Atlas Foliage Actor Swap is an Unreal Engine plugin designed to bridge the gap between optimized foliage and fully interactive Blueprint actors.

Build your world using Unreal Engine's efficient foliage system, then dynamically replace selected foliage instances with Blueprint actors when interaction is needed. This makes it ideal for survival games, crafting systems, resource harvesting, destructible environments, and other projects where foliage needs to become interactive.

Instead of placing hundreds or thousands of Blueprint actors throughout a level, developers can continue using optimized foliage while Atlas Foliage Actor Swap handles the transition to interactive actors when required.

Features

• Convert foliage instances into Blueprint actors
• Designed for interactive and harvestable foliage systems
• Data-driven foliage-to-actor mappings
• Map different foliage meshes to different Blueprint classes
• Supports multiple tree and foliage types
• Preserve the original foliage instance transform when spawning an actor
• Maintain optimized foliage until an interactive actor is needed
• Designed for large open-world environments
• Ideal for chopping, harvesting and resource-gathering systems
• Reusable system with no project-specific asset dependencies
• Easy to expand with additional foliage and actor mappings
• Built for Unreal Engine developers creating interactive worlds
• Designed to integrate with existing gameplay systems rather than replace them

Perfect For

Survival games, open-world games, crafting games, resource harvesting, interactive forests, destructible vegetation, and any Unreal Engine project that needs the performance advantages of foliage combined with the functionality of Blueprint actors.

Build with foliage. Interact with actors.

Atlas Foliage Actor Swap gives developers a practical way to keep large environments optimized while still allowing the world to become interactive when gameplay requires it.
