Learn how to reduce the size of Nanite assets while still keeping the same quality. Megascans can offer a very nice quality of assets we can use in our games. However, they are not optimized and it is very easy to get your Hard Drive full of assets that are very heavy.
In this video you will learn how to use Material Layers, Material Layer Blends and leverage Nanite assets so you can have a high quality 3D model that uses only 1/3 of its original size.
This will not only help you to save some memory. But in the long run it will help you to make your games and scenes faster!
