The Quick and Easy Blender to Unreal Workflow

[@kelit_]

to complete your cool tips, the official send2ue blender add-on developed by epic makes it even easier, it's a one click export directly from blender to unreal, with auto renaming, auto face smooth, auto "SM_" renaming ... great tool to use

[@lei.1.6]

ok

[@HATL201]

But what if I want my imported objects to keep their position that was set in Blender? I can't find any way to do that using the send to unreal addon. For example I'm working on a floorplan, and if I want to bring my windows/doors in unreal, I'll have to reposition and place them inside Unreal and it's extremely tedious.

​@@HATL201 i made a video how to place all the objects in active level in Unreal and keep object origins from blender and some other settings no one mentions about the S2UE Addon

[@BooneyTune]

I will highly recommend this video for anyone who hasn't seen it. 👀

Seems like they abandonned it because their github project is a 404

[@justindavis2013]

An even easier way to bring in updated meshes is just to find the asset in the content browser in unreal, right click it and choose "Reimport from new file." This will update all of the instances of the asset.

Didnt work. All of my images are missing color.

FBX is not the quickest and easiest way. Fbx tends to cause a lot of issues with materials. USD is the easiest and fastest way to get your scenes into unreal.

[@muhsinhameed5446]

I heard usd currently causes corruption to project files. Have you faced anything like that while using it?

[@foxxdgd443]

fbx just fucked up my textures rn, you might be right 💀

[@oxenwolfproductions-oficia8522]

Right, but it often corrupts my projects

[@srmono]

Your videos are great. Thx for all the info!

[@jomesias]

The issue I got is I’m trying to export auto building assets that are generated with Geometry nodes 😢😢

[@laksesvela1059]

Hey! This video is great, but i am encountering a problem. In my scene I have instance duplicated a bunch of objects (alt+D). When i imported the scene all of these objects stack on top of each other not giving me the same positions as in the blender scene. Also all my meshes come out as skeletal? Any help would be appreciated

[@billyhuddy101]

Everytime I try to export my model it only exports the materials. Any fixes?

[@rowerowynomada2158]

Why do I get so many errors when importing?

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

I see you`re an experienced UE5 user. I`ve got a somewhat general question, as I`m total noob in UE5, I followed a big course from Unreal Sensei, specifically aimed for Blender users. I worked on my laptop for a few months, it`s all good, but then I came back to my main PC, transferred my project, loaded it and was surprised my PC can`t handle it at all. My laptop has a bit newer video card but everything else is better on my PC. I`m not sure what to do. Is there something quick I can do in UE settings? But not Nanites or Lumen. Anyway, your advice is appreciated

[@NicoLinde]

Well I dont't know the specs of your PC but in my experience a good graphics card in a Laptop is still better than a bad one in a PC. Is it only this specific project or is it a general performance thing?

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

@@NicoLinde If I start a fresh scene, it`s ok. The project I created during tutorial is not so heavy. just a terrain with a bit of megascanned objects and animated flowers, also megascanned

[@NicoLinde]

@@insertanynameyouwant5311 Animated foilage usually takes up a lot of vram. Maybe that's it 🤷‍♂ But to answer your first question, I don't know of any quick fixes for this issue.

@@NicoLinde ok, thanks

[@H11e7]

thank u so muc u helped me

[@nexttestpro6590]

Hello! Do you have knowledge in 3dsMax? If so, could you bring some tutorials for us? Thanks for the videos!

[@sertac6588]

hi nico, so what if i want to upload another scene that includes the objects I uploaded before?

[@NicoLinde]

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Do you want to "reuse" certain objects in another Unreal project?

[@Archpuzzle]

Goood tutorial! One thing - how to export this way with custom collision box for an each object?

[@zakaria20062]

right now the easiest is USD staging can avoid all this troubles

[@sakilakhtar]

OMG your pc smoothly run more than 13 millions triangles. My laptop hang after 400K traingles.

Ironically I'm using a MacBook Pro with an M1 Max chip :D
