It’s awesome to see Blender getting attention from Epic! It was too often ignored in the UE3 days, it feels great to know that Epic is not only acknowledging Blender and its capabilities (about time!), but also donating to its cause.
Yeah, we’ve been doing a lot more direct talking with them lately. Mostly we are trying to get a solid pipeline for exporting from Blender to UE4. So far things are going really well and we hope to see some cool stuff in the near future.
As a blender user, I cannot but thank you a lot!! Blender is a great tool, especially for modeling, it is definitely worth having a good pipeline with UE4! I am sure investment will be repaid by a lot of great works by blender users.
I absolutely love what Epic is doing and the way they communicate with devs. I would even go and say that it is hard to imagine better company to work with and for. Absolutely love them!
