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

[GrekkoGaming]

not working in UE5.0 bro ! impossible to open Unreal, 'cause problem about some parts of the plugin !

[antonioveloy]

Hey Justin. Seems like the developer of that importer has stopped maintaining the app. I am using UE 5.3 and when I try to start it with the Sketchfab folder inside of it I get an error. Any alternatives to this project?

[willsham]

Some models have animation will that be importable as well?

[minusnine]

For anyone trying to get this for the latest version of unreal. It wont work because the latest plugin is for 5 early access not the released version of ue5.

question. When baking the light on glft models i get a weird texture issue. How do I fix the light baking issues for the import

[nishiDigital]

Does anyone know if there is a plugin or work around if using UE 5.03. My understanding is that it is only up to release 5.0EA

[RomeoVideos]

So i got it working but its very limited. I cant see my liked models, search for users, and it feels like it limits the page numbers. Meh at best be different if i could find the models i want easy then i'd say it was worth it

[ramen]

Is there a way to also keep the lighting in sketchfab? Sometimes there’s cool models and rooms with good lighting and i hate that I can’t keep the lighting when importing models…

[autogenes]

The transparency may be because they're open models, rather than full 360° closed ones, not sure though.

Would you comment on sketchfab missing modules plugin unreal on OS? I am trying to activate the plugin but once I do it and restart the engine (in order to activate) the project won't open. Any suggestions?

[lefthander]

Hi, I wondering what to do if I wanna animate a part of the model (for example the "steering wheel" ) because it all comes to UE5 as one asset, how to separate parts, or I won't check the "combine meshes" box to import all separately but I have to rebuilt the hole ship in UE5 after?

[TamiHawkes]

Hi i can't find where installation folder in my files

[TriceYouTube]

I keep getting an error. SKGTLFMaterialBaking etc. can you help me?

[weshootfilms]

it doesn't work probably because im using UE 5.1

[carlos.rovira]

Doesn't work in UE5 just in UE5ea

[davidjohnson]

honestly thought this video would bring answers you can't read for yourself. because I'm having an issue that the website instructions are not helping with but that's all you did was recite the instructions

Another useless video. Time has moved on and things are in different places, renamed or removed or as in this case... the new version is not supported.
