Spawn and Manage PCG Biome

BP_Biome — Spawns biomes such as forests, meadows, deserts, and fields, depending on the assets you own, while also managing biome intersections. It’s flexible and efficient, offering adjustable parameters and multiple presets stored in Data Tables. For more details, see Biome Presets.

Data Table Dropdown
Biome presets and parameters are stored in data tables. For more info visit Biome Presets.
Row Name Dropdown
Biomes offer multiple presets, such as "Dense Forest", "Dead Forest", or "Forest with Meadows". Select the preset you want to use here.
Biome Quality Dropdown
Defines the biome generation quality level. This setting influences foliage density, draw distance, WPO usage, shadowing behavior, and global illumination. High preset targets ~60–70 FPS on an RTX 4090 at 4K resolution with 50% Epic scalability. The Cinematic preset uses the same foliage density as High, but without mesh culling. Lowest disables WPO.
