With EasyMapper, you can project tileable, world-aligned textures across any surface, combined with Nanite displacement, without needing UV’s on your models. EasyMapper’s material instances are cleanly organized for easy art direction, and with a few clicks, you will be able to texture entire levels in moments, and give your models the detail they deserve.
You can toggle between World-Aligned (Triplanar) texture projection, giving you full control over the size/scale of your texture projection. Or you can use your “regular” UV mapping on your models if needed.
With the help of Nanite tessellation/displacement, you can also displace your models using height/displacement maps.
To top it all off, you can add realism to your models by blending up to 3 different materials with the help of advanced Vertex Blending, with full blend controls using the height/displacement data of the materials to ensure realistic blending.
Designed and intended for Cinematics usage.

*Nanite is not strictly necessary for EasyMapper, but tesselation/displacement won’t work if Nanite is disabled on a given model.
*Nanite Displacement/Tessellation will not work with Pathtracing, as Pathtracing does not utilize Nanite.
* Disclaimer: Nanite Tessellation/Displacement does not currently seem to work on Mac or AMD graphics cards as of Unreal Engine 5.3. This is an engine issue, not related to EasyMapper.
