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

DZ Trees V2.01-V2.02 New Features Tutorial

Support: [email protected]
This package contains 50 new super nice, yet ultra performant palm tree models (Windmill Palms, Date Palms, Coconut Palms, White Barbel Palms and Royal Palms), so that you could create amazing environments in UE 5.1 and above. Polygon count per tree is about 1/10 of the original DZ Trees - Palms package but the looks of these palm trees is almost as beautiful and realistic. Watch the DZ Trees - Low Poly Palms video and see for yourself.
These models are on average less than 15,000 polygons and used textures are mostly 2K (2K is a max texture resolution in this package), but their maximum display resolution has been reduced to 1K to reduce memory consumption even more. You are still able to increase the texture resolution back to maximum if you see need for it. In palm leaves' design we have used new textures to be able to create these amazing results with such a low poly count. All the models have 4 LODs, but they also support Nanite (just enable Nanite and you are ready to go).
Full Nanite support:
In V5.6 all the trees are Nanite meshes and are using Nanite by default (older versions use LODs by default). They also have 4 LODs (LOD0 - LOD3) so just disable Nanite for all the meshes and you are good to go with LODs if needed. 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 (2 pieces) 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. These super performant models use the same materials and have all the same features as our original palm trees so there are plenty of nice options to create your own unique variations of these tree models.
DZ Trees - Low Poly Palms features:
Made for Unreal Engine 5.1 and above
High quality meshes for palm trees (50 pieces)
High resolution textures
V5.6, common wind controller blueprint for controlling wind direction and strength of all the DZ Assets
Old wind system before V5.6 (recommended to use MPC for wind strength)

Snow Effect (recommended to be adjusted mostly in master material instances, 2 pieces)
Wetness Effect (recommended to be adjusted mostly in master material instances, 2 pieces)
Possibility of adding different texture effects to trunks and branches
Possibility of reducing the number of leaves (5 steps: all leaves, 3 reduced amounts and no leaves)
