Graphic Rants: Nanite Tessellation
Nanite Tessellation, aka Nanite Dynamic Tessellation, aka Nanite Dynamic Displacement was the next major feature I worked on after Nanite itself. Initial prototypes started back in 2020, only months after showing Nanite publicly for the first time. UE5 still hadn’t even been released to customers yet.

I started this write up shortly after but it has taken far longer to complete than I ever expected. Needless to say, publishing all this has been a long time coming. It will come in a series of posts starting with this one.
