Unreal Engine Tools For Blender Released!! ( ++ Getting Started Tutorial)

The Blender Tools for Unreal Engine have been released and in this video we are going to look at the process of exporting your Blender content, with animations and textures, to Blender. After of course we look at how to install and configure the tools.

I don't about you but this is definitely in my eyes one huge step towards Blender becoming Industry standard

The first 7 and a half minutes of this is like the best most concise basic blender tutorial and covers the basics thoroughly and quickly and I'll be referring to this as a good blender cheatsheet for the workflow!

I've been waiting for this since their stream back in feb on the unreal channel. Very happy, can't wait to download!

I like the idea that now even more parts of the asset modeling can be made outside Unreal so less and less work is forced to be done under Unreal, "trapping" assets and limiting migration options.
It also reduces the learning curve (upfront commitment) to Unreal if someone already knows how to rig and animate in Blender.

Thanks for always posting great content.

One thing you didn't appear to cover, that seemed to be in the Unreal Fest video is that if you have an Unreal session and Blender session running simultaneously, changes (at least to the mesh) made in Blender can be sent over to Unreal with a single import click and be immediately reflected in the Unreal session. Apologies if I have misinterpreted this though.

"exporting your Blender content, with animations and textures, to Blender."

Hmm

[joshualuciani]

When it comes to scene scale, you have to have the scale set before you create an object. So what I did was delete everything, set the scene scale then start working from there. I believe you can Ctrl+A and apply scale if you change the scene scale while the object still exists. As much as Blender is a great tool it's still a nightmare importing in to UE4 even with this tool a little.

FOR GOD SAKE - - AT LAST!!! This was like waiting FOREVER!!!

[IIIspirit]

YES! - This will make my life much easier

(Author of Mr Mannequins Tools here) Why is it that everywhere Blender Tools get's mentioned... Mr Mannequins pops up to say hello hahaha

[phantomapprentice]

YES! Thanks for letting us know about this Mike

[Kinos]

Another thing, in the prefs, change the forward direction to X axis for export. The asset puts it on -Y like this asset wasn't written by people who work there.

Scale issues are due to Unit of Measure. Blender by default uses metres and UE uses centimetres. Change Blender to use CM as it's units.

Can't wait to dive in to this. Thanks for the vids!
