Possible PERFORMANCE BOOSTERS when using VSM (virtual shadow maps):
1. Adjust "Anti-Aliasing Method" in "Project Settings" to "TAA" instead of "TSR".
2. Adjust "Engine Scalability Settings" to "High" or "Medium".
3. Adjust "World Position Offset Disable Distance" of all the DZ tree meshes in your level to be the same value as wind kill distance (e.g. 10000 = 100m) in master materials.
4. Adjust "Shadow Cache invalidation behavior" of all the DZ tree meshes in your level to "Rigid" or "Static".
This Bundle includes DropZone Studios' assets:
DZ Trees - Deciduous Trees (Oaks, Red Oaks and Maples)

With these 100 very high-quality deciduous trees that are photographed in the Finnish forests and parks you can create unbelievable environments for any purpose you can ever imagine. This asset includes high resolution Nanite models and textures of six different tree species: oaks (20), maples (20), red oaks (10), birches (10 silver birches and 10 sand birches), aspens (10 normal aspens and 10 columnar aspens) and willows (10). Our versatile materials with most easy to use stepless seasonal settings and incredible wind effects make these trees just perfect for every purpose from games to architectural purposes. Amazing look and most realistic wind behavior with great FPS rate is a combo that all DZ tree assets share. It’s hard to believe that all the DZ trees are actually made for gaming. Get yourself to our YouTube channel and prove it to yourself.
Full Nanite support:
All the trees are high-res Nanite meshes and are using Nanite by default. 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, seasonal changes and wind effects according to your wishes. Wind effects are very cheap for PC performance, yet very realistic. Watch the tutorial videos to get an idea of all the useful features that these versatile materials offer. These include, for example, stepless and most realistic seasonal settings (including also snow and wetness), possibility to add moss/lichen and peeled bark to trunks and branches, adjusting the visibility of leaves, adjusting the amount of leaves, killing the wind effect smoothly according to the distance and mixing different wind directions with different strengths. Wind effects also use two vertex colors to get branches move more naturally. As a new feature we have added an MPC (material parameter collection) for controlling wind power of all the trees at the same time by tweaking only one number.
