Have you found a solution to this problem yet? I’m also looking for a similar method for .fbx files.

Yes, I figured out the solution.

  1. Get aMaterial from aiScene
  2. Get Texture
    aiString diffuse_map;
    material->GetTexture(aiTextureType_DIFFUSE, 0, &diffuse_map);
  3. Get 2D buffer from Texture (read png file),
  4. Create UTexure2D from this buffer
  5. Create readymade Texture2D in editor, create material, Convert to parameter
  6. Create CreateDynamicMaterialInstance from mesh and set texture using SetTextureParameterValue with above parameter name.

Is there any chance you can explain step 3 (and potentially 4?) on how to accomplish this? :o
