Hi, I’m using 3ds MAX 2019 and I installed Datasmith for exporting objects with materials to UE5. But there is one problem. In exporting window in 3ds MAX I don’t have datasmith option. Nither in “export” or “export selected”. Yes I have installed it correctly.

Do you have the datasmith ribbon in your 3DSMax

> Hi Mouton001 ! In 5.1 we unified the workflow in 3dsMax to match our other plugins. You should now have a ribbon/toolbar called “Datasmith”, with your export options instead of exporting through Max’s “Export” menu. Cheers, Antoine

Thanks man, this is so crazy that I’ve looked everywhere and didn’t find this solution.
