🌿 Ultimate FOLIAGE Guide in UE5 🌿
I'm very happy to share this guide with all of you today. I spent DAYS trying out every method and technique I could find on Foliage in Unreal Engine 5.
I start from the basics for the beginners, but also for ex-Unity devs. I then go over most well-known optimizations for foliage before showing you some very nice tips & tricks that I had trouble finding myself.
This guide is not a complete course, as it would take literal hours to teach you every single detail, but this is probably one of the most condensed and straight-to-the-point resource you'll find.
Of course I may have missed a few important notes, as always please share your own research and findings with others down below so we can all grow as a community. I am not an expert myself and am always looking for new ways to improve.

Actor visible ONLY in a mirror/reflections ? 👌
มุมมอง 3.6Kปีที่แล้ว
A quick tip for Unreal Engine today, that will be useful if you want to play around reflections on water, metal, a mirror... and have an object be visible ONLY in the reflective material, otherwise invisible in the scene. This might seem simple but I really scratched my head for some time before finding the right settings, and I didn't find much online about it. I hope this can serve as a usefu...

Unreal Engine 5 looks like a movie ! - Cinematic 3D environment
มุมมอง 5Kปีที่แล้ว
This short sequence was made as an experiment to learn Unreal Engine 5.1 and get as close as possible to a film look. I used Lumen, Nanite meshes and Path Tracing to achieve this result. This is my very first project on Unreal Engine and I am excited to continue. I will soon post a short behind-the-scenes to get a glimpse at how I approached making this piece.

Great tutorial!
I think you have to put r.Streaming.PoolSize= not a space if you set the command via ini
Thank you so much you explain really well
Super vidéo, thank you ;)
After compressing, can I revert it back if needed
5:54 "un p'tit verre d'eau" ahahah j'avais meme pas tilt avant que t'etait FR, gg une video tres intéressante, merci :D
hello,i cant find the parameters cheatsheet ,could you give me something new?
Hey guys here's a quick cheetsheet for you, showing how easy it is to hit the default limit of 1000mb, based on how many times your texture size is used in the map 512x512: 1000 textures 1024x1024: 250 textures 2048x2048: 62 textures 4096x4096: 15 textures (YIKES!!)
Very awesome and useful tips for me as a beginner!! Looking forward to more of your videos for sure 😊
Does anyone have a problem where Unreal shows 100% memory used for texture streaming pool no matter what? (shows in console command "stat streaming") Even when I run a blank level. I have a high-end PC with a 4090. All my levels play smoothly, no problem, whether VR or not, but the stat display always shows texture pool memory maxed out, even with just a simple floor with 2k texture, and pool set to 6000MB. No red message ever. Weird!
Great video, thanks ! What is still lacking in general, is for the very advanced user, the question "yes, but WHAT parameter value are used by big studio and game industry" !? What streaming pool value are used by gaming industry ?
Mdrrrr c pas un anglais lui
5:54 " un p'tit verre d'eau" ahah
thank you for the tutorial. but i couldn't find , "Bulk edit via property matrix" option. I'm currently using version 5.4 of UE5
it looks like it's been renamed to'Edit Selection in Property Matrix'
I dont know how they call you at home, but i think they should call you GOD! I have 128GB RAM, my RTX 4070 and a R7 5800X3D and i keep getting that thing, im barrelly makign a small map with a forest in the middle and an appartment inside a building in front, and i kept getting that message, even tho i sometimes still see it. the movement is now fluid and smooth. it was stutering so bad i had to put "UNLIT" mode to model easier. Thanks for this man!
Thank Bro !
dumb question, does it make a difference using "r.Streaming.PoolSize 2000" vs "r.Streaming.PoolSize=2000"
Maybe helpful, but the background music is completely unnecessary and annoying
For anyone wondering when you add anything from Quixel bridge these are what their quality settings equal Low: Typically 512x512 or 1024x1024 Medium: Generally 2048x2048 High: Often 4096x4096 Highest: Usually 8192x8192 So you can import them correctly the first time.
Brilliant video - Covered a lot of more advanced tips and optimisations that I havent seen elsewhere!
I'm making a 3D sidescroller like Little Nightmares, and I wanted a mirror to show a wall behind the player that normally wouldn't be seen, but this method doesn't work. The wall seems to vanish if the camera backs up too much.
Can You make tutorial
thank you, you really helped us !
This really helped me, thanks!
Gonna give this a go. Have you noticed issues with DoF and motion blur using this tool?
1:53 when i drag and drop the static mesh in the foliage it ask me to save the asset as... ?! What am i doing wrong :'(
This is by far the most comprehensive video on the Streaming Pool matter on YT. Also, it actually deals with solving the issue rather than covering dirt under the rug by making the SPool bigger. One question - you mention basic maps such as Diffuse/Base Colour, Normal and Roughness - what about the other maps which come when uploading assets with materials? i.e. Albedo, AO, Displacement etc - should these also be made 512? many thanks!
Thank you :) it all depends on your use case and the proximity of the camera to the textures. If it’s a secondary/background asset with no close ups you can get away with low resolution, basically optimize the texture sizes based on distance/importance
Hmmm. Trying to use a grass node with an autolandscape but even though I have appointed a layer as "grass", have set a material and have used the landscape layer sample + landscape grass node I can't seem to spawn grass. ??? Also, in 5.4, I can't seem to find the nanite option under the static meshes. Yes, I have nanite enabled.... any help?
Yoooo
Allez ptit verre d'eau ... .flllurp 😅
in 09:09 what type of wind system you use for those.
Thumbs Down . how do you bring up console commands . If your going to do a Tut do explain everything .
THANK YOU
Great video. I just have a doubt, is there any difference in performance between landscape grass type and Procedural Foliage Spawner
great insightful video, thank you! :)
Great intro to PCG! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you a lot, I went from 12k mem usage to max 5k, really useful, short and to the point.
"aller ptit verre d'eau" tu refais ma journée🤣
Show 5.4 "fix" solution , how to really use please
u have to add = before the number, for example r.Streaming.PoolSize=XXXX
Great! Thanks! 🙂
Gold!
Excellent video!!!
i test on ue 5.1,and not work,i try to change reflection to lumen or screen space or raytracing,but also not work
can you send the the sheet,icant get the sheet
🙏
I realized you haven't used '=' in your command. according to Google AI the command should be like this. r.Streaming.PoolSize = (DesiredSizeInMB)
Perfect. Thank you for guiding us
Okay, but the texture sizes can be defined within the quality settings per platform and by setting the quality configurations accordingly: Low, Medium, High, Epic. Defining the sizes there without having to touch the texture compression settings directly in the files, as this is the least recommended option to solve the problem. From what I understand, when starting, the editor can run with 1GB of space for textures, but over time, this space gets exhausted and is not released. Is there any other performance setting that we are not considering?
helped a bit . thanks .
This is fantastic, I recently started working with unreal from unity :) Thank you.
I am able to get the textures to be set at 2048, but no matter what I do, it either crashes or bluescreens when I try to save. No idea how to fix
same problem, did you find a way to fix this?
