![]() ![]() Modify material instance to use the imported textures. Import textures in proper sub folder of model. Import model in proper folder - select do not create materials.

I prefer to use high texture res for unique UV models, sizing down the texture resolution based on need (Unreal does this). Over the years, and with many unwrapped models, I have adopted the texel density workflow, but limited only to models which use repeating textures. In any case, most would agree that UVs tend to be tedious. I am not saying it has to be done this way, but might be worth knowing about. This is quite a topic, but if it interests you, search online and get some knowledge on it. This might seem tedious and there is a workflow that addresses a standardization to the process, concerning over texel density. They can be scaled as large as needed and can be verified by seeing the texture in Blender while unwrapping. If you are working with tiling textures, ones that can repeat endlessly without seams, you do not need to keep model UVs within the 0-1 UV space when unwrapping. This is so the same Concrete material can be applied to numerous models, where the model UVs the placement of said textures used in said material. The model geometry must explain how a 2D texture should map to it - the material accesses the UV information. Models hold the UV information within them. Will I have to apply the material in Blender so the mesh can save the UV coordinates with material which have the correct scale, etc? Long timber beams have long stretched textures. I have to work out where I’m going to apply UV’s. I’m not planning on doing any kind of texture painting (character, monsters, etc) due to my theme, but I expect that would require a different approach? Kind thanks, this gave me a good result and TBH I really didn’t like Blenders complexity of applying materials as I had to render just to see it properly. In blender they were just mildly different colours so I could tell them apart. What I did do in Blender is create common name materials, Concrete, LVL, Plywood and Zincalume, as hints and assigned those materials in Blender. I suspect my first attempt had no material at all which created the mess, this time, 260 cubes, planes and circles turned in to a single model. I took the time to give this a try including modifying the base mesh, then re-importing it with different geometry and materials and UE4 handled that find, even finding out what ‘was’ and now ‘is’ and advising the resultant changes (though it looks like I can’t edit it.)Īlso as a test I decided not to join mat groups and found that I didn’t end up with a model soup as i did a few months ago when I last tried this. I didn’t even consider only adding materials in UE4 only and you understood correctly. Is this what I should be doing or is there a better way? I noticed I needed to ‘Join’ all the objects so I imported just one Model rather than dozens of parts.Whats going on with the Albedo file… also the AO file is in the material in shading in blender, but gets dropped as well. No albedo texture, so thats probably why my cube is white Only thing I change is I select ONLY the Mesh ‘Object Type’ Go to render mode, I see the brick is allied. ![]() Go in to Bridge, export material to Blender.Start with the Blender default cube which seems to be 2x2x2m. ![]() Right now all I get from below is a white brick textured cube in UE4. I can export it as FBX, import the grey models in to UE4.I’m looking for advice on a solid overall workflow. I’ve been modeling for a while and am producing geometry along the lines of what I’m looking for for my game. ![]()
