*NOW AVAILABLE ON BOTH UNREAL MARKERT AND ARTSTATION This is an Overview / Tutorial of my new Unreal Engine tool called Displacer. Its a simple yet powerful Blueprint for taking Materials such as Megascans with displacement maps and creating Realtime non destructive geometry displacement. This tool uses Unreal Engine Geometry Script for creating displacement with subdivision on the fly. The typical method for displacing meshes in Unreal has been using the Modeling Tool Plugin to displace a mesh , however once you click accept the mesh is baked and you can no longer modify it or make changes. Displace makes Displacement simple!
