🔗Nanite Landscape Displacement Tutorial:    • I Mastered Nanite Displacement in Unreal E...  

Building on our previous tutorial, this video dives deep into creating dynamic water puddles that seamlessly integrate with your landscape in Unreal Engine 5.5. Using a smart material function, we’ll show you how to set up water puddles that form naturally based on slope masks, paint masks, or any parameter you choose.

What makes this approach unique is that it goes beyond simple decals—these puddles are built directly into the landscape material, enabling realistic deformation of the terrain when Nanite displacement is enabled. This technique can even be adapted to create lakes or other terrain features, making it a powerful addition to your Unreal Engine toolkit.

Whether you're a beginner or intermediate user, this tutorial provides invaluable insights into the shader pipeline, material functions, and advanced techniques for creating stunning, realistic environments. Stick around to see how this approach can transform your landscapes, and don’t forget to subscribe for more content, including an upcoming tutorial on procedural snow!
