Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

[@thowps3]

guiri, para qué pones el título en español??

[@shinjik4797]

Thank you for great info! This addon will help me a lot. Is that a real import? What if I close my Blender, it still stays in Unreal Engine and can be saved in it?

[@jamshidm2218]

Can we export blender camera as well with this method ?

[@imbelugaandimacat9375]

I'm having issues with UV wrapping in unreal engine, can you help me?

[@Papa24567]

its saying cant detect import type. no mesh or animation is found

[@stepovyk01]

Thank you for the video. I've found there is new version of this add on, and want to ask you for making tutorial for this. There are revolutional changes. Your tutorials are the best I've ever watched! Best wishes!

[@user-yr2kw3dz2x]

Thanks to you, I solved the problem. You are my hero!

[@HaoZatori]

THANK YOU FROM MEXICO, I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH AND I COULDN'T FIND SOLUTIONS IN SPANISH, THE VIDEO WAS PRECISE AND CLEAR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@mauriceshapero7200]

Thank you for another great video. I've just made the transition from 3ds Max to Blender and wondered if there's a Datasmith plugin for Blender?

[@jwalsh5764]

great video thanks

[@hazargulhan9682]

Hello! Thanks for the tutorial.
Every time when I push assets to update the model, modifications I already made on Unreal Engine get lost. I wonder if there is a way for us to update the model without messing up with material/UV settings we modified on Unreal engine.

[@kendarr]

Thanks bud.

[@duirk]

y se puede tambien enviar las camaras de el proyecto de blender a unreal engine 5?

[@Pneumanon]

What an annoying process to download the add-on. Thanks for walking us through it. Does this supersede the Datasmith method of exporting from Blender to Unreal?

[@imiy]

9:00 but does it export will via regular fbx export?
i find whatever way i use it seems not to be able to export glass materials

[@Znop]

Thank you so much, this makes the workflow so much easier - especially now that UE5 has abandoned texture displacement

[@TheRealTimeEssentials]

Well...I think it's more complicated than that. I think that they've noted an interest in handling displacement using Nanite, but I don't think that's been implemented yet - it's kind of why we HAVE preview versions though

[@Znop]

@@TheRealTimeEssentials yeah I know in the long run Nanite will be a much better option for development, but having no proper replacement is a massive downsize when trying to get used to UE5 before it’s fully released.

[@hotsauce7124]

Hello, how do you export a camera from Blender 4 into UE5?

[@AlexGarza304]

Help I'm only getting an "Export" folder in blender after installing the plugin. I don't see the other collections I'm supposed to put the blender file in

How to exports a charater with skin material and cloths applied in blender to unreal, if armature or rig is also shows it will be helpful

it gives a eror. what should i do?

[@Mr1stVN]

how to center pivot point mesh when use send4unreal ?

[@williampitts3768]

Omg ive watched probably 10 different tutorials for importing blender to UE5 this is the 1st video that said anything about having to download an add on for it. I wish if people where making beginning tutorials. They would actually make it for beginners.

[@williampitts3768]

Thank you racked my brains trying to figure this out 1st actual useful video for me

[@smoke_ttg4842]

That option to allow changes in the python menu ... helpful . |LOL

[@sulivarace7138]

It's crazy how many tutorials you have to watch to properly export these creations from Blender to Unrteal Engine 5.
I'm mainly looking to export my materials more precisely, shader editor content.
For send you unreal, it works well for simple things as it shows in the tutorial but it is ineffective for more complex materials with a lot of nodes as well as more complex meshes with a lot of elements.
It has the same problems as the export in FBX which is normal since it is based on the same format.
In short, if you have a good link for the correct export, send them, thank you.

[@endo9863]

Ima need this as well lol

[@cesarsarmientojr.5269]

great tutorial. maybe pin the material issue once someone figures it out. :)

[@damiencesure2848]

Thanks a lot for this video, I tested this add-on, it seems to work well, but I have bugs and problems when I switch to Unreal, it missing faces on my house, is my modelling not clean enough?

[@TheRealTimeEssentials]

No idea - does it work with less complex geometry?

[@damiencesure2848]

Many thanks for your reply, in fact i have forgotten to edit the normals (alt + n). Now it works, but sometimes i need re-instal the plugin on Blender. (The switch doesn't works).

[@Navity_]

Hey, the add on doesnt make any folders (newer version 2.3.1 now). and also doesnt have the "import to unreal engine" option under the pipeline window. Maybe there is an update to the workflow of this now?

[@itsdw2323]

I have the same problem

[@madeeasy7148]

@@itsdw2323 Same issue

[@shadesmadness4399]

interesting stuff but I'm having some issues with it. I followed the steps and linked everything up, downloaded and installed the addon but it only created an "export" collection on my blender folders. Once I get a mesh in there and click pipeline, sent to unreal it states that there is nothing inside the export collection and nothing happens. Anyone else having this issue and/or found a solution?

[@shadesmadness4399]

Nevermind the issue had to do with how I had named the mesh. Issue solved

[@Loan3D]

@@shadesmadness4399 I have the same issue and I can't manage to export the blender file on Unreal Engine 5 I don't know why...

[@StaxKarratGang]

I keep getting a need unreal skeleton path error

[@trapsinceo6511]

Thanks Neil Patrick Harris / Kumar

[@DysphoricGreens]

So they removed this addon! Any tips???? :D

[@comfijoshi6043]

You've got to sign into epic games link your account with your github account and then go to the add on download page.

[@thowps3]

éste quién es?? el que dobla personajes de los simpsons??

[@tinman3000]

Thank you for the tutorial! I'm having an issue with the Extreme PBR materials not exporting though... is there any way to get them to work?
