Import to UE DataSmith with 3dsmax 2024 - Materials lose texture connection

Hi Datasmith team,

When I reimport using ‘Direct Link Import’ and start tweaking the materials on the 3dsmax side, Direct Link eventually stops working. Some material textures get randomly assigned to other meshes, while others just go completely blank.

I’m not sure what’s causing it. I’m using version 5.5.4 for both Unreal and Datasmith.

Could it be that Datasmith breaks after a certain number of Direct Link auto-imports?

Thanks
