I have a question. Is it better to make my own Nanite Trees for a actual game, or is the performance more or less the same with recent Megascan assets which are also nanite optimized? I know the old assets caused too many draw calls because they used Alpha Maps / Leafcards, but the newer megascan stuff is fully modeled out geometry. But im still not sure if those Megascan stuff is still usable in a game or if its rather for production.From my testing like 300 megascan trees give me 55 FPS in 4K on a 3060 TI with high settings. But what breaks the bank is always grass, i used optimized grass and it alway goes down to 27-30 FPS as soon as i paint grass. Not sure if making my own nanite grass will fix this.

Great question- apologies I haven't experimented with this, although I assume more recent Megascan assets are created with Nanite in mind
