Incredible donation to the community! This bit if generosity is what makes Epic and Unreal much more worthy of respect among developers and players over Crytek, Amazon, and Unity. Not even because of the fantastic engine but because of generousity to the community. Seriously, how many games devs have shut down their games permanently, and then how many of those devs have donated all of the assets to the community for free. Epic is the only example I can think of so far.

You guys make me proud to be a UE4 user!

On a side note regarding the assets. The license states they are allowed for use only in the Unreal Engine, which is perfectly clear. However, are we allowed to edit the assets outside of the engine as long as the subsequently edited assets are only distributed via a title running on Unreal Engine?

An example would be me exporting the an environment asset, making a few edits to the mesh, and then reimporting into the engine for use.

I just want to be certain what the boundaries are!

And once again thanks guys!

It doesn’t even look like that’s possible strangely, as many have reported that the export menu is missing. Which means these assets are nice for looking at, but you can’t really do anything with them outside of what’s permissible within the abilities of the editor. If you want to swap hair meshes with characters, or add accessories to a mesh you can’t. It’d be nice if we could get a staff member to clarify why this is the case. It really hinders the ability to use these assets in any meaningful way.
