# Setup and Using Nanite Displacement

Documentation on how to use Nanite Displacement with LMT. This is for legacy versions of the Landscape Material Tool before the 2.0 update.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is only for Plugin Version 1.2 and UE5.3+
{% endhint %}

## Enabling Nanite Displacement/Tessellation

Navigate to and open your "**DefaultEngine.ini**" file within your projects config folder.

Within the "**DefaultEngine.ini**" add these two lines under `[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]`

```
r.Nanite.AllowTessellation=1
r.Nanite.Tessellation=1
```

Save the file and close.

Restart your editor.

## Using Nanite Displacement/Tessellation in LMT

Two new parameters have been added to the "Landscape Material Parameters" drop down show here:

These two parameters control the entire nanite displacement system within the landscape material.

* Magnitude: Essentially what it does is control the "Intensity" of the displacement.
* Center: This controls the center point from the heightmap 0-1 value.

## Enabling Nanite on your Landscape

Navigate to and select your landscape actor within the world outliner.

Within the details panel there will be a dropdown called "**Nanite**".

Click the "**Build Data**" button and wait for the process to complete.

Once completed you should see some nice displacement on your landscape material!
