In UE 5.2 and 5.5 (using the new FBX importer) I run into the following issue: I create a model, skeletal mesh and some animations for that skeleton in Blender 4.3. All animation actions are shown below. [image] I export all to a single FBX file. In Unreal Engine, I import the FBX file, creati…

Could you try to make a custom interchange blueprint pipeline like this, that should do what you want. It is renaming the name of Anim Sequence asset using the corresponding track node name. You will have to add it to you fbx asset import pipelines. [image] Interchange Rename Anim Sequen…

Why does Unreal Engine mess up something basic like this? I used to work with fossil XRay engine where you’d just export import hundreds of animations on a human 1:1 few clicks done.

I don’t know yet how it works, but I think I understand the concept and having imports be customizable like that is actually amazing. I made an interchange blueprint pipeline asset, and I override the ScriptedExecutePipeline with your code. [image] [image] It remains unclear how I can override…

You seem to have done all good. Creation of an interchange blueprint pipeline and override of the ScriptedExecutePipeline Adding it in the good spot in the Pipeline stack: FBX use the default pipeline, unless you override in a per translator pipeline, so that is the correct space. You also put it…

That new code does something: [image] Here’s my FBX, and its blender 4.3.2 file, and the project I set up for interchange testing: SKM_HeroCharacter.fbx (81.2 KB) SKM_HeroCharacter.blend (652.1 KB) TestProject.zip (26.1 KB)

I did not look at your screenshot properly: the first pipeline I gave did something, instead of “SKM_HeroCharacter_Anim_Armature_HeroIdle” now you get “Armature_HeroIdle”. You could change the code to do a “split string” and only keep what is after the last “_” The extra Armature seems to come fro…

oh! I missed that :slight_smile: . I’m going to implement that on the pipeline asset and I will post back the result. Btw, being a programmer I’m quite happy the import turns out to be so customizable. I had never heard of Interchange.

Perfection. That’s more customizable than checkboxes on UI .
