if you use the import into level option under the file tab in the top left you can import using the quick method while preserving the origin points of each mesh (will also generate a blueprint laid out in the same way as the exported scene from blender) 😃

But.. If you want to reimport one of the only one of those meshes, you run into one or more problems. For example, when I reimport a single mesh from the group, UE just crashes. Other people have reported that all meshes combine after reimporting a single mesh. I also think it's time consuming to have to eyeball the position of each mesh or copy the exact world coordinates so it matches the same location it was in Blender. Imagine doing archviz this way. We need to have access to both local and world coordinates when adding a mesh to the editor window.

Man I'm glad I subbed to you, you're always posting stuff I'm interested in 👍👍

This has got to be one of the most useful tricks I've come across in a whole month. Thank you for this gem!!!

Thank you so much for the help! i was having lots of trouble with this but eventually i retraced my steps and realized I wasnt selecting the object in blender along with the fact that I wasn't clicking the "limit to selected objects" box. gosh these 3d softwares are difficult.

straight to favorites my dude, thanks

i've seen this video a total of 4 diff times. i think its time i finally get started lol. thank you for taking time out to make this for beginners like me! thank you 100x!

Very cool tips, dope! thx a lot~

Very useful, thank you

Awesome video dude, gained a new sub!

thank you, precise

I have been trying to use models from blender and CC3, exporting them to Unreal, i always get an error or warning about smoothing. Thank god you mentioned it. All the video tutorials ive watched have skipped over this.

Thanks so much for this video, a great help...cheers 😎👍

Thanks for Archviz the fbx with world origin is very practical THank you! I love this tutorial!

This is an amazing video thank you

nice video thank you! are you gonna do any videos re USD please? this could be awesome for transferring over whole scenes from Blender to UE5, i think its a little buggy at the moment, but once they iron out the kinks re USD it might be a game changer!

I haven't tried it yet. I believe you. But, It is ashame that you cannot, during your second process, select the first and then last Mesh in the Content Browser and drag it into your scene to re-create the exact placement(s) as in Blender. Gosh, I think I'd rather just re-center the origin point manually than have to reassemble my scene. There used to be way to do this via Blueprints, but I am uncertain if in UE5 they did away with it. Good video. Thanks.

I don't know Unreal but I know this sort of software. No one would ever reassemble their scene manually. It's ridiculous. There is a better way. I don't know what that better way is, but I know it exists.

Would love to see more Unreal Engine 5 Tutorials.

Thank you

Is there a way to make the origin of the object the bottom left for each mesh so that you can use procedural building generators with them? Or would I need to do that with each each individually?

THANK YOU! Written in capital to emphasis the meaning. Truly thank you.

this was helpful

With exporting as USD you getting the best of both world. Right pivot point + scene placements. But its unfortunately still in Beta in Unreal and Textures/Materials + Material Slots are not transferred properly and the Scale is off. Maybe in the future this gets fixed or maybe in combination with Omniverse from Nvidia it will be easier to transfer assets seemlessley in realtime. 😏

If you don't see build nanite on the very first part of this tutorial when he imports the FBX you might have to uncheck bake animations in your blender FBX export...

thank's bro!

Thanks for the video! Dude is there a way to render a scene that I imported to Unreal Engine? Because 3ds max or blender will take a lot of time doing this process!

Hi i exported everything using the first method, then i dragged it all on viewport, keeping all selected you go to Details > Transform > Location and set everything to 0,0, you'll see all objects go into the same exact location you had on blender.

more video about UE please

Question. What if I realize I wanna change something after? Do I have to export it back to blender, fix it, export back to UE?

is there no pivot point recalculation based on the geometry density in UE like there is in blender?

This video just gained you a SUB from me!! Im new to UE and i need all the help i can find to bring my massive scene from Blender to UE. DO you have a Discord by chance?

Thank you +

I LOVE YOU ❤🙏

More marvelous designer tut

Let's say if I export the Blender file into a FBX, and if you wanted to redesign or add more to the mesh, can I go back into the Blender File and do just that then export it as a FBX again? Or is it just a one time thing?

I am honest, I was super triggered to see you not setting the pivots right in the first method before exporting. Nice tutorial, crisp and clean.

Amazing

If I have an animated physics from blender can I import the bake and everything to the unreal workspace ?

Hey as I imported my mesh to Unreal, its inside normals were invisible. Any help please.

Do you recommand render via UE5 over blender? I always feel the render result from blender too plasticky, now I see the result from UE5 is like, wow.

Can anyone help me with something whenever I import something into unreal from blender usually it doesn’t render all the way so I have these transparent parts of my object and I don’t want them. Please help me I’m trying to make a game.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB! also, there should be a quick function in unreal to snap origin to center of geometry or smthn...

the import button is greyed out and i cant click it but it might be becuase im working in uefn

Great video! Sadly when i importet my scene lots of Textures were missing. Also.. what happens to procedural stuff? Do i have to unwrap the object and bake it bevore briging the scene to UE5?

same. it does not works for all the materials. I dont know how to do it quick

just one question, the textures need to be baked?

Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for, extremely helpful I have a few characters with complex rigs that work in conjunction with wrinkle maps. I’m looking to transfer them to Unreal Engine for use with motion capture. I need the wrinkle maps and their corresponding mask image maps, as well as topology, nodes, drivers, shape keys and UV layout to stay the same. Is there a way to transfer all of these components in Blender to Unreal Engine and have the same character and rig in Unreal? For instance when I open the character in Unreal Engine, will all of those components have transferred or will I need to redo them? Forgive my lack of knowledge in Unreal Engine, I’m not familiar with it.

Yo. Did you make this objects? Amazing 👏

Same thing here! did you find a way to solve it? Would be very useful!

The problem with the second method is that then you will have to re arrange and manually place everything again in unreal. Unreal's transforming tools and snapping tools are terrible. There is however an addon made by epic where you can export all your scene into unreal and have the pivots translate into unreal also

No need to re arrange mesh position if you link all your mesh to an empty in Blender and export it.

How did you get the texture to import? I am having issue with texture from blender to unreal.

What are your pc specs

just out of curiosity. If you wanted to import the meshes with the correct origin point, but without screwing the original position. Could you not export the scenary as alembic and animate from the world origin to the scenary position? You may then extract the objects at the start of the frame, if you need to build more scenary, and then let the animation propagate the other objects.

for some reason when i import the asset, it doesn't bring the textures with it, so i get a white asset.

I wish they'd just extend support to another file type rather than using the FBX type which changes like every year for the sole purpose of making exportation difficult...

Someone can be better at modeling in Blender, so it's just faster to make something in Blender. Then he can just do the rest in UE5

There just doesnt seem to be a proper way to import things from blender to unreal. I always come across several issues. The way youve just shown here makes the materials change everytime I press play in unreal. Using gltf makes the size of the meshes all fcked up and I have to rearrange everything again. And joining every mesh in blender then importing with gltf makes the smoothing all fcked up. I just cant believe that its so hard to import stuff, afterall its alrdy unreal engine 5. there must be an easier way

OR! "just select all object in blender>presss shift-cntrl-alt-c> set origin to geometry" That sets all objects origin to its centre of mass without changing its location, rotation, scale Thanks me later🤗

Careful headphone users: 7:03

Unreal is the absolute killer 3D engine, but the editor and the fbx import is the biggest crap I have ever seen. They should have a look at Unity where Blender integration works seamlessly.

USD is a better format
