Wondering if instead of force deleting in unreal, you can right click on the asset and select "re-import". I believe it's a pretty robust operation that might update stuff like a new skeleton, new material? Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
I'm actually really confused about the second part of the tutorial (character rigging for UE4). Could you make a short, dedicated follow-up guide showing how to import a mixamo character, multiple animations as actions and exporting it to UE4? Without the (for me confusing) explanations and really just "to do this, do that, then you get this". Would be awesome!
The main problem is that modeling in blender at a 0.01 scale is tedious and many tools go wonky and not to mention the clipping plane issues so my tip here is model at blender default scale and then export it at 0.01 scale and re import it back. I know it's involving another operation but believe me you will thank me later.
I'd argue that it's better to have 0.01 scale the new default in Blender, and adjust clip distances accordingly. It saved more time and less prone to transformation errors.
@@MakotoIchinose If it was only about the clipping planes i wouldn't bother that much but it is also affecting modifiers, boolean, physic and cloth and sculpt brushes.
To all who is lost - GitHub link is not expired, you just need to gain access to it. To do so - google "Unreal Engine 4 on GitHub" and repeat steps from their site. I would like to share a link, but that probably would not be trustworthy.
Still having the same problem then without this plugin... I got a shader that puts grass on top with grass just down sides a little bit but on the ue4 shape cube this works but on the blender cubes its got grass on top... 3 sides pure dirt then grass on the other side, so i dont know how to fix this... Just trying to make a simple minecraft style texture to work with at the moment i say minecraft so you know what im trying to do with the material but its pure grass on all 3 sides is that my material coords? is that the uvs not facing right when exporting from blender? please help... Trying to make a platformer and i need higher poly count cubes...
I'm still getting the error with the skeleton being sent to Unreal. It sends everything except the animation. I've deleted the folders from Unreal and even renamed the Armature in Blender and it's still not working.
Can someone please tell me how to get that pipeline button for exporting options. I've tried looking in add ons plug ins view port options. and google has nothing to say other then how great it is. Please Help I'm Dying inside with every moment that passes withiest this knowledge.
hey dude but for some reason the github web page does not show up for me, is keeps on throwing up a error. Would you know why? My git hub is connected to my epic games.
Great tutorial! Thanks! Is there a way to add multiple animations for the same object to UE4 with this method? For example a running animation and a walking animation for the same character. Because it always replaces the old animation right?
awesome! thanks for that! how come some materials like from mixamo dont automatically get sent over? if i add my own materials it works fine. any idea please? should be easy.....
2 steps, go to your account setting in epic launcher and link your account with github from there, then go to github.com/epicgames and accept their invitation. Only then you would see the blendertools.
Got it, when you finish linking your github account with Epic account, then you go to Epic's github github.com/EpicGames/ and you'll see on top of the screen an invitation for you to get access on private files, you just need to accept it.
Will this work for UE4.13 sorry I have a old laptop and 13 it's his limit at the moment . Also he has a really old video cart who is really useless when it comes down to dealing with good rendering . I swear this laptop is like want's to explode when I try to do some basic works .
For anyone experiencing the problem where the pipeline option does not appear in the blender menu I found installing addon send2ue_1.7.1 works. Later versions do not work for some reason. My specs Windows 10 Blender 2.93.6 Unreal Engine 4.27.1
I get a "Could not find Unreal Editor instance" error. Plus for some reason it seems I can't have both UE2rigify AND send2unreal plugins enables. One disables the other. Even with just the send2unreal plugin though I can't send anything to my editor. Does anyone have a fix?
I dunno about the plugins disabling each other but, about the "cannot find instance" error, I was having the same problem, you have to go: Edit > Project settings > search "python" > Enable Remote Execution. You don't need to restart and it should start working right away.

Hey I work with Blender in MM rather than Meters, if I have the 'always use unreal scene scale' do I need to have the units in Meters rather than milimeters?
Every time I click on the live link github add on page, it says 404 not found. I've linked my github account to my epic games account, so I'm not sure if they took it down or there's something I'm doing wrong?
This is good , But the 'Blender to Unreal Engine 4 ' Plugin by Loux Xavier(BleuRaven) offers great features like setting up Custom LOD's within Blender Itself ,More Options for Parenting and Animations .
Read your comment and was like "hang on, I've definitely seen sth like that..." -> turns out there is but it's a $60+ add-on ... however, Jim Kroovy, the guy behind Mr. Mannequin Tools recommended it in one of his vids: ruclips.net/video/mcPkFqocrHQ/видео.html so at least it seems decent.
There is no harm in trying to convert people to a better software. Blender is better at modelling and I have used many applications including Maya and Max and l can say without a doubt that blenders tools add-ons etc are much better. I am sorry if that fact hurts you. It is what it is. For decades blender has been mocked and ridiculed from Maya/Max users but now that blender is surpassing the Industries best software some of our massive community would like to mock them back. It seems Maya/Max users have indeed started something that will go on for a very long time.

Excellent video tutorial!!! All I can say is that this is EPIC!!! This is definitely the greatest time to be a 3D Artist and an Indie Developer . :)
Thanks for showing the "remote execution" part!
Imagine the power unleashed with blender 2.9 and ue5 🤯
My friend...just as you, I can see the future of CGI changing with this combo!!
I guess a 3.0 will be mind blowing
The plan is to mkae good graphics accessible to indies. That's why they bought quixel

Make sure you're logged into GitHub with an account linked to your UE community account.

The live link addon link is broken. do you have another option?
You dont have to trow another actor there, just change the animation at actor properties.
Do we have to set our PBR textures by ourselves? Why cant our pipeline ( blender to UE ) set the material for us?
The link doesn't exist anymore :(
Amazing
great video, excellent explained. Can i bring the blendshapes done in blender to unreal engine too with the animation?
can hair particles also imported (if the character have hair):And when we export does PBR texturing also suppport?
THANKYOUUU!!!
it will be troblesome if more than one person working at same project or have separeted objects in projects?
