To be honest this video is a hidden gem in RUclips for those who want to change pivot point of assets without going through Blender or any other app outside of Unreal Engine. First of all, it saves a lot of time from imports to exports of the assets. And secondly you don't have to trouble yourself to mess up while using the Blender and other apps. Thank you for this amazing and helpful video.
Wow thanks, an actual answer after pages and pages of "JUST CHANGE MESH IMPORT TRANSFORM SETTINGS." Yeah, works great when you don't have the original to reimport.
you did it man, after following 7 others you were the only one that had a working method! i was having trouble making the wheels on my tape recorder spin right but you fixed it thank you!
im using ue5 for over a year now and thought that ue dont got this feature I always did the workaround within Maya/Blender and it was extremly annoying thanks so much for this this is what i wanted all day
I got it on Amazon! It’s called the Casper Glow I think! It’s like a morning light alarm and reading night light that gets brighter or darker over time based on how you configure it! I love it!
Unreal recommendation is that you have at least 8GB VRAM in your graphics card and at least 16-32GB RAM. I have a laptop that I use that has a 2600RTX 6GB VRAM and 32GB but my main PC runs 64GB RAM and a 3090RTX with 24GB VRAM.
@@owenjenkinsofficial Thks. for the answer . Btw, I try to download your trees, and do the process , this appears : " Plant Models Vol 60 has been removed from your cart because it can no longer be purchased. Please contact us if you need assistance.".. : ( -- Can I get these models from Chaos in 3Ds max ?
@MauroMan_ I’m not sure if you can get this specific tree anymore from MaxTree. But I do think MaxTree still has at least one sample pack of I’m not mistaken. You have to set the shaders up yourself with the FBX if you want to use them in unreal but they are really good looking. Otherwise I’d just use the new Megascans trees, 🌴 as there are a few really well done assets and they have animations and procedural wind as well that makes them pretty amazing.
This solves half my problem. I can center it, but the rotation is off. Can I rotate the pivot to match the angle of my asset not just center it on the asset.
I may not be understanding correctly but you can click center, and then drag the rotation gizmo into alignment with your needed rotational position. I have not had any issues achieving a fairly useful result with this. If not, Can you not split the action into two steps, set to center. Then edit again and adjust rotation? Or do it in another software if it’s a more complex issue.
You have to enable it in the plugins tab. Type “modeling”, it might be listed as beta or something but those are it. Check the box, restart and you should see it!
True! I just wanted to highlight how to do this quickly without the hassle of reimporting or using other software because in blender I can move my origin whenever I am working of if I need and it’s moving I’m doing a project solely in unreal it’s nice to know how to do it if I need. But there is no wrong way to do it technically! 🙂
@@owenjenkinsofficial every asset in the instance has the correct privet when selected separately, but when I go to place the instance in the world, the privet is at an angle and can not be changed
Does anyone know how to fix a problem that happens after this, object start to pop in to correct location only when I am near enough, how to change that? This happens to me only after using pivot correction like this method
That’s very odd 🧐 I never had this happen once it’s applied with the modeling tools. I’ve had this problem when I only do the right click and change the pivot point. Sounds like a glitch but you’d have to do some Google searches and maybe Reddit has an answer.
@owenjenkinsofficial thank you for your answer. Only option I found is to export as fbx and change pivot in another program. Maybe it's because I use 5.1 not 5.3 I don't know why, it looks veird and the bigger is object farther away it actually keeps the place, but still if you go far enough, it jumps in to position that it would have with the old pivot.
Haha I have been known to mispronounce things on occasion when distracted or focused on something else 😅 thanks tho, I do hope it was useful instruction!

Glad to hear!
Legend, literally could not get my gizmos to save in new location until now. Many thanks!
I look for this for hours and I finally found it! You got another subscriber. Thank you!
Glad you found the solution! Welcome to the community!
Great method man! 😄 Didn't think about the Modeling Mode
Absolute legend!!! I spent an hour trying to stop my custom door pivoting in the centre..was driving me mad!!!!
Glad this helped!
im using ue5 for over a year now and thought that ue dont got this feature

thanks so much for this this is what i wanted all day
This right here is a blessing
I have this exact problem right now, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. This video is brilliant!
I still used the manual method until today, thanks for sharing this is exactly what I looking for!
Actually a life saver! This is unrelated, but where did you get that lamp?

Thank you for making this!
Dude this is exactly what i needed, thanks!
What graphics card did you use it to manage all of this trees.. ? .. even in nanite.. and do I need a lot of RAM ?
Unreal recommendation is that you have at least 8GB VRAM in your graphics card and at least 16-32GB RAM. I have a laptop that I use that has a 2600RTX 6GB VRAM and 32GB but my main PC runs 64GB RAM and a 3090RTX with 24GB VRAM.

@@owenjenkinsofficial ok. I´ll try. Thks again : )
wow nice job thank so much i love you bro
Thank you! It was actually the answer to my problem :>
you r a life saver, way more thx
Thanks for sharing this great tip! This is the simplest and easiest solution
finalmente um metodo excelente. Obrigado
De nada Cara 🤙🏼
thanks a lot you solved my problem
Thank you Owen 💯
Thank you man
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you
Thanks!🔥
Thank you so much
Awesome tip. Thanks!
Is it possible to do it in 4.27 as well?
Yes, you’ll just have to enable the modeling tools first because they aren’t default with UE 4.27
Obrigado pela grande ajuda, meu amigo! 👍
Claro cara 😎 espero que tá fazendo coisa legal com UE5!

Very valuable information indeed! Cheers mate
Thanks Man
For sure bro 😎
tq4this!!
Cool but how to do it for all assets on the scene with one click?
Unreal may not have a tool that can perfectly do it for all of them, like we can in blender. If anyone does know I’d love to know as well!
@@owenjenkinsofficial Hmm, good advice, I'll try it, thanks
you damn save my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Boss!
Any time!
i cant find modelling menu. only fracture and others are there. unreal engine 5

hi if you use datasmith it will export from say blender with all in the correct place

did this change? I dont see the transform menu there when i go into modeling mode.
It’s moved to a different tab but it is still present. Let me check which one it moved to. I know it’s still there cuz I used it yesterday.
@@owenjenkinsofficial i found it, its under the xform tab now
doesnt work on instanced static meshes
Try applying the change to the static mesh parent then, see if that works.

@Br_pow Yeah that’s so weird. It should work. I recorded this tutorial at the time that UE5.1 was the most current version.
wait I dont have modelling mode!!! jesus fkn christ.............
It’s available in the plugins if you don’t see it. Let’s try and keep vulgarity to a minimum here on this channel please
Foilage?!?
Haha yup! It’s still in experimental stages but it’s quite impressive what you can now do
@@owenjenkinsofficial I was making fun of your mispronunciation of foliage. I still liked your video.

@@owenjenkinsofficial your videos are great and in your defence foliage is a French word.
Haha well I ought to learn French and say em right! 😂 never hurts. And thank you for the praise. Humbled 🙏🏼
Thank you kind sir.
