We’re kicking off our series of Unreal Engine 5 Early Access in-depth presentations with Nanite, our new virtualized geometry system! Nanite uses a new internal mesh format and rendering technology to render pixel scale detail and high object counts. Join us as we take a look underneath the hood and explore how Nanite was used in the sample project “Valley of the Ancient".
