In the previous release of Unreal Studio, some of you asked for the ability to edit imported meshes within Unreal Engine itself. Another option is to use metadata to display relevant information as part of a run-time experience when a particular mesh is selected.ĭatasmith for SketchUp is introduced in Unreal Studio 4.20 with all the features you’d expect: automatic translation of cameras, materials, and geometry into Unreal Engine assets, auto-normal detection, support for layers, groups, components, units, scale, pivot points and instances, and of course, metadata exposure within Unreal Engine. A Python script can find all meshes of a specific type, for example all hinges or door knobs, and simplify them all the same way. This exposure of metadata within Unreal Engine makes various workflows possible. Datasmith for SketchUp and some CAD importers also bring in per-object metadata. User Defined Object Properties from 3ds Max are brought over to Unreal Engine with Datasmith, whether populated manually in 3ds Max or from data imported from Revit. Now, when you re-import due to a change in your source data, changes you’ve made in Unreal Engine are maintained. In the previous release, Datasmith didn’t keep track of parameters you changed after importing data into Unreal Engine. Plus a slew of additional improvements like CAD two-pass import, per-object tessellation, MDL support, extensible Python script for LODs, and more!Ĭhanges to scenes made in Unreal Editor are now retained and reapplied as needed during re-import. Unreal Studio 4.20 builds on the original suite of tools to bring you these key features: Previous versions of Unreal Studio introduced plugins for 3ds Max export/import, and tools to import data directly from 20+ CAD programs to Unreal Engine. Unreal Studio is Epic’s suite of tools for importing 3D models from DCCs to Unreal Engine. Unreal Studio 4.20 beta is now available! This new version, the result of months of feedback from our beta users, is chock-full of great new features to make export, import, and editing in Unreal Engine easier and faster than ever. By Ken Pimentel Editor's note: With the release of Unreal Engine 4.24, all Unreal Studio features have been rolled into Unreal Engine.
