I don’t think you can draw a simile between a content pack and a finished, published game.

Yes you can. It depends on the game and the asset. Some assets take months to finish and some crappy games a week & vice versa. The point is, both are IPs and our 3d files need to be protected the same way customers can’t access your source code.

@RecourseDesign

There’s only so much you can do with the built in tools (although they are getting pretty good).

I disagree. The UE5 modeling tool kit is more than you need to play around with bought assets. Wishing to do more, raises IP concerns (such as re-sculpting, re-painting, decimating for 3D printing, etc).

@RecourseDesign

And where do you draw the line? Would you want to also lock Textures from being exported?

You can export the textures all you want but if the 3D file is locked inside UE5… then your modified textures will be Junk. All 3D painting software requires a 3D file to read or generate UVs, including vertex paiting.
