about Nanite requirements, limitations, and best practices, please

refer to the official Unreal Engine documentation:

https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/nanite-virtualized-geometry-in-unreal-engine/

Animation System

• No skeletal or vertex animations are included

• All animations are material-based

• Wind animation is implemented using:

  - World Position Offset (WPO)

  - Pivot Painter 2 workflow

• Rain and snow effects are implemented directly in the material system

• Weather effects are blended through:

  - Base Color

  - Normal

  - Roughness channels

Materials & Textures

• One master material

• 129 material instances

• 95 textures included

• Texture resolution range:

  - 1024x4096 to 4096x4096

• Physically based materials (PBR)

• Designed for realistic lighting and close-up rendering

Blueprints
