Nanite Displacement Bounds Mismatch Causes Floating Terrain Artifacts on Landscape

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Mar 19, 2026

Summary When Nanite Tessellation (Nanite Displacement) is enabled on a Landscape in UE 5.7.3, scaling the Displacement value via Multiply nodes in the material graph causes floating terrain ghost a ...

Nanite culling breaks on scaled object with displacement when camera enters displacement area

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Mar 9, 2026

Nanite tessellation, only supports calculating displacement in local space and everything gets scaled with the object scale, which is often undesirable. If the camera enters inside the area allocate ...

STAT_StaticMeshTotalMemory increases after repeated loading and unloading of a level containing Nanite static meshes

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Feb 26, 2026

The issue appears to be caused by a mismatch in the value returned by GetResourceSizeBytes(EResourceSizeMode::Exclusive) between InitResources() and ReleaseResources(). At InitResources(), the repo ...

Nanite displacement issue when using along non-uniform scaling

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Feb 26, 2026

Nanite Tessellation displacement direction is incorrect for landscapes with non-uniform scales. It seems to use the normal from the unscaled landscape, which can result in the displacement causing t ...

Crash caused by a race condition in Nanite::DispatchBasePass()

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Feb 25, 2026

Nanite::BuildShadingCommands() launches two asynchronous tasks: ShadingCommands.SetupTask ShadingCommands.BuildCommandsTask BuildCommandsTask is responsible for modifying ShadingCommands.Commands ...

Distance Field Shadows do not work with Nanite meshes

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Feb 16, 2026

Nanite meshes only cast virtual shadow maps and do not cast any distance field shadows, regardless of the distance of the shadow casting mesh to the camera. ...

Material picking of Nanite meshes with multiple sections not working

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Nov 24, 2025

Picking a material of a section of a Nanite enabled mesh will not work correctly, while the same picking logic works fine for non-Nanite meshes. On Nanite meshes, the reported section index seems to ...

Vertex color does not work on Skeletal Mesh with Nanite enabled

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Oct 7, 2025

Nanite enabled skeletal meshes don't work with materials containing a vertex color node. The vertex color material does work for non-Nanite skeletal meshes and Nanite-enabled static meshes. ...

Converting a mesh to Nanite merges mesh sections with the same material index, but with different material overrides

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Oct 6, 2025

When a mesh with multiple sections which point to the same MaterialIndex but have different settings enabled (e.g. bCastShadow is enabled on only one section) is converted to Nanite, the material sl ...

Nanite Skeletal Meshes Invalidate VSM

UE - Rendering - Graphics Features - Nanite - Sep 17, 2025

Nanite Skeletal Meshes will always invalidate VSMs, even with their Shadow Cache Invalidation Behavior set to Rigid. This does not match the behavior of non-Nanite Skeletal Meshes. ...
