ISM Toolkit | UE5 Plugin for Instancing & World Partition
A UE5 editor plugin for converting Static Mesh Actors into ISM and
HISM components, with first-class support for World Partition
streaming. You can pick ISM or HISM manually, or let the plugin
choose automatically per asset (Nanite meshes go to ISM, LOD
geometry to HISM). Reverse conversion is also supported.
The main feature is Split by Runtime Grid. The plugin groups
instances by World Partition runtime grid cell, keeping one actor
per cell for ideal streaming granularity. This significantly reduces
total actor count and gives the level streaming system clean,
predictable boundaries. Different grids are handled in the same pass,
so props and architecture can be packed into their own cells and
streamed independently.
Batch mode lets you process huge selections at once, so an entire
city or open-world chunk can be optimized in a single pass instead
of asset by asset. You can scope the batch by Volume, by selection,
or by folder. The plugin UI is dockable into any part of the UE5
editor, and is tested for stability and performance on
production-scale scenes.
Works on UE5.4 and above.
