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

In UE5.4+ there has been a Nanite Displacement Enable toggle added.

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

  • Center: This controls the center point from the heightmap 0-1 value.
