Bridge is now a part of Unreal Engine 5 Early Access

As of Unreal Engine 5 Early Access, Bridge is now part of the Unreal Engine UI and opens up as a tab right within the engine. Drag and drop the latest Megascans content directly into your project without ever having to switch apps or download and export an asset to Unreal Engine.

Cool! Do you think there will be a option to add my own content into Bridge? I have a lot of projects and I'm constantly migrating objects, sounds and shaders, but it's such a pain! I love how easy Bridge makes drag and dropping things into my projects. Being able to create my own content library using Bridge would be amazing! thanks : )

I try it and it works great, especially when dragging and dropping an asset into the current scene - pure ecstasy, but I was disappointed that Bridge doesn't find my already loaded assets, even if I manually set the destination folder. This is probably because Bridge changed the structure of the assets and master shader folders, but the prospect of reloading the entire library I recently used makes me sad, and also the fact that displacement is not included in the shader by default.

[@RandomRotation]

that's super cool!!

[@user-iw1bd1ld3i]

Yessssssss! Thanks 😊

[@remon563]

awesome! Could we in the future get the ability to have custom channel packing directly from the Bridge? We are currently channel packing the Normals, AO(multiplied with Spec), Height into 1 map. This saves roughly 50% of textures being used.

[@avistryfe4534]

Yea. But why would someone make anything in unreal5 for non commercial use? I guess if you like making special scenes for christmas cards or posters or something?

How to properly export foliage 3D assets into Nanite? With 3D models we have "Nanite" export option but there is no "Nanite"options in foliage (for example grass clumbs).

Why there are missing categories like Atlases in Bridge plugin for unreal engine 5? I need to manually download them with the bridge app and then need to add them manually because bridge app doesnt support ue5.

@@TRABITY I looked at the documentation and it says that it should just be there or under plugins. Neither of which work :( I guess we will just have to wait for an update

[@pavledin]

I couldn't figure it out either, but the solution is to go to the Library tab in the Launcher, and in the Vault section search for Bridge - it should pop up and you should be able to install it into 5.0A. Credit to SnackDragon on the official forums for pointing it out.

Hi, for the people where it not showing up in Plugins in Unreal Editor > Make sure you installed it in /Engine/Plugins/ folder. If you see the Plugin in the folder but not in Editor, delete Plugin and go to Bridge and go to top-left corner "Edit". "Export Settings" install it again. Somehow it will work now. :p

I cant get any of my custom textures/materials to appear on the Bridge inside UE5, they are on Bridge if open by itself. Does anybody know a solution to import them?

[@Mr_Tokon]

It has to be intimidating for developers to use mega scans. Since the quality is so high, their own assets will stand out as inferior.

[@Skyflairl2p]

If the art direction of your project is photorealistic, then you (or the teams artist/designer) should be able to create photorealistic assets to begin with lol. Quixel is the perfect suite for reference on how to make your own 3d assets, with tools like zbrush and blender together with mixer you can easily achieve the same level of detail. It just takes time to do. Or you can go out and use a decent phone/camera to do photogrammetry. In either case if your goal is to match quixel's quality, you should be able to do so.
