Anything new on this front. I too like the initial poster feel this is a big short coming on the asset viewer page. Dragging and dropping like we do in the LEVEL is so intuitive. However when viewing the actual asset finding materials, isolating materials, just to find out what they are on the mesh is so time consuming. So thankful there is the ISOLATE checkbox…or it would be insane to get assets in and setup. We need to be able to setup the asset ONCE so that when we bring it in the LEVEL all the materials are setup already. If we drop the asset into the LEVEL and then give it materials, only that actor gets the materials…which is a nice thing in some cases, but starting with the proper defaults is a must in many cases.
Pretty new to Unreal, so sorry if some of the references are not completely accurate. Hopefully I’m overlooking a new feature or some way to do this in UE 5+ Thanks!
