UNREAL ENGINE to UNITY - How to Export Models

In this tutorial I explain how to export 3D assets from Unreal Engine and Into Unity, using the PBR workflows of both engines. We look at the textures used, the ways to export and how to then import these correctly into Unity, after making some conversions in Photoshop or similar. We focus on the standard render pipeline but I mention URP / HDRP and more!

Texture breakdown below:

Unreal Engine 4:
Base Colour – RGB (Base Color) A (Opacity)
OcclusionRoughnessMetallic – R (Mixed AO) G (Roughness) B (Metallic)
Normal – RGB (Normal)
Emission - RGB (Emissive)

Unity Standard (Metallic):
AlbedoTransparancy – RGB (Base Color) A (Opacity)
Metallic Smoothness – RGB (Metallic) A (Glossiness)
Normal – RGB (Normal)
Emission – RGB (Emissive)

Unity HDRP (Metallic):
AlbedoTransparancy – RGB (Base Color) A (Opacity)
Metallic Smoothness – R ( Metallic) G (Mixed AO) B (Default) A (Glossiness)
Normal – RGB (Normal)
Emission – RGB (Emissive)

[phantomcatprojects]

Really liked the way you explained everything in detail
You saved me a ton of time really appreciate it dude

[HeavyMix]

That's a damn great vid right here! Really useful, thanks a lot for sharing.

[yuezhang]

That's awesome, the 5:30 texture baking part is new to me and really helpful, thanks!

[borjanpeovski]

Thanks for the info, I have a lot of free unreal assets piled up from each month and now I can use them in unity.

[wilismatrix]

Waw, , I t have been two months that I qtarted working on unity and struggling to work with the metalic texture until now that I understood how it works..thank you very much

[ShashkingGodforsaken]

So More Importing related tutorials like Animation for example

[Sun-Tzu-]

What if you're trying to export/import something without a skeletal mesh? There is no "bake out materials" option...

[masterdomine]

AWESOMESAUCE!!! Wonderful tutorial as always. It's a lot of steps, but you did a great job of showing how straightforward it can be... _if_ you follow them. No doubt this'll help tons of people.

Two unrelated questions:
1) I've no experience with Unreal, limiting myself to Unity URP. From what I've seen, it seems to me Unreal is optimal for creating high def games, vis-à-vis Unity HDRP. Can it do more URP-type stuff of comparable quality to Unity? Or, is it best served for HDRP-type? (OK, one question in two parts.)
2) Are you Geordie? (I can understand you, so I'm assuming not Midlands :-D)

I have a mask map packer i use in Unity, which saves me from having to do editing in Photoshop. It compiles roughness, metallic, AO, etc into the correct layers. Highly recommend. There is also an option to invert for roughness.

[SpeedTutor]

Lets Unite and export some UNREAL CONTENT together! :D

[robosergTV]

this video is golden, thank you! However for large level packs, where you have a whole level, say a factory, doing each of 100s of props by hand will be a daunting task :(

[sinanarts]

thank you for this tut. Is it possible to transfer a full level I mean a full environment with buldings and plants etc. Just the models no animations..

[GameOnBudget]

we can export whole the (Unreal) Project For Unity or just Textures ?

[KSUBSBEFORE-vhek]

can you do tut on how to export to hdrp???

[GameOnBudget]

can we export a full map ? like prefab from unreal engine to unity ?

[ctfan]

So i've been trying to bake this in unreal 5. the bake material wasn't on the tab but under the asset dropdown. though i can't seem to find the textures after they have supposedly got baked.

[DJjeffer]

how can i do if i have more than 100 3d objects in ue4, is there a way to do it for multiple objects. thanks

[GameDevUE]

So I got a free castle pack from unreal and I'd like to use it in unity, do I need to download unreal engine to export it? Or can I just download the file from epic?

[koke]

thanks a lot, it was a very usefull info, it would be great, apart from this method, a quick way in order to bring tha whole scene to unity3D, instead of exporting every object separetly. Maybe some scripting from the profesionals here :)

[johndouglas]

Would you be making a video for Built In 3d Models Unity asset upgrading to URP or HDRP?
