Blender to Unreal Tools, Part 1 - February 6 - Live from HQ

I am more and more convinced these “Blender Tools” are just an April Fools prank. It’s been half a year since the release, yet even the most basic issue with the general Blender to UE workflow, the scale discrepancy, has not been addressed. All the meshes exported from Blender to Unreal using this addon get imported at 1% of the original scale.

Suggesting users to change the unit scale in Blender is absolutely unacceptable, because Blender is built in such a way that working in a scale that’s off by two orders simply makes most of the tools glitch out to the point of completely unusable. Blender was not built to be used by other than the default unit scale. This is the exact class of issues that the exporters are supposed to handle properly, so it leaves me speechless that something that’s officially under the wings of Epic is so incredibly poorly executed. This exporter is definitely not up to Epic’s standards of software quality.

Rawalanche, can you please make sure you are on the latest versions. This was addressed a couple months ago. Also the official documentation should all be updated, so there shouldn’t be anything recommending a 0.01 scene scale anymore. There might be some unofficial tutorials floating around recommending the 0.01 scene scale, because that is what was recommended at the release, but now 1 or 0.01 should work just fine…

The official documentation is here

If you see anything in there that is outdated feel free to submit a PR to change the documentation. After you have completely removed both addons, restarted blender, and installed the latest versions, and are still experiencing issues feel free to report the bug as an issue to the github with step by step instructions/images/files on how we can reproduce the problem and we will take a look
