Vegetation Asset List Component

Use the Vegetation Asset List component to combine your vegetation assets into reusable asset lists. Configure Vegetation Asset Descriptors, asset-specific settings that are only used when the asset is spawned from this component’s vegetation layer. Create Vegetation Descriptor Lists in the Asset Editor or define them in the component interface.
