[trolltime809]

I have exported a van vehicle from blender with applied auto smooth tick.But when i open in unreal it was without auto smooth , just smooth. Can someone help me how i can turn on auto smooth for unreal engine ?

Import with normals and tangents. There’s an option in the editor somewhere to open a dialog when reimporting, enable that and reimport you mesh, then choose import with normals and tangents.

I’m assuming there will be more that ask this same question, so I’ll leave what worked for me here:

Blender (2.90) settings:

Unreal settings:

Expand that little menu arrow in the “Mesh” menu. There are a few different options depending on if “Skeletal Mesh” is checked on or off, but “Normal Import Method” should be there for both.

Can’t say I know entirely why this works, but it does at least.

My mesh is created using the HardOps add-on, and all smoothing and stuff is done with the “Sharpen” command there. So this should work for anyone doing that.
