## What it is
An MIT-licensed Unreal Engine 5 plugin providing a high-performance component for rendering runtime-generated and runtime-modified geometry. It replaces ProceduralMeshComponent and DynamicMeshComponent with a stream-based mesh data layer, LODs, collision, and async updates.

## Use cases
- generate procedural voxel terrain at runtime in Unreal Engine
- load OBJ or user-supplied 3D models at runtime
- build and edit meshes every frame with low overhead
- migrate ProceduralMeshComponent code to a faster renderer
- create Nanite-ready meshes from procedural data without baking
- get correct Lumen GI and SDFs on dynamic meshes
- replicate runtime mesh data to late-joining multiplayer clients

## When to choose
- you need to render or modify geometry at runtime in UE 5.5-5.8
- ProceduralMeshComponent or DynamicMeshComponent is too slow for your vertex counts
- you want runtime Nanite, Lumen cards, or SDF generation for dynamic meshes
- you need Blueprint and C++ APIs with collision and NavMesh support

## When to avoid
- your project targets Unreal Engine 4 or UE 5.0-5.4 with the latest release
- you only need static meshes cooked at build time
- you need spatial streaming, compute providers, or replication without the paid Pro edition

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, simulation, game-engine
- domain: graphics, simulation
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: unreal-engine, procedural-generation, runtime-mesh, nanite, lumen, ue5-plugin, blueprint, collision, game-development, linux, macos
