this is how tutorials should be. very well paced and explained everything. but a beginners knowledge is needed of unreal to understand what he is doing. kudos man. ran into your channel via searching for datasmith. and best part is you took a small object to explain everything. otherwise people just start with a scene and beginners are lost in that.

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Thank you

[@vjaygroup8759]

Yes, great tutorial. Thanks a lot for sharing. I'm a beginner, learning a new software the best way is full work flow for a project like this, no need to search for every "how to do this or that" with each step.

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Great to hear!

Is it anyway to transfer the color ink stylized render also

[@shivamkatiyar4885]

Hi thanks for this detailed tutorial it’s really helpful. I wanna know one thing as you got instance material at 12:30 of leaf. How would you get the instance material while exporting from datasmith as while exporting from 3ds max only node maps will come and then we need to convert it into instance material but in your video you directly get the instance material. Did you created before instance material of same leaf and kept it separately?

Hello! When I import file from 3dsmax to ue5, every is ok, until I make a sequencer, the model from 3ds max didn't show on the movie .Do you know how to fix it, thank you?

[@IllGib]

Hi and thanks for the video. I see you're exporting meshes and materials only, but let say i have a scene with a short flytrough animation made in 3Ds Max and Corona, Datasmith will export all the cameras movements and Corona Sky and Sun aswell if i select Cameras and Lights? Or do i'll have to rebuild both in UE? I wanna give it a try if it takes less time rendering those animations, but i don't wanna lose days fiddling amongs materials settings ans such, thanks!

[@benz.1730]

I get in UE5.1 only black metall, when using the "glossiness"-workflow. Doesn't datasmith handle this?

[@kirmanjazad7451]

hi great tutorial thank you, but please did you unwrap the model to the second channel in 3ds max? and did you simply flatten mapping or just manually did the unwrapping process ,, thankyou again..

[@dragolord14]

Don't work when i want export 3d studio max files to unreal engine i don't have unreal datasmith

[@tio776]

should be visible on your top ribbon on later max versions... took me a while. Don't know they removed the original functionality and just keep both.

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Do you find solution?

[@nakshatraparekh4921]

i can't apply HDRI 6:05 what can i do can you say ?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

What exactly you do?

[@brianlivachof2522]

Hi! If i work with 3dmax and vray is recomended use vray into unreal? Or is okey using only datasmith and then setting the lighting in unreal?

[@katatonix]

Thank you very much

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

You are welcome!

[@quentinbadmathafaka2796]

wow nice tut bud.... I would love to see you making and interior series( with settings and menus explained). and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the 3d community. We really appreciate that.

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Thanks, will do!

[@albertusbodenstein1976]

I see Redshit and Arnold textures are not supported.. what renderer did you use in your scene, before exporting it as DataSmith? ~Thanks for the TUT!

[@albertusbodenstein1976]

Dont give me a hearted comment!! Give me an answer! 😟

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Hello, it's Corona Renderer

[@estebanjaramillo9149]

@@ArhiTeachCGSchool It didnt work with corona for me, what can i do to export with textures?

[@yusuferoglu1381]

Which system you’re using? You doing all with parallels app on macOS?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Nope, it's everything in Windows

[@MrMonteroso]

WoAoW.. I won't need to do alll these details in lumion... I don't know why they consider lumion less better than other programs?!

[@georgeneverland896]

Best in class content. Do you not prefer re-doing shaders by yourself? The datasmith ones are often messy and also too complex.

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Thx! Yep, Datasmith is a good tool, but manual work is always better

[@marerubrum]

Happy that, your voice changed to normal person. Good job btw👍🏻

unreal is so difficult

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

True, but you are able to learn it easily😊

[@00715Kukku]

Make a basic video to understand unreal first because it has lots of menus

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Good idea, I will
