Hi thank you for all the great work, its definitely much easier to import scenes into UE4 now. I work with extremely heavy scenes so the Datasmith importer is definitely very helpful and saves tremendous amounts of time.
Here is a quick suggestion that would also help:
When importing Datasmith files in the material section (just like when importing an FBX file) it would be great to have a choice whether to import the materials or search for existing ones in the project. This would be great especially because of some limitations in the material conversion from 3dsMax to UE4, this would remove the hassle of always reassigning or replacing material references every time we import the models when we have a material library already made in UE4.
Obviously it would be great to have skeletal meshes/ animation support as well but I’m sure that’s something that has been brought up already.
Thank you.
