Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial - Blender Exporter - Instanced Static Mesh Exporter [2/4]

[@nijq]

Great video series. Thank you!! Not sure but I think "obj.rotation_euler.x" returns radians, so you have to also "import math" and then convert with "math.degrees(obj.rotation_euler.x)".

[@renderbucket]

This is a very good point. You are right, rotation euler will return radians. I was transferring over my code from Maya for this so I think I overlooked that in Blender. Thank you for the correction!

[@espen990]

I got into the same issue, but I solved it by adding three "radians to degrees" nodes in the rotation connections between the "break" and "make transform" nodes in the UE5 construction script (shown in the next video).

import bpy import csv selection = [obj for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects if obj.type == 'MESH'] col = ['', 'id', 'tx', 'ty', 'tz', 'rx', 'ry', 'rz', 'sx', 'sy', 'sz'] with open('C:\ISMExporter\data.csv', 'w', newline='') as f: writer = csv.writer(f) writer.writerow(col) for idx, obj in enumerate(selection): data = [] data.append(idx) data.append(idx) data.append(obj.location.x) data.append(obj.location.y) data.append(obj.location.z) data.append(obj.rotation_euler.x) data.append(obj.rotation_euler.y) data.append(obj.rotation_euler.z) data.append(obj.scale.x) data.append(obj.scale.y) data.append(obj.scale.z) writer.writerow(data) del data

thank you

yay, I'm the first to comment! Anyway, thanks for this scripting tutorial. It opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. Seriously!

[@richardmetellus2336]

hmm could i hypothetically do this for a light sources? as in using this method to have unreal place lights that i have in my blender scene

[@chadyonfire7878]

hey great work bud , can we get the exporter ready from u , would help a lot

[@GG-James-E]

Great video!

[@sinonimos1790]

Thank you very much, it's awesome. Very useful👌

[@学习之旅]

Thank you for the sharing🙂

[@hanneswerner]

Great video, However I was wondering, does this also work for Instances created with Geometry Nodes in Blender? And could it work for animated instances? Any idea how to do that?

i´m trying it rn and am failing hardcore:D

[@jamaalsineke2405]

Hi Mr Bucket, amazing tutorial. I'm really new to Unreal and coding in general. my question is this Python export function version reliant? Can I write this for blender 4 or was this coded with Blender 3 in mind?

[@Fingle]

That would depend on whether the blender python syntaxes has changed at all. For something as simple as this (just grabbing the selection, and copying basic metadata) I highly doubt there will be any issues. But if there are any issues, it's nothing chatgpt won't fix in a few seconds 😅

@@Fingle Thanks for your prompt reply I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me

@@jamaalsineke2405 baaah, Im just passing through and saw it was a recent comment. Good luck with your Unreal and coding journey!
