New in V5.6.3

• Fully modeled/opaque blended versions of every tree (50/50) added to achieve the best performance with Nanite

New Features in V5.6 - DZ Assets 5.6 Tutorial

- folder structure changed so that all the DZ assets are now under DZ_Assets folder

- common wind control blueprint added for controlling all the DZ assets

- this wind control blueprint adjusts wind strength and direction and controls all the V5.6 DZ Assets of the project at the same time

- wind direction is easily adjusted now by rotating blueprint arrow in the viewport

- wind strength is now adjusted in the details panel of the wind control blueprint

- physics materials added so that leaves/needles and trunk/branches have their own collision physics

- All the trees have accurate collisions now to support simulation kind of behavior

- all the minor lighting issues that have appeared to some trees in the later UE versions (dark self shadowing) are fixed

- Some remeshing is done to fix those lighting issues so Nanite triangle count has increased a little in some trees

With these 50 (plus 50 fully modeled versions) very high-quality deciduous trees that are photographed in the Finnish forests and parks you can create amazing environments for any purpose you can ever imagine. This asset includes high resolution Nanite models and textures of three different tree species: birches (10+10 silver birches and 10+10 sand birches), aspens (10+10 normal aspens and 10+10 columnar aspens) and willows (10+10). Our updated materials with most easy to use stepless seasonal settings and incredible wind effects make these trees just perfect for every purpose from games to architectural purposes. It’s hard to believe that all the DZ trees are actually game ready assets. Get yourself to our YouTube channel and prove it to yourself.

Full Nanite support:

All the trees are high-res Nanite meshes and are using Nanite by default. Everything is optimized to achieve the best performance without compromising quality.

Full Lumen support:

This product supports Lumen in all the supported engine versions mentioned in the beginning of this product page (UE 5.1 and above). Lumen can be activated in "Project Settings" => "Rendering" => "Global Illumination" => "Dynamic Global Illumination Method" => "Lumen". More information about Lumen can be found in Unreal Engine 5.0 documentation.

Efficient and highly user-friendly materials:

Master materials are very easy to understand and effective. Material instances created from them allow easy customization of trees and wind effects according to your wishes. Wind effects are very cheap for PC performance, yet most realistic. Watch tutorial and demo videos to get an idea of all the useful features that these versatile materials offer. These include, for example, stepless and most realistic seasonal settings (including snow and wetness), possibility to add moss/lichen and peeled bark to trunks and branches, adjusting the visibility of leaves, adjusting the amount of leaves, killing the wind effect smoothly according to the distance and mixing different wind directions with different strengths. Wind effects also use two vertex colors to get branches move more naturally.
